At present, there are three ways to receive, namely, scan the code to receive, the other party needs to verify my initials when receiving, and designated users to receive. If the funds are not collected within 24 hours after the transfer, they will be automatically returned in the same way. (Source: Fast Technology)

American University researchers develop new technology to charge electric vehicles in ten minutes
According to a study published in the latest issue of Nature, Penn State researchers have developed a breakthrough technology that reduces the charging time of electric vehicle batteries to just 10 minutes, which is the result of shorter charging times and longer charging time. A record-breaking combination between long driving miles.
The research team developed the technology in partnership with start-up company EC Power. The technology relies on internal thermal modulation, an active method of temperature control where the battery operates most efficiently when it is hot, but not too hot.
To regulate the temperature, they designed a new battery structure that added ultra-thin nickel foil as a fourth component in addition to the anode, electrolyte, and cathode. The nickel foil self-regulates the temperature and reactivity of the battery, enabling a 10-minute fast charge on almost any EV battery. (Source: Science and Technology Daily)
