6 Mesi : Da Apr 2019 a Ott 2019
By Adrienne Roberts and Mike Colias
This article is being republished as part of our daily reproduction of WSJ.com articles that also appeared in the U.S. print edition of The Wall Street Journal (May 20, 2019).
The growing popularity of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Ram pickup truck is pushing the car maker's Detroit rivals to defend their positions in a highly profitable corner of the auto market.
Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. have long occupied the top two spots selling large pickup trucks in the U.S. Ram lagged behind in third place, but has recently started gaining on its larger rivals by packing its latest trucks with new technology and more luxurious interiors. It also is attracting many first-time buyers with showroom rebates, dealers and analysts say.
Ram overtook its chief competitor, the Chevy Silverado, in full-size pickup truck sales for the first time in the first quarter of 2019, according to GM and Fiat Chrysler. Ram's full-size truck sales increased 7% last year to 537,000, while Chevy Silverado sales remained flat.
GM, which sold roughly 800,000 big pickups last year, still tops Fiat Chrysler in overall truck sales, because it sells a second full-size truck model, the GMC Sierra. Ford remains in the lead, selling about 900,000 big pickups last year.
"Ram has definitely stepped up their game particularly on the inside of the truck," said Sam Soroka, a 34-year-old account manager in Potomac, Md., who recently leased a new 2019 Ram 1500 truck. "It feels like I'm in a Mercedes."
Mr. Soroka said he hadn't been interested in a Ram until he saw his friend's 1500 pickup model last fall and decided to get his own. It is his first truck.
According to some analysts, Ram has taken the unusual step of offering substantial discounts on a brand-new truck, which could help entice loyal buyers to switch brands but also cuts into the company's profits on the vehicle.
"Ram is the most aggressive right now with rebates while GM has backed off in the first quarter," said Adam Kraushaar, president of Lester Glenn Auto Group, which sells GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler vehicles in New Jersey.
For instance, Fiat Chrysler offered an average discount of $5,900 on its new Ram 1500 in the first quarter, compared with $5,000 that GM offered for the recently redesigned Chevy Silverado, according to data from Edmunds.com.
Large pickups are huge profit generators for the Detroit car makers, fueling the bulk of their global profits. Analysts estimate the companies make about $10,000 from each sale of a large pickup-truck.
Truck buyers tend to be fiercely loyal to one brand, making it a challenge for rivals to take market share. Ram has been able to lure buyers from competitors and attract first-timers with an interior that looks more like a luxury sport-utility vehicle than a work truck, analysts and buyers say.
Those gains are helping Ram's Italian-American parent company offset weaknesses in other brands and overseas. Ram was the only Fiat Chrysler brand to increase U.S. sales in the first quarter of 2019. Executives credited the brand's strong performance with counteracting otherwise poor sales in North America, where operating profit dropped 11%.
A redesigned Ram 1500 pickup that arrived in dealerships last year is helping. The brand's share of the full-size truck market climbed to 23% in the first quarter, up from 22% at the end of 2018 and 21% in 2017, according to company sales reports.
In contrast, GM's share of large pickup sales dropped to 30% in the first quarter this year, down from 33% at the end of last year, the company-provided data shows. Ford's share rose 3 percentage points to 41% in that same period, but analysts say it has had to deepen discounts on its top-selling F-150 truck to hold on.
Jim Morrison, Ram's chief in North America, said the company packed the new Ram truck with premium materials and technology, like an optional 12-inch touch-screen right control panel. "We were overcompensating for something, for sure," Mr. Morrison said in an interview. He declined to comment on Ram's truck discounts or competitors.
Some car reviewers have lauded the Ram's new interior, while panning the cabin of the Chevy Silverado as less posh.
GM President Mark Reuss said in an interview, "We know our customers love the interior of the truck. This is not over. We play for the long term."
Executives at GM have said they are prioritizing higher prices over simply boosting sales, which is why the company has held the line on discounts. The average price paid for new versions of GM's Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups was about $48,000 in the first quarter, 20% higher than the price paid for older models sold a year earlier, the company has said.
Ford, meanwhile, has deepened discounts on its top-selling F-150, one of the oldest pickup trucks on the market, partly to fend off the competition, analysts say. Average company spending on sales incentives for that model was $6,300 in the first quarter, up from $5,800 last year and about $400 more than Fiat Chrysler's incentives for the Ram truck, according to Edmunds.com.
A Ford spokesman said Ford continues to widen its lead while Ram and Chevy battle for second place. Strong pickup-truck pricing helped power profits in the first quarter, Ford executives have said, and next year, the F-150 truck will get a redesign -- its first in six years.

By Sam France
Former British champion Daryl Selby is looking forward to the challenge of holding off the new generation at the AJ Bell British National Squash Championships from 14-17 February, which he believes will be the most open tournament in years.
With ten-time winner Nick Matthew's lengthy reign brought to an end by retirement, any number of players could be going to Nottingham fancying their chances of a win.
Selby, who won the tournament eight years ago, beating then-World#1 Matthew in the final, is itching to add a second national title to his collection.
"It would mean a lot. I'm lucky enough to have won it in 2011 so I know the feeling you get when you win it and become British champion. It's a great feeling.
"This year it's a lot more interesting than it's ever been. Nick's retired and he's been extremely dominant in the Nationals over the last decade, so it opens it up.
"I think now when you look at it, there's a lot of players that could win.
"Any of the top eight seeds or even going down to ten, you could argue have a genuine case for winning which makes it the most interesting Nationals in years."
Selby enjoyed a successful 2018, winning silver at the Commonwealth Games and a first PSA tour victory in two years in Qatar.
And while he is only two-and-a-half years younger than the retired Matthew, he isn't thinking too hard about retirement just yet.
"It's going to have to happen at some point," he admitted.
"Nick put a date on his and worked towards that and I can't really do that because I still feel pretty good when I play.
"It's something you always think about but while I'm still enjoying playing – which I definitely am – and while I'm still competing with the top guys and not letting my level drop too low, then I'll just keep going as long as I can.
"You're a long time retired and I enjoy competing and being on the other side of the table. Being one of the oldest guys and trying to keep the youngsters at bay is a good challenge in itself and I just love different challenges.
"It used to be me trying to beat the top guys, being a young buck and trying to come through and improve. Now I'm doing it the other way and trying to use the experience, guile, knowledge and good squash to combat these extremely fast and fit youngsters!
"New days, new challenges."

Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, the Major1 has touched hearts of people, who became the victims of shack fire that destroyed their homes in Alexandria. With his lavish love towards the needy, the prophet once again proofed as A Man of Works not Talks, by his wonderful work. In his own way, Bushiri has come up with a unique exhortation in doing amazing charity of donating life saving aid to the victims.
Bushiri came to the rescue ground and admired everyone by distributing the expensive food items with his own hands in a most delightful and humble manner. Prophet Bushiri stood as an exemplary figure to these needy people and an amplitude of kindness.
Prophet said, that he came to that place of needy to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ rather than preaching. He has Faith in showing the love of Jesus to the people as God warn us to do his work in action.
People started screaming towards Major 1 that He is the true prophet to this generation and a positive inspiration to the world.

text: A very detailed history of that most famous Civil War naval battle, between the North's Monitor and the Confederacy's Merrimac--the first confrontation between ironclad ships. Davis traces the ships' fates iron conception through construction, and the March, 1862 naval encounter in which the Monitor successfully protected the wooden Federal fleet from the new Southern superweapon. Contrary to popular myth, Davis points out, the ironclad was not a new idea at the time; it had already been built by several European powers. The Monitor revolutionized naval warfare nevertheless by successfully combining iron construction with a moveable gun turret, high maneuverability, steam power and a ventilation system. From the War's start both the North and South were engaged in a race to produce such ships. Promoters had to overcome government bureaucracies, spies were dispatched by each side to get drawings and blueprints, the bugs were worked out and, at last, before a huge crowd on the Virginia shore--including French and British observers--the two titans met. Davis successfully captures the excitement and horror of that history-making sea war and the political and engineering feats which launched the new age of iron fleets.

Awash in the effects of building unwisely
Our Piedmont terrain is hills, valleys, ravines and creeks. Rainwater runs downhill. The result of those immutable facts is that when it rains, Charlotte's creeks swell with water and spill out of their banks.
Tuesday night and Wednesday it rained – and rained. Some spots got up to 10 inches, and more rain was forecast for Wednesday night. The result – as usual – was major flooding, plenty of disruption from evacuations and closed streets, and serious property damage.
In Charlotte, an estimated 100 houses were damaged or destroyed. Dozens of houses were also damaged or destroyed in Cabarrus County.
Creeks overflowed and flooded streets. Briar Creek, which cuts through a large slice of southeast Charlotte, was out of its banks for several miles. Several major traffic arteries – East Independence Boulevard, Albemarle Road and Central Avenue – were closed.
Some of that mayhem is inevitable. But too much results from decades of unwise building and development.
Mother Nature has ways to handle flooding: creeks in shallow banks meander across wide floodplains, which fill with floodwaters which slowly recede. But until recently humans here ignored Nature's lessons. Engineers straightened and deepened creeks – which allows flood waters to pick up dangerous speed and erode creekbanks, further deepening the channel. Creeks were forced into pipes, distorting their natural flow.
Slack local regulations for decades allowed homes and businesses in floodplains and on steep creek banks. Builders still haul in dirt to raise lots and houses, which displaces floodwaters and causes deeper flooding on others' properties.
Although Mecklenburg County since 2000 has spent $40 million in local, state and federal money to buy floodprone houses and demolish them, as recently as five years ago developers were being allowed to build on lots that have flooded regularly for decades. Witness four lots on Eastover Woods, a new cul-de-sac off Twiford Place along Briar Creek in the affluent Eastover neighborhood.
Developers won permission to build million-dollar homes there despite ample evidence the lots for years had been under water during heavy rains. Wednesday, the two houses built so far were cut off by water that had closed both Twiford and Eastover Woods.
In recent years the city and county governments have tightened their rules and adopted more nature-friendly techniques. In theory, Eastover Woods wouldn't be allowed today. As part of the city's storm water management program, it is making once-straightened creeks crooked again and trying to enforce undeveloped buffers along creek banks.
But those restitution projects take time and money. Meanwhile, ever more private development covers ever more soil with rooftops and pavement, sending ever more stormwater coursing into creeks, instead of soaking into the ground.
And we all continue to pay – in disruption, damage and danger – for this community's legacy of reckless building in harm's way.

Tuesday, 12 June 2018 08:37 AM
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Central Bank will on Thursday weigh when and how to end its bond-buying stimulus program — an exit that will have far-reaching consequences across the economy, from long-suffering savers to Europe's indebted governments.
The bank, which sets monetary policy for the 19 countries that use the euro, has been buying 30 billion euros ($35.5 billion) a month in government and corporate bonds from banks. The purchases are slated to run at least through September, and longer if necessary.
Analysts say that decisions on the exit path, which could include several intermediate steps, might come Thursday or at the July 26 meeting. Scenarios include reducing the purchases past September, and then stopping them at the end of the year.
An end to the stimulus would be part of a major shift in the global economy. The ECB would be joining the U.S. Federal Reserve in withdrawing the massive monetary stimulus deployed to combat the Great Recession and its aftermath. The Fed is expected to raise rates at its meeting Wednesday.
The ECB's bond purchases, which started in March 2015, pump newly printed money into the economy, which in theory should help raise inflation toward the bank's goal of just under 2 percent. Inflation was an annual 1.9 percent in May, but the bank needs to be able to say that inflation will stay in line with its target even after the stimulus is withdrawn.
Market participants pricked up their ears last week when top ECB official Peter Praet said Thursday's meeting would be an occasion to consider when to wind down the program. Praet supervises economics at the ECB as a member of its six-member executive board and in that capacity proposes monetary policy moves for debate and decision by the 25-member governing council. That gives his words extra weight.
The impact of the ECB's bond-buying stimulus has been felt across the economy.
It has pushed up the prices of assets like stocks, bonds and real estate but also lowered returns for savers. It has helped keep borrowing costs low for European governments as the ECB purchases have driven bond prices up and yields down. Yields and prices move in opposite directions.
For example, the Italian government, which is burdened with the second-highest debt load in the eurozone after Greece at 132 percent of gross domestic product, pays only 2.79 percent annually to borrow for 10 years. That's less than the 2.96 percent yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys.
The ECB meeting will be held in Riga, Latvia, as one of the ECB's occasional road meetings away from its Frankfurt headquarters to underline its role as a pan-European institution. A bribery investigation is expected to keep the head of the host central bank, Ilmars Rimsevics, from attending the meeting and news conference with ECB President Mario Draghi.
The ECB is continuing its slow progress toward withdrawing the stimulus despite turbulence in Italy, where the new populist government has questioned the spending and debt restrictions required of euro members. Concerns over Italian politics caused big swings in the country's financial markets for several days last month, before easing.
Analysts Joerg Kraemer and Michael Schubert at Commerzbank said that the ECB may soon have to end its stimulus program anyway as it risks running out of bonds that are eligible for purchase. The ECB has limited itself to no more than one-third of any member country's outstanding bonds to avoid becoming the dominant creditor of member states.
With the purchases widely expected to be stopped at the end of this year, they said, attention would now turn to how long the bank would wait after the bond-purchase exit before starting to raise its interest rate benchmarks.
"The ECB probably wants to ensure that the end of bond purchases does not unleash speculation about interest rate hikes," they wrote in a research note. "The ECB Council ... might declare that rates will not be increased for 'at least' six months after the end of purchases."
Currently the short-term interest rate benchmark is zero, and the rate on deposits left by commercial banks at the ECB is negative 0.4 percent. The negative rate is a penalty aimed at pushing banks to lend that money instead of hoard it.

§ 12.5 p.m.
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
I beg to move, in page 15, line 28, to leave out "date on 2138 which that money is to be paid," and to insert "redemption date."
All the Amendments on this Clause, with the exception of one, arise out of the acceptance in Committee of an Amendment moved by my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Ashford (Mr. Spens). They are to provide for recovery of redemption money, not in a single payment as originally in the Bill, but by instalments.
§ Mr. SPEAKER
I understood that all the Amendments hang together with the exception of one. Is that so?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
Yes, Sir. The one exception is that on page 17, line 14, to leave out Sub-section (11), and to insert a new Sub-section in its place.
§ 12.7 p.m.
Mr. ACLAND
May I ask one thing on the administration of this Clause as it would be amended? It is true that there is now power to redeem compulsorily tithe under £1. In the Tithe Act of 1878 there was power for an impartial referee to see that redemption was carried out on terms reasonably fair to the tithe-payer, and particularly to the tithe-payer of small means, and I believe that on many occasions they have refused to allow a redemption to go through on the ground of hardship. May I ask the Minister if anybody is going to carry out that function, as it were a referee between the Commission, first of all, and later on the Treasury, on the one side, and the tithe-payer on the other? I have grave fears as to what will be the result if the Commission and later on the Treasury make large-scale compulsory redemption orders in the case of all tithes under £1, and I would ask the Minister if he will do his best to see that in the first year or two the procedure of compulsory redemption is only undertaken gradually and somewhat experimentally. I think we might get into very grave difficulties if the Commission of the Treasury went for all the small payments along the lines of compulsory redemption.
I appreciate that there are provisions for the extinguishment of small tithes which are not worth the trouble of collecting, but I question very much 2139 whether the Treasury will not be tempted to ignore that procedure in favour of the compulsory redemption procedure, because whereas it may not be worth while to collect 2s. 6d. a year for 60 years, it might seem to the Treasury to be very well worth while to collect, I believe it would be, some £3 15s. as a lump sum. Under the present law, where a tithe-payer would be paying perhaps some 5s. a year as tithe and some 2½d. a year as redemption, there are many small tithe-payers who will resent that 2½d. They will say, "I do not mind paying my tithe, but why should I pay something so that somebody else in the far distant future should benefit?" These small land-owners, generally allotment-owners, do not understand that the payment is gradually increasing the value of their land in the open market by each payment removing a small part of the charge from it. They are not interested in their land 60 years hence, and I think that very great discontent will be produced if these small people are asked to pay compulsory redemption even by four, five, or six instalments. I would therefore ask the Minister, in the interests of peace and good feeling on the countryside, that the compulsory redemption procedure should be undertaken by the Commission and afterwards by the Treasury very gently, very gradually, and in such a way as will give an opportunity for individual cases to be brought up to the Minister for consideration and not overwhelmed in a flood of compulsory redemption orders, where it will not be possible to give proper consideration to each case.
§ Colonel BURTON
I have here a report of a case where an old couple, aged 73 and 79, living on the old age pension had their furniture thrown into the front garden and sold in order to redeem a tithe amounting to £2 17s. 6d. I am sure that such action is not the wish of my right hon. Friend, and I hope he will do something to give effect to the desire expressed by the hon. Member for Barnstaple (Mr. Acland) for some kind of referee in such cases.
§ 12.12 p.m.
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
I quite appreciate the point raised by the hon. Member for Barnstaple (Mr. Acland), and I think he may take it as certain that this administration will be sympathetically carried 2140 out by the Commission. With regard to the actual case put by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Sudbury (Colonel Burton), under this Bill, when it becomes an Act, it will be possible, as it is not possible now, for the Commission to get its redemption money by instalments and not in a lump sum, so as to spread it over weeks, or months, or years in order to prevent such a bad occurrence as that which he mentioned. In Committee we went through this Clause meticulously in order to make it easier for those who might be called upon to redeem. I do not think it is so much a case for a referee or machinery of that kind as a case for sympathetic and kindly administration on the lines urged by the hon. Member for Barnstaple, and in view of the fact that the authority has power to postpone redemption and to ask for it by instalments, I think that ample latitude is given. I think the House can rest assured that there will be sympathetic and wise administration.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendments made:
In page 15, line 37, at the end, insert:
Provided that the appropriate authority may postpone service of a redemption notice during such period as they may think fit, and may revoke or amend such a notice, and generally may make such provision in respect of the compulsory redemption of annuities as will avoid any undue hardship on any owner of land in respect of which an annuity redeemable compulsorily is charged.
In line 42, leave out "that date," and insert:
the redemption date:
Provided that the appropriate authority may provide for payments by instalments on dates to be specified in the notice.
§ In page 16, line 3, leave out "date specified in the notice," and insert "redemption date."
§ In line 5, leave out Sub-section (6).
§ In line 21, leave out "payment is made," and insert "redemption date."
In line 29, leave out from "charged," to the end of the Sub-section, and insert:
the like notice as if it had been charged and the notice were a redemption notice served in respect thereof."—[Mr. Ramsbotham.]
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAM
I beg to move, in page 17, line 14, to leave out Subsection (11), and to insert: 2141(11) The appropriate authority may, on the application of the person by whom any sum is paid in respect of the redemption of an annuity grant to him a certificate charging any land in respect of which the annuity was charged or any estate or interest therein with that sum or any part thereof, together with interest at such rate as the authority may determine, and a person to whom such a certificate is granted shall be entitled to a charge in accordance with the terms thereof having such priority in relation to other charges on the property charged as may be specified in the certificate.The Clause as it stands deals with charges in favour of persons who pay redemption moneys. The object of the Clause is to enable a person who is not the owner of the whole interest in land and who discharges the land from the burden of an annuity, to recoup himself out of the land as a whole. It is quite a reasonable provision such as is commonly made in similar circumstances as, for example, where a part owner redeems land tax or pays off Death Duties. The Sub-section as it stands makes it obligatory on the appropriate authority to grant a charge which will operate over all interests in the freehold and in priority to any other interest or incumbrance. It has been pointed out that such a provision is not sufficiently elastic. It would, for example, give a long leaseholder upon whom the burden of redemption ought to fall a right to a charge over the freehold for which he could make no just claim. The Sub-section has, therefore, been recast so as to make it more elastic and to enable the appropriate authority to grant such charge as seems to them just in the circumstances.
§ Amendment agreed to.
Further Amendment made: In page 17, line 33, at the end, insert:
(13) In this section the expression 'redemption date' means, in a case in which a redemption notice or a notice under sub-section (8) of this section is served, the date or the first date, as the case may be, on which a payment is thereby required, and means, in a case in which a payment is made under sub-section (7) of this section, the date on which that payment is made."—[Mr. Ramsbotham.]

Extra Chinese language customers prepared to boycott US items
Most Chinese language customers say they're able to boycott US items because the commerce warfare worsens, however the chance of a government-orchestrated transfer to encourage them to take action stays low for now.
An FT Confidential Analysis survey of 1,000 city customers discovered simply over 60 per cent saying they'd or undoubtedly would cease shopping for US items because of the commerce warfare, up from the 54 per cent who stated they'd accomplish that in a related survey performed final summer season.
The newest survey, which was performed in mid-June, forward of the Osaka assembly between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump but in addition of the US president's newest tariff risk, discovered the proportion of customers saying they'd most likely or undoubtedly not change their behaviour remaining unchanged at about 13 per cent.
Donald Trump's risk — and it stays simply that — to levy 10 per cent tariffs on one other $300bn in Chinese language items once more raises questions concerning the potential for a Chinese language shopper boycott of US items.
If this isn't only a negotiating tactic and the president does go forward along with his newest risk, that might imply tariffs are levied on virtually all the things that China sells to the US. With China's retaliatory tariffs already overlaying almost all the things that it buys from the US, the federal government must discover non-tariff steps towards Mr Trump's commerce actions.
'Mandatory countermeasures'
In response to Mr Trump's tweeted risk, the Ministry of Commerce pledged to take "vital countermeasures" if he goes forward, however didn't elaborate.
Whipping up a shopper boycott of US items would appear a straightforward and populist manner of expressing discontent with White Home coverage. The Chinese language authorities has wielded shopper boycotts up to now as a cudgel, most not too long ago towards Japan and South Korea (in 1905, the imperial authorities stopped a grassroots boycott of American items over the therapy of Chinese language immigrants within the US).
This time could also be totally different. Nonetheless sturdy the nationalist impulse to lash out at US manufacturers reminiscent of Apple, China's management is eager to current itself as a accountable international commerce actor and opponent of protectionism and so might want much less seen and fewer socially and economically disruptive methods of exhibiting its displeasure.
A few of these might echo the quiet steps taken towards Korea throughout a diplomatic spat over the choice to deploy a missile system in 2016. Purposes for efficiency licences by Korean acts had been refused with out rationalization, the operations of Korean firms had been disrupted by native authorities and home tour firms stopped providing journeys to Korea.
It's exhausting to inform if China is already shifting towards US cultural imports because of the commerce warfare. Though US actors have stated they've been banned from Chinese language film studios, China's media business is much more risk-averse than traditional this yr as authorities scrutiny tightens forward of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Folks's Republic of China in October.
Really helpful
Apple unscathed
Apple could be a logical goal in any shopper boycott. In addition to being a really seen US model, the White Home clampdown on Huawei helps the rationale for taking motion towards a market chief in the identical business.
Nonetheless, regardless of reviews of on-line chatter that a focused boycott towards Apple is already below manner, there's little proof that the iPhone has develop into a casualty of the commerce warfare.
In its newest earnings report Tim Prepare dinner, chief govt, was upbeat on the corporate's efficiency in China, whereas a June FT Confidential Analysis survey of shopper model choice for cellphones confirmed Apple bouncing again from a fall on the finish of final yr.
The survey additionally exhibits the rising dominance of Huawei within the Chinese language smartphone market, one thing we beforehand ascribed to a groundswell of patriotic assist within the wake of US actions towards the corporate.
Nonetheless, Huawei has not risen at Apple's expense — the iPhone's followers stay loyal, helped by the stickiness of the iOS, Apple's proprietary working system. As a substitute, customers look like abandoning different Android-powered telephones reminiscent of these made by home rivals Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo for Huawei's superior know-how.
If some commentators on-line are calling for a boycott of Apple merchandise, others observe the corporate's financial significance to China.
Apple stated in a report final month that it now supported greater than 5m jobs in China.

Next electric cars could use sand-based batteries
Joe Duarte
Jul 9, 2014 in
- The next generation of electric vehicles (EVs) may run on a new lithium ion battery made from beach sand, according to new research at the University of California, Riverside.
And it could reportedly outperform the current crop of batteries by 300 percent.
"This is the holy grail — a
low cost, non-toxic
, environmentally friendly way to produce high performance lithium ion battery anodes," Zachary Favors — a graduate student at UC Riverside's Bourns College of Engineering, who came upon the idea while relaxing on a beach — told the website phys.org.
Focusing on the negative side of the battery (the anode), Favors and the other graduate students in the research team set about using the sand to replace the current anode material (graphite, which is nearing its full potential to supply the extra power today's electronics demand).
However, it's not as easy as pouring sand into a plastic battery casing. The sand has to have a high quartz (silicon oxide) content, which is then purified and mixed with salt and magnesium, in order to remove the oxygen.
The processed silicon material was used in a watch battery, returning performance improved three times over that of a current battery. Fashioned into larger batteries, the team envisions mobile phones that would need to be recharged every three days, and electric vehicles that could travel three times farther on a single charge of batteries that will
last three times longer
(the lifespan of the current EV battery is estimated at about five to seven years, or roughly 160,000 km). That would alleviate EV owners' range anxiety and save them thousands of dollars when it comes time to replace the batteries.
UC Riverside research group
was headed by the husband and wife team of Cengiz and Mihri Okzan, whose nanotechnology research is developing devices 25,000 times thinner than a human hair, to deliver chemotherapy doses directly to cancer cells without harming surrounding tissue.
A report on the
sand-based lithium ion battery research
was published in the July 2014 edition of Nature Scientific Reports, authored by Favors, the Ozkans, and graduate students Wei Wang, Hamed Hosseini Bay, Zafer Mutlu, Kazi Ahmed and Chueh Liu.

Stephen Morris set a University of Miami record on Saturday by throwing for 566 yards against North Carolina State.
The Hurricanes needed every inch.
Morris' final pass of the game, a 62-yard bomb to Phillip Dorsett, snapped a 37-37 tie with 19 seconds left to play as Miami defeated the Wolfpack 44-37 and improved to 3-0 in ACC games for the first time since joining the conference in 2004.
The victory marked the second week in a row that Morris sparked a UM win with a huge performance. He threw for 436 yards in a 42-36 overtime victory last week against Georgia Tech while rallying the Hurricanes (4-1) from a 17-point fourth quarter deficit.
On Saturday, Morris was even better. He smashed Gino Torretta's single-game school records for passing yards (485) and total offense (485) by a wide margin and tied the UM mark with five touchdown passes. Morris' 566 passing yards also set an ACC record.
But all the impressive numbers wouldn't have mattered for much if not for Morris' last throw. On 3rd-and-11 from the UM 38, Morris avoided a sack, scrambled to his right then unloaded a pass that traveled more than 60 yards through the air before landing in Dorsett's hands at the N.C. State 7.
"Holy (expletive)," coach Al Golden said he thought.
Dorsett, five yards behind the nearest defender, fell into the end zone for his second touchdown of the day. Dorsett finished with 191 receiving yards, the sixth-highest total in school history.
"People dream about it, but it's kind of crazy when you're in the moment," Morris said of his game-winning throw. "I was speechless. I don't know how many more I have in me. I don't want the game to always go down to the last play."
Saturday's game didn't seem a likely candidate for a rousing finish. After falling behind 7-0, the Hurricanes ripped off 23 consecutive points behind Morris, who completed 12-of-17 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter. According to ESPN, since 2004 only three FBS quarterbacks have thrown for more yards in a quarter than Morris did in the first quarter against the Wolfpack (3-2, 0-1 ACC).
But UM's leaky defense was unable to keep N.C. State from rallying. The Hurricanes allowed 664 yards of total offense, the second-highest mark in school history, and permitted the Wolfpack to score 10 points late in the fourth quarter to tie the game.
"I accepted a long time ago that's who we are," Golden said. "It's just survive and advance."
As bad as UM's defense played, it did force N.C. State into six turnovers. That included a Thomas Finnie interception with 48 seconds left in the game that set up the Morris-to-Dorsett game-winner.
"We have a lot of mistakes to correct on defense," senior cornerback Brandon McGee said. "But as long as you're winning, that's all that matters."
The Hurricanes' breakdowns weren't confined entirely to defense. Kicker Jake Wieclaw missed three field goals and tight ends Clive Walford and Asante Cleveland let touchdown passes slip through their hands.
But North Carolina State was even worse. The Wolfpack committed 14 penalties, missed an extra point, fumbled four times in one five-series stretch in the first half and gave up a safety. All-American cornerback David Amerson was torched for at least three touchdowns, including the Morris-to-Dorsett 62-yard hookup.
"In 38 years, I haven't seen a football team make this many mistakes," N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien said.
By game's end, everyone on the field was exhausted. That included Golden, who politely asked reporters if he could conclude the post-game news conference prematurely because "I'm about to go into full-body cramp."
Golden would have surely felt worse if not for Morris.
"What can you say about Stephen?" Golden said. "He's playing really well right now and growing up before our eyes."
The victory gave UM its first three-game win streak since 2009 and set up a showdown Saturday in Chicago against No. 10 Notre Dame (4-0). The Hurricanes will face the Irish in the regular season for the first time since 1990. The teams played in the 2010 Sun Bowl in El Paso Texas with Notre Dame winning easily, 33-17.
"I've been ready for this game since my freshman year," said Morris, a junior. "It means a lot to this program."
