WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 20, 2023--

Sonos has released the Move 2, an updated version of its chunky speaker for the outdoors. The Move was released in September 2019, as Sonos’s first battery-operated and semi-portable speaker. It was joined later by the Sonos Roam, which comes in a much smaller and lighter form factor that is intended to be more easily carried around, and the Move has focused on uses such as carrying a speaker into the garden or moving it from room to room. Now Sonos has revealed an updated version of that Move, focusing largely on sound quality and its battery. It will cost $449, or the same in pounds – slightly more than the previous Move, which sold for $399 – and will be available on 20 September. The improvements to the sound bring what Sonos says is a “completely overhauled” design of the speakers. That allows for stereo sound and other improvements to the audio quality. The improvements to the battery double the playtime from the version of the Move, increasing it to up to 24 hours. It also includes a USB-C port that can send power out the other way: charging up a phone or other electronics, for instance. Audio can also go into the speaker through that input. After being largely resisted to adding line-in connections to its speakers, Sonos has recently brought USB-C inputs to its latest releases, though still requires customers to buy a line-in adapter separately. And it comes in a new olive colour, alongside the black and white of the original Sonos. That is matched with a new design on the user interface, first unveiled with Sonos’s recent Era speakers, which include a slider for volume control. Otherwise, the Move looks almost identical to its predecessor. It has the same level of water resistance and features WiFi and Bluetooth, though it has the option to bring two Moves together for stereo sound when they are connected to WiFi.

A battery breakthrough made by researchers in Japan could pave the way for next-generation batteries to finally enter mass production. A team from Tokyo University of Science discovered a way to build sodium-ion batteries with an equivalent performance to conventional lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion, or li-ion, batteries are found in everything from electric cars to smartphones, however they are made from difficult-to-extract and expensive resources, while also containing liquid electrolytes that are toxic and flammable. By contrast, sodium-ion batteries are cheaper, offer stability against extreme temperatures, and pose no risk of overheating. Until now, their main limitation has been a lower energy density compared to li-ion batteries. To overcome this limitation, the scientists developed a high-capacity electrode made from nanostructured hard carbon, which they were able to optimise and then incorporate into an actual battery. The researchers said the new electrodes deliver “unprecedented performance” and offer a viable option for producing next-generation batteries for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. “This value is equivalent to the energy density of certain types of currently commercialised lithium-ion batteries... and is more than 1.6 times the energy density of the first sodium-ion batteries, which our laboratory reported back in 2011,” said Professor Shinichi Komaba from Tokyo University of Science. The breakthrough could also make sodium-ion batteries viable for other practical applications, such as low carbon footprint energy storage systems for solar and wind farms. The research was detailed in a study, titled ‘New template synthesis of anomalously large capacity hard carbon for Na- and K-ion batteries’, published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials.
