4+ day, 4+ hour ago   (1002+ words) The distribution of lithium isotopes 6 and 7 in a cell leaves a characteristic fingerprint and can serve as a diagnostic tool for aging processes. Lithium-ion batteries are a key technology for the energy transition. Despite continuous advances in performance and lifespan,…...

6+ day, 4+ hour ago   (1262+ words) The method, described in a new study published in Science, uses a process called methane pyrolysis, which breaks methane down into hydrogen gas and solid carbon rather than the gaseous CO2 released by conventional hydrogen production. “Today we take natural gas…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (1170+ words) Batteries and fuel cells will dominate in the future – “e-fuels” will only play a very minor role These processes occur simultaneously at the microscale, making their individual effects difficult to distinguish experimentally. Existing computational models have also relied mainly on…...
