18+ hour, 46+ min ago A solvent-free milling process inserts nitrogen into graphene while keeping it conductive and stable in common solvents. Graphene has dazzled scientists for years with its extreme strength, thinness, and ability to carry electrical current with almost no resistance. However, outside…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago The breakthrough wasn't speed or scale, but a neural architecture that finally respected protein geometry. Artificial intelligence isn't just changing how we search the web or generate images. It is reshaping how scientists approach one of biology's oldest problems: the…...

1+ day, 19+ hour ago The system showed no corrosion of electrodes, membranes or current collectors. Scientists in China have recently unveiled a new bromine-based flow battery that that could store more energy, last longer and cost less to operate compared with conventional battery designs....

1+ day, 21+ hour ago Between 2021 and 2023, researchers utilized three successive eruptions of Iceland's Fagradalsfjall volcano as a living laboratory. Whether it is a forest regrowing from the ashes or a new island being colonized by the wind and rain, nature operates on a clock…...

2+ day, 11+ hour ago Scientists from the University of Oxford and partner institutions have created a new class of organic materials called state-independent electrolytes (SIEs)." This discovery challenges a fundamental rule of electrochemistry: that ions move much more slowly when a liquid solidifies. Interestingly,…...

2+ day, 18+ hour ago Tests confirmed that sodium insertion is naturally faster than lithium insertion for this electrode type. Researchers at the Tokyo University of Science have experimentally demonstrated that sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) possess a higher intrinsic charging speed than standard lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)....

3+ day, 15+ hour ago The new cathode design suppresses c-collapse without lowering energy capacity. An international team of researchers has found a way to extend the lifespan of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries by suppressing a damaging structural failure in nickel-rich (Ni-rich) cathodes known as c-collapse....

5+ day, 14+ hour ago For renewable energy technologies like fuel cell and electrolyzers, scientists are looking for cost effective proton carriers. A new physical model developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) helps improve predictions of proton mobility across a wide…...

5+ day, 15+ hour ago The study reveals why tin oxide ozone catalysts fail under high-voltage operation. US scientists have taken a major step towards supplying hospitals and treatment facilities with safer chlorine-free water disinfection by identifying why promising ozone-generating catalysts degrade over time. The…...

5+ day, 16+ hour ago New research explains how ferrihydrite locks carbon in soils using a mix of surface charges and chemical bonds. Carbon doesn't just vanish into the ground; it gets chemically captured. Scientists have long known that iron-rich soils quietly lock away vast…...
