Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
2+ hour, 5+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Microbes Turn Renewable Electricity and CO2 Into Valuable Chemicals
2+ hour, 8+ min ago (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry. In a paper in the journal Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Chang…...
Discarded Lithium-Ion Batteries Brought Back to Life With Thermochemical
2+ hour, 42+ min ago (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...
Chemists Deploy Palladium to Switch Off and On a Key Amino Acid in Living
5+ hour, 44+ min ago (703+ words) Phenylalanine rarely gets top billing in discussions of molecular biology, yet this unassuming aromatic amino acid quietly underpins some of the most fundamental processes in the cell....
The Slow Drain: Tiny Electronic Currents Threaten Solid-State Battery
8+ hour, 6+ min ago (583+ words) Solid-state batteries have been heralded as the next great leap in energy storage, promising higher energy densities, improved safety and longer lifetimes than the lithium-ion cells that power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles....
Halogen Chemistry Lifts Sulfur Batteries to a Higher Voltage
10+ hour, 15+ min ago (623+ words) Lithium-sulfur batteries have spent decades promising an energy-storage revolution that never quite arrived. On paper, the chemistry is extraordinary: sulfur is abundant, cheap, and capable in principle of storing several times more energy per kilogram than the intercalation cathodes used…...
Paper bags and cardboard boxes normally headed for the trash were carbonized into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the resulting electrodes survived 1,200 charge cycles — roughly twice the durability of anodes used in current phone batteries
14+ hour, 17+ min ago (441+ words) By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 12, 2026 · How we edit A paper bag that carried someone’s lunch on Tuesday has a plausible future inside a phone. Researchers at NTU Singapore have worked out how to bake kraft paper, the brown…...
Blow-Spun PVDF–Clay Nanofiber Membranes Strip Lead and Copper From Water
10+ hour, 44+ min ago (714+ words) Heavy metal contamination of rivers, groundwater, and industrial effluents remains one of the most stubborn environmental problems of the modern era, and a new study from Brazilian researchers offers a fresh twist on an old idea: using polymer membranes to…...
Unlocking the Microscopic Origins of Dendrite Formation in Solid-State Batteries
20+ hour, 27+ min ago (378+ words) Lithium metal anodes offer a theoretical energy density nearly double that of conventional graphite anodes—454 Wh kg?¹ compared to 314 Wh kg?¹ at the cell level when paired with lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide cathode. Sep 12 2026 Lithium metal anodes offer a…...
Chemists forge chiral piperidine mimics in a single asymmetric leap
17+ hour, 55+ min ago (904+ words) Medicinal chemists have long chased a deceptively simple goal: build drug candidates that are less flat, more three-dimensional, and more likely to succeed in the clinic....
