Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...
Alternative anodes such as Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ offer improved safety, but their low theoretical capacity severely constrains energy ...
Scientists confirm a toxic red pigment in a 2,000-year-old Scythian grave, offering new insight into ancient burial rituals ...
By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...
A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering ...
Around 5,000 years ago, people in what is now Iran began turning dull stone into shining metal. By heating copper ore until ...
Improving the capacitance of supercapacitors requires gaining control over ion behavior inside carbon nanopores. This study ...
This is the last entry — at least for this year — in my series on batteries. Batteries are the missing link to total off-grid ...
Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of most stars and many planets, including Earth. It also plays a role in the ...
Water can be liquid at temperatures far below freezing under several conditions; perhaps the most surprising is as a thin layer on the surface of ice. The discovery of this fact dates at least to 1859 ...
Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...
