Study: Nature-imitating coating makes batteries more durable and efficient
When batteries are charged and used, a complex SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) layer is formed. Its structure resembles a mosaic consisting of organic and inorganic parts assembled from several blocks.
Researchers have noticed that if...
Study: 300-million-year-old fish resembles a sturgeon but took a different evolutionary path Tanyrhinichthys mcallisteri...
Sturgeon, a long-lived, bottom-dwelling fish, are often described as "living fossils," owing to the fact that their form has remained relatively constant, despite hundreds of millions of years of evolution.
In a new study in...
Study: Income, race are associated with disparities in access to green spaces
Access to green spaces in metro areas--parks, trails, even the tree cover in a neighborhood - is largely associated with income and race, new research indicates.
Researchers combined census-block-group demographic and socio-economic data with satellite...
Researchers provide new explanation for the far side of the Moon’s strange asymmetry
The Earth‐Moon system's history remains mysterious. Scientists believe the two formed when a Mars‐sized body collided with the proto‐Earth. Earth ended up being the larger daughter of this collision and retained enough heat to...
Study: Preventing lithium loss for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries
A team of Korean researchers has developed a processing technology for maximizing energy densities of high-capacity batteries. The joint research team, which consists of Dr. Lee, Minah of the Center for Energy Storage Research...
Study: Fantastic muscle proteins and where to find them
Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) developed a mouse model that enables them to look inside a working muscle and identify the proteins that allow the...
Study: Is teleportation possible? Yes, in the quantum world
"Beam me up" is one of the most famous catchphrases from the Star Trek series. It is the command issued when a character wishes to teleport from a remote location back to the Starship...
Study: Protecting natural forest in oil palm plantations crucial for conservation
Forest conservation areas in oil palm plantations play a vital role in storing carbon and boosting rainforest biodiversity, a new study on palm oil agriculture in Borneo has revealed.
The study, led by the University...
