Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) emerge as a key option for next-generation electrochemical energy storage, thanks to abundant sodium resources, cost-effectiveness, and excellent low-temperature ...

One of the first chemical reactions thought to have occurred in the universe has long posed a conundrum, as it seemed the ancient cosmos was far too cold for it to take place. However, new modeling ...

What do magnets, smartphones and medical imaging devices have in common? They all depend on rare earth elements called lanthanides, which are vital for modern technology. Yet, separating these ...

A Japanese research team has unraveled the Venus flytrap's detailed mechanism to detect insects using its touch sensor. While humans have known for about 200 years that ...

Longer-lasting phones, lighter drones, electric cars that drive farther. These are just some of the possibilities thanks to a new battery separator design from University of Florida researchers and ...

As far as plants go, Venus flytraps are pretty hardcore. After attracting its prey with a fruity scent and trapping it inside its leaves, the flytrap slowly digests the insect for 5 to 12 days, ...

Corals, the foundation of ocean biodiversity, are threatened by climate change. But new research suggests that these organisms might be more resilient than previously thought.

A lithium-ion battery failure caused a Cambridge apartment fire that displaced four residents and caused $600K in damage, officials said.

The root of this prey-catching technique is a chemical ion channel named DmMSL10 that surrounds the base of a Venus fly trap’s sensory hairs. This membrane allows chemicals to pass through and is the ...

Molecular engineering of a zinc battery co-solvent improves plating stability, suppresses side reactions, and delivers near-perfect efficiency through a single functional group substitution.

DeWalt batteries should last you for quite a while, but what do you do if they give out? Rebuilding is technically an option, but it's not worth it.
