As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, scientists see great potential in lithium-sulfur batteries as a more environmentally friendly way to power them. This is because they don’t rely on the same expensive and difficult-to-source raw mate… Continue reading Rare form of sulfur offers a key to triple-capacity EV batteries
Scientists have developed a new type of supercapacitor with the kind of flexibility and durability needed to feature in footwear and clothing, along with other devices making up the Internet of Things. The advance stems from a novel manufacturing metho… Continue reading Wafer-thin supercapacitor stays strong when bent out of shape
As our cells interact with neighboring cells or surrounding material known as the extracellular matrix, they are subjected to subtle mechanical stresses that can influence their behavior. Part of this includes heightened proliferation and tissue growth… Continue reading Manipulating “molecular Velcro” may stop tumors in their tracks
In 1991, scientists working on a pioneering energy facility made a a momentous breakthrough, achieving the controlled release of nuclear fusion power for the first time. In 1997, the Joint European Torus (JET) tokamak reactor was then used to set an en… Continue reading Landmark experiments smash energy record for nuclear fusion
