Next-generation batteries could take on many forms, but one design that scientists are pinning a lot of hope on involves the use of lithium metal. The excellent energy density of this material could see batteries power smartphones for days at a time, a… Continue reading Magnetically stirred electrolyte puts high-density batteries in the mix
Much of the millions of metric tons of plastic waste that washes into the sea each year is broken down into tiny fragments by the forces of the ocean, and researchers are beginning to piece together what this means for organisms that consume them. Scie… Continue reading Mouse study shows microplastics infiltrate blood brain barrier
With so much we are yet to understand about how Alzheimer’s develops, scientists are coming at the problem from all kinds of angles. This includes exploring the disease’s relationship with our metabolism and our microbiome, and developing blood tests that could pick it up in its early stages. Scientists in South Korea have identified another pathway, and are reporting some promising results around an early diagnostic method that involves detecting biomarkers in nasal discharge.
