New Electrode Design May Lead to More Powerful Batteries
New research by engineers at MIT and elsewhere could lead to batteries that can pack more power per pound and last longer, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as one of the battery’s two electrodes, the anode.
Agricultural Area Residents in Danger of Inhaling Toxic Aerosols
Excess selenium from fertilizers and other natural sources can create air pollution that could lead to lung cancer, asthma, and Type 2 diabetes, according to new UC Riverside research.
Study Finds Link Between Flu Risk and Wild Weather Swings
Scientists have found a link between a heightened risk of flu and rapid weather swings that have become increasingly common in recent years due to climate change.
As Our Planet Gets Greener, Plants Are Slowing Global Warming
Chi Chen, a Boston University graduate researcher, and Ranga Myneni, a BU College of Arts & Sciences professor of earth and environment, are authors on a new paper that reveals how humans are helping to increase the Earth’s plant and tree cover, which absorbs carbon from the atmosphere and cools our planet.
Climate Change Affects Soil Health
Researchers at the universities of Kassel and Bonn show that soil pathogens spread after heat and drought stress.
