1+ day, 4+ hour ago   (770+ words) Iowa State's Steve W. Martin is leading an effort to develop new battery technology that uses and adds value to Iowa resources. Researchers also want to scale up the new batteries for industrial uses. Newswise " AMES, Iowa " Steve W. Martin, who has…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (425+ words) [Newswise image]Large language models (LLMs) have become central tools in writing, coding, and problem-solving, yet their rapidly expanding use raises new ethical and security concerns. The study systematically reviewed 73 papers and found that LLMs possess dual roles--empowering innovation…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (429+ words) [Newswise image]Lithium metal batteries hold potential for next-generation energy storage, but interfacial instability limits their long-term performance. This study shows how combining LiDFOB and LiPF" in a dual-salt electrolyte can regulate electrode-electrolyte interphase (EEI) at both cathode and anode....

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (435+ words) [Newswise image]High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries are essential for next-generation electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, Li-rich cathodes often underperform due to sluggish lithium reinsertion and irreversible capacity loss. New Kinetic-Tuning Strategy Unlocks Near-Theoretical Capacity of Li-rich Cathodes for Li-ion…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (274+ words) [Newswise image]An engineering team at Jiangxi Normal University, in collaboration with South China University of Technology, reports an entropy-driven strategy to construct low-topology-entropy silicone elastomers (LTE-SEs) in the journal Wearable Electronics. The materials achieve ultra-softness and ultra-high stretchability while…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (497+ words) [Newswise image]A "standard reference thermoelectric module (SRTEM)*" for objectively measuring thermoelectric module performance has been developed in Korea for the first time. A research team led by Dr. Sang Hyun Park at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER;…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (656+ words) [Newswise image]A new study introduces a simple molecular-engineering strategy that dramatically improves the reversibility of zinc plating and stripping in aqueous zinc batteries. By using methylurea as a low-cost electrolyte additive, researchers achieved in situ formation of a robust…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (347+ words) [Newswise image]Lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLOs) offer exceptionally high capacities but suffer rapid energy loss because of irreversible migration of transition-metal (TM) ions during cycling, triggering oxygen release and voltage decay. This study presents a breakthrough strategy: using trace dopants…...
