Scientists look to magnesium for better electric vehicle batteries
Lithium has been the backbone of electric vehicle (EV) batteries for some time now. But scientists are now looking to magnesium – touted to be a better replacement for lithium – to power the EVs of tomorrow. However, there are certain issues with using magnesium for EV batteries, so scientists are working to overcome these roadblocks. One […]

New study claims electric vehicles pollute less than fossil fuel cars, but their batteries are another story
Many countries worldwide have promoted electric vehicles (EVs) as less-polluting versions of gasoline-powered cars. Alongside this, many studies have also emerged that said EVs actually produce more pollution. However, a new paper defending EVs said they emit far less emissions than traditional vehicles. The July 2021 paper from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) […]

“Holy grail” electric vehicle battery takes design cues from BLT sandwich
A bacon, lettuce and tomato (BLT) sandwich is a good solution for hunger. Interestingly, scientists have also looked to this sandwich to solve a common issue with electric vehicle (EV) batteries. A lithium metal battery whose design is inspired by the sandwich addressed needle-like growths that undermine battery performance. Scientists also touted the lithium metal […]

Shipping industry turns its eyes to hydrogen to replace carbon-rich bunker fuel
The shipping industry produces about three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to carbon dioxide-rich bunker fuel. However, the recent push toward zero emissions has prompted shipping lines to look for greener alternatives to power their vessels. Industry experts have eyed hydrogen as a response to this challenge. Currently, hydrogen-powered vessels are used mainly […]

Breakthrough (and scary) technology allows scientists to collect DNA from the air
A breakthrough technology allows scientists to obtain DNA samples from the air. The new technology collects environmental DNA (eDNA) shed by animals and humans for identification. Previously used to study fish, animals and invasive species, eDNA now shows promise in fields such as infectious disease epidemiology and forensics. Prior to the study, eDNA had been […]

Researchers look into developing periodic tables for molecules
A research team from the Tokyo University of Technology (Tokyo Tech) has proposed a “periodic table” for molecules with different geometrical symmetries. The team’s study, published in Nature Communications, introduces a new approach that’s based on keen observation of the behavior of valence electrons. Valence electrons are found in the outer shell of atoms, and they […]
