The science pros at TKOR test what happens when playing with sodium metal, showing explosive reactions, chemistry, and extreme caution.

New research published in Joule from the Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA), University of Chicago Pritzker School of ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation ...

Layered transition-metal oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, conventional designs rely on ...

Up to now, it has only been possible to deduce indirectly why high-temperature batteries lose efficiency and durability while ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation battery materials down to ...

Cars' engines have to resist tremendous pressure and heat up to 3,000 degrees. So what in the world is a soft, explosive metal doing in their exhaust valves?

Correction: at 12:50 I said that pure nitrogen is denser than air, but that isn't true. The specific gravity of nitrogen vs dry air at STP is ~0.97, meaning that it should rise slightly, but the ...

SMRs work the same way as a full-sized nuclear power plant does, but on a smaller scale. They generate less power as a rule ...

If you have a favorite mug that's been tinted with tea or coffee, denture tablets may be able to lighten or even remove these ...

Researchers have developed a new method to transform two major waste streams, discarded mobile phone batteries and industrial lignin, into a promising ...
