Over time, batteries break down. Studying this process in-depth with imaging techniques may help us improve the lifespan of batteries.

Tohoku University researchers are breaking limits by increasing the temperature multiferroics can operate at, from room temperature up to a blistering 160℃

New filter removes chemical contaminants from water even at very low concentrations

A re-analysis of early gas storage materials shows that they could adjust their shape to hold more gas, a property generally associated with newer, more advanced materials

Glass is a fundamental material. Yet its atomic structure still baffles scientists to this day. Researchers have developed a new way to quantify ring shapes in chemically bonded networks of glass, chipping away at some of the mysteries behind glass’s atomic structure.

In baseball, even the smallest detail can tip the scales in favor of the batter or the pitcher. A recent publication has highlighted how rosin powder helps maintain a more constant friction when pitching, something that could bring about a fairer playing field in Major League Baseball.
