Drexel University researchers, along with colleagues at Aix-Marseille University in France, have discovered a high performance cathode material with great promise for use in next generation lithium-sulfur batteries that could one day be used to power mobile devices and electric cars.

Findings on patent-pending HER catalyst Ni5P4 reported in Royal Society of Chemistry's Energy & Environmental Science; operating stability and efficiency to be tested over extended time periods in commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells.

By constructing the first fine-scale map of the British Isles, Oxford University researchers have uncovered distinct geographical groupings of genetically similar individuals across the UK.  

Antibiotic resistance is a catastrophic threat –and it threatens the achievements of modern medicine

A recently-released report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory committee on safety underlined a flawed understanding of safety and poor leadership as key reasons for safety lapses at CDC laboratories.

Popular beverage could have an application in the medical imaging world.

Movies like "Happy Feet" and "March of the Penguins" often remind us of how cute penguins are in the cold, Antarctic conditions where they live. These movies, however, fail to mention another species of penguin that reside in warmer climates and is slowly dying out: African penguins. Although they are on track to be extinct within the next 20 years, the Pueblo Zoo in Colorado and Colorado State University, Fort Collins recently performed cancer treatments on the oldest living African penguin in the world, ensuring that the penguin will be healthy enough to live a longer life.

Berkeley Lab researchers find way to improve the cost-effectiveness through the use of MOFs.

Graphene, a strong, lightweight carbon honeycombed structure that’s only one atom thick, holds great promise for energy research and development.  Recently scientists with the Fluid Interface Reactions, Structures, and Transport (FIRST) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC), led by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, revealed graphene can serve as a proton-selective permeable membrane, providing a new basis for streamlined and more efficient energy technologies such as improved fuel cells.

Plastic products advertised as biodegradable have recently emerged, but they sound almost too good to be true.

A step in understanding how microbes infect target cells.

Whether you're baking bread or building an organism, the key to success is consistently adding ingredients in the correct order and in the right amounts, according to a new genetic study by University of Michigan researchers.
