Batteries: passivation layer mystery solved

KIT researchers characterized chemical processes at the electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. In our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable. They function only because of a passivation layer that forms…

Smart light traps

Synthesis gas and battery power from sunlight energy. Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have applied this principle as…

Imaging the proton with neutrinos

The MINERvA experiment in the NuMI beam at Fermilab has made the first accurate image of the proton using neutrinos instead of light as the probe. The Science Protons and…

Uracil found in Ryugu samples

Samples from the asteroid Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 mission contain nitrogenous organic compounds, including the nucleobase uracil, which is a part of RNA. Researchers have analyzed samples of asteroid…

Surprise in the quantum world

Disorder leads to ferromagnetic topological insulator. Magnetic topological insulators are an exotic class of materials that conduct electrons without any resistance at all and so are regarded as a promising…

Pigs as Organ Donors

New Findings on the Prevention of Retrovirus Infections. Intensive research is being carried out to enable the transplantation of organs from specially bred pigs to humans. However, the pig genome…
