The lithium-ion battery has transformed the portable electronics industry and is making inroads into energy storage on the electric grid and electrically powered transportation.
In a new study, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne and Brookhaven National Laboratories observed the formation of two kinds of defects in individual nanowires, which are smaller in diameter than a human hair.
In less than one month, over a hundred college students from across the United States will convene in one of the largest cyber defense competitions in the nation.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are some of the most significant pollutants in our atmosphere — they contribute to the formation of smog, acid rain and ground-level ozone.
