Lithium-ion Batteries Charge Fast and Perform Better with a New Discovery

Researchers established the reason for battery’s instability and also a way to combat it With recent research from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute published in Nature Communications, it is now possible to create a lithium-ion battery that can charge in a matter of minutes and still operate at a high capacity.

Generating Electricity from Snowfall

A device that can work in remote areas, generates power, predicts weather station, rate, and direction of the snow and wind.

Recently Known Ways Insects and Bacteria Control Ice

Major proteins formed in bacteria and insects can either inhibit or promote the formation of ice Against the popular belief or what people might have been taught, water doesn't freeze to the ice at 32 degrees F (zero degrees C).

Singapore and Australian Scientists Build a Machine to See All Possible Futures

In the 2018 movie Infinity War, a scene featured Dr. Strange looking into 14 million possible futures to search for a single timeline where the heroes would be victorious. Perhaps he would have had an easier time with help from a quantum computer. A team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Griffith University in Australia has constructed a prototype quantum device that can generate all possible futures in a simultaneous quantum superposition.

Water That Never Freezes

Making ice cubes is a simple process: you take a plastic ice-cube tray like you'd find in most households, fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Before long, the water crystallizes and turns to ice.

The Star that Astronomers Say “Should Not Exist”

A very old star is found, and its contents are a bit weird. In the halo of the Milky Way, a tiny, ancient star called J0023+0307 drifts about. It's very old indeed, which isn't uncommon for stars in the halo-but it contains no detectable carbon, which is rather unusual.

The Sun’s Rain is Shining Light on Solar Mysteries

Scientists examine the Sun’s rain and its changing scientific theory. On Earth, rain is just one part of the larger water cycle; it begins when water collected on the planet's surface is heated by the Sun.
