A novel thermoacidophilic iron and sulfur-oxidizing archaeon, strain YN25, was isolated from an in situ enriched acid hot spring sample collected in Yunnan, China. Cells were irregular cocci, about ...
Sulfur applied to sugarcane crops in South Florida is flowing into wetlands upgradient of Everglades National Park, triggering a chemical reaction that converts mercury into toxic methylmercury, which ...
When could an eruption occur and what to expect Mount Spurr, the volcano covered in ice and snow, is located 80 miles northwest of Anchorage and stands at 11,070 feet tall. It’s got two vents ...
An active volcano near Alaska's most populated city could be on the brink of eruption, according to scientists who are constantly monitoring a potential threat. Signs of unrest at Mount Spurr ...
Sulfur is an effective remedy for acne. It exfoliates, unclogs pores, balances oil production, reduces breakouts, and minimizes inflammation. Here's what to know about using it for your skin. , ...
But this week, researchers described a lithium-sulfur battery that still has over 80 percent of its original capacity after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. All it took was a solid electrolyte that ...
Despite lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries having been conceptualized in the 1960s, practical applications were limited due to issues like poor life cycles and capacity loss from something called ...
Lithium-sulfur batteries are a promising candidate for high-performance energy storage applications due to their low cost and high theoretical energy density of more than 500 Wh/kg when coupled ...
A new study shines a spotlight on sulfur, a chemical element that, while all familiar, has proved surprisingly resistant to scientific efforts in probing its role in the origin of life.
Lyten’s lithium-sulfur batteries could cut both weight and cost—if they can last. The key to building less-expensive batteries that could extend the range of EVs might lie in a cheap, abundant ...
