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 ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also doesn’t regulate sulfur like it does with nitrogen or phosphorus fertilizers. A call for local action. Sulfur contamination has been found in over 60% of ...

Those living in low-lying areas or downwind from the gas vents could experience increased levels of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. AVO stated on their website that Mount Spurr is likely to ...

A steaming snow-free fumarole field is visible on the north side of of the lake along with floating native sulfur on the lake surface. Matt Loewen/Alaska Volcano Observatory/U.S. Geological Survey ...

Sulfur (the naturally occurring element known for, ahm, that distinct scent) is also an age-old skincare ingredient. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties, it ...

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 ...

The sulfur in Li-S is in a solid state. Li-S batteries don't have flammable electrolytes like what you'd find in a typical Li-ion battery. It's often the electrolyte that causes battery fires.

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 ...

Some of our universe's sulfur is "missing in action," and astronomers may finally know why. Astronomers may have solved the mystery of why dead stars' death shrouds seem to lack sulfur, an element ...
