Researchers at Tokyo University of Science and Denso Corporation have discovered a groundbreaking pyrochlore-type oxyfluoride solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. This new material promises to revolutionize the industry with its non-flammable nature, high energy density, and exceptional ionic conductivity, stable in air and efficient across a wide temperature range.

A new approach to ammonia production that promises to revolutionize the industry and significantly reduce its environmental impact. By utilizing a unique electrochemical reaction involving lithium, nitrogen, and hydrogen atoms, the process achieves ammonia synthesis at low temperatures without the need for high energy inputs traditionally associated with ammonia production.

Researchers have revealed that although coral reefs are scattered across more than a million square kilometres in Seychelles, they are still closely related. By making use of genetic analyses and oceanographic modelling, researchers have demonstrated for the first time that a network of ocean currents scatter significant numbers of larvae between these distant islands, acting as a ‘coral superhighway.’

An electronic sock that detects an unhealthy walking style linked with diabetes and poor circulation shows promise for preventing foot ulcers and amputation. The novel research is set to benefit the many patients with diabetes who have clogged arteries in the legs.

New research from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and the University of Toronto in Canada, estimates up to eleven million tonnes of plastic pollution is sitting on the ocean floor.

Shimadzu’s new imscope QT imaging mass microscope is claimed to be the only instrument in the world that can obtain mass spectral data associated with morphological information.

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in “blue energy” technology by optimizing a wave-energy harvesting device, potentially paving the way for more efficient ocean wave energy conversion.

A team of international researchers, led by Ariadna Mechó of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, has uncovered up to 60 new marine species. This landmark discovery during a 40-day expedition reveals the rich biodiversity of this underexplored region, stretching from Chile to Rapa Nui.

Pet dogs and cats play an important role in the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, new research presented at the Escmid Global Congress in Barcelona, Spain (27-30 April) suggests.

Jennifer Acuff and her team at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture developed a food processing method that optimizes the preservation of vitamins, minerals, and flavor in low-moisture foods like powdered milk. This new framework allows the food industry to tailor safety standards within FDA guidelines, ensuring both consumer safety and product excellence.
