But a team of Chinese researchers has managed to turn sulfur’s complex chemistry into a strength, making it the primary ...

Due to our ever-increasing reliance on electronics, researchers are always on the lookout for battery materials with more ...

Thinner lithium sulfur batteries may be closer thanks to a foamed, protein-based binder that forms microchannels inside the ...

When we talk about emissions these days, we typically talk about cutting them back for the good of the environment. However, the climate system is a complex beast, and one we’re still learning to ...

Nitrogen is the foundation of high corn yields. But the nitrogen you apply might be wasted if your soil lacks sulfur, a critical micronutrient that helps plants metabolize nitrogen. “Sulfur ...

Life on Earth began in a world of volcanic eruptions, violent storms, and a toxic atmosphere. Yet somehow, from this chaos, ...

An international team of scientists eyeing next-generation energy storage solutions have demonstrated an eco-friendly and low-cost battery with some exciting potential. The group’s novel sodium-sulfur ...

A new paper out today in Nature Geoscience identifies fertilizer and pesticide applications to croplands as the largest source of sulfur in the environment—up to 10 times higher than the peak sulfur ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged ...

Looming 2,799 m (9,183 ft.) above sea level, Gunung Ijen in Indonesia’s eastern Java is a volcanic wonder that attract hundreds of foreign and domestic tourists daily. During daytime, they climb the ...
