A team of researchers at Duke University and their collaborators have uncovered the atomic mechanisms that make a class of compounds called argyrodites attractive candidates for both solid-state battery electrolytes and thermoelectric energy converters. The discoveries—and the machine learning approach used to make them—could help usher in a new era of energy storage for applications such as household battery walls and fast-charging electric vehicles.

Patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with metformin had a 30% reduction in risk for total knee and total hip replacement, compared with patients who did not receive the drug.

Among people who drank about two to four cups of coffee a day, with or without sugar, the rate of death was lower than among those who didnt drink the beverage.
