A new study led by Dr. Xuekun Lu from Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with an international team of researchers from the UK and USA has found a way to prevent lithium plating in electric vehicle batteries, which could lead to faster charging times.

Three University of California, Irvine researchers will receive more than $8 million in climate action grants to support projects that will help advance progress toward California's climate goals.

A breakthrough technique that expedites the creation of catalysts for lithium-CO2 (Li-CO2) batteries could soon lead to the production of affordable, effective batteries that can also absorb toxic pollutants.

In 2021, nearly a quarter of the world's carbon dioxide emissions came from the transportation sector, with aviation being a significant contributor.

A new chapter has begun in the maritime industry, as leaders from across the field have collaborated to reshape the future of commercial shipping.

The explosion of renewable energy projects around the globe is leading to a saturation problem.

Minerals and metals are the backbone of major industries, including energy, construction, mobility and electronics.

Analyzing a catalyst while it does its job in a chemical reaction is no easy task. Instead, researchers often rely on "post-mortem" analyses, comparing the catalyst before and after a reaction and piecing together what happened to it.

Plants could be the solution to the impending threat of microplastic pollution. Researchers at UBC’s BioProducts Institute discovered that adding tannins—natural plant compounds that cause the mouth to pucker when they bite into an unripe fruit—to a layer of wood dust can create a filter that traps nearly all microplastic particles in water.

Aloe barbadensis, commonly known as aloe vera, has been used for thousands of years to treat skin ailments, promote digestive health and heal wounds.
