Hundreds gathered in Terry Schrunk Plaza in downtown Portland, Oregon with signs denouncing the violence that is now crushing the Gaza Strip’s over two million residents. At this storytelling rally, Palestinians who are so often rendered invisible in discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict spoke about their experiences of displacement. These centered on talking about how the forced expulsion of Palestinian Arabs in 1948 (known as the Nakba, or “disaster” in Arabic) affected them and thei
Cheng-Yao Lin is passionate about math. But for the mathematics education professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, it’s not just about learning and teaching math, it’s about helping people really “get” what math is and why it matters.
Novel Way to Boost the Performance of Solid-State Batteries
Written by AZoMMay 21 2021
Although solid-state batteries can pack plenty of energy into a compact space, their electrodes are not that good at making a contact with their electrolytes.

Liquid electrolytes spark energy by reaching all nooks and corners of an electrode, but liquids also tend to take up a lot of space without preserving energy and also fail in due time.
Now, scientists have identified a new way to allow solid electrolytes to make contact with electrodes that are composed of strategically arranged materials at the atomic level and the outcomes are supporting the drive toward more improved solid-state battery technologies.
