New materials could enable longer-lasting implantable batteries

Time-lapse series of images shows the new type of battery becoming fully discharged over a period of days. In the process of discharging, the new "catholyte" material in the battery cell gets chemically coverted into a reddish compound, so the color gets darker the more it discharges.

Ocean microbes get their diet through a surprising mix of sources, study fi...

Long thought to rely solely on photosynthesis, the microbe Prochlorococcus may get as much as one-third of its carbon through a second strategy: consuming the dissolved remains of other dead microbes.

Methane research takes on new urgency at MIT

“The goal of MIT Methane Network is to reduce methane emissions by 45 percent by 2030, which would save up to 0.5 degree C of warming by 2100,” says Associate Professor Desiree Plata. “When you consider that governments are trying for a 1.5-degree reduction of all GHGs by 2100, this is a big deal.”

Machine learning facilitates “turbulence tracking” in fusion reactors

A team of researchers has demonstrated the use of computer vision models to monitor turbulent structures, known as "blobs," that appear on the edge of the super-hot fuel used in controlled-nuclear-fusion research. The super-hot fuel, or plasma, is held inside a tokamak device (right photo). On the left, a "blob" highlighted in yellow is shown in a synthetic image.
