New Stanford Battery Shuts Down at High Temperatures and Restarts When it Cools

The new technology could prevent the kind of fires that have prompted recalls and bans on a wide range of battery-powered devices, from recliners and computers to navigation systems and hoverboards.

Researchers’ Metallic Glue May Stick it to Soldering and Welding

With Department of Energy Office of Science funding, researchers at Northeastern University have developed a glue that binds metal to metal to glass to you-name-it, sets at room temperature, and requires little pressure to seal.

Now You See It, Now You Don't: The Quasar That Just Disappeared

Researchers at Penn State, working with the international Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) team, found - by comparing spectrums taken in 2003 and again in 2015 - that a quasar produced by a supermassive black hole has disappeared.

IU Scientists Create 'Nano-Reactor' for the Production of Hydrogen Biofuel

Scientists at Indiana University have created a highly efficient biomaterial that catalyzes the formation of hydrogen -- one half of the "holy grail" of splitting H2O to make hydrogen and oxygen for fueling cheap and efficient cars that run on water.
