Discovery could boost solid-state battery performance

An emerging technology to make lithium-ion batteries safer and more powerful involves using solid rather than liquid electrolytes, the materials that make it possible for ions to move through the device to generate power. A team of University of Texas at Dallas researchers and their colleagues have discovered that the…

Researchers use deep learning to predict flooding this hurricane season

The 2025 hurricane season officially begins on June 1, and it’s forecast to be more active than ever, with potentially devastating storms whose heavy rainfall and powerful storm surges cause dangerous coastal flooding. Extreme water levels — like the 15 feet of flooding Floridians saw during Hurricane Helene in 2024…

New laser smaller than a penny can measure objects at ultrafast rates

Researchers from the University of Rochester and University of California, Santa Barbara, engineered a laser device smaller than a penny that they say could power everything from the LiDAR systems used in self-driving vehicles to gravitational wave detection, one of the most delicate experiments in existence to observe and understand…

Insect protein blocks bacterial infection

A protein that gives fleas their bounce has been used to boot out bacteria cells, with lab results demonstrating the material’s potential for preventing medical implant infection. The collaborative study led by researchers at RMIT University in Australia is the first reported use of antibacterial coatings made from resilin-mimetic proteins…

Human-caused dust events are linked to fallow farmland

An average of more than 1 million acres of idled farmland a year is a significant contributor to a growing dust problem in California that has implications for millions of residents’ health and the state’s climate. A new study published in Communications Earth and Environment by UC Merced professors Adeyemi…

Research shows how solar arrays can aid grasslands during drought

New research from Colorado State University and Cornell University shows that the presence of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands may reduce water stress, improve soil moisture levels and — particularly during dry years — increase plant growth by about 20% or more compared to open fields. The findings were published…
