Scientists Develop Two-Level Strategy to Power Next-Gen Lithium–Sulphur Batteries
Researchers at Chung-Ang University have developed a dual-level engineering strategy combining porous carbon nanofibers and cobalt single-atom catalysts. The design enhances redox reactions, reduces material loss, and improves the lifespan of lithium–sulfur batteries, offering major benefits for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...
