New Carbon-Titanium Composite Dramatically Improves Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Researchers in South Korea have developed a carbon-titanium composite that significantly enhances the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. By embedding titanium monoxide nanoparticles into nitrogen-doped porous carbon, the team created a honeycomb electrode that improves conductivity, stabilizes sulfur, and prevents energy-sapping chemical loss...

A Nearby Planet May Have Formed the Moon Following a Collision With Early Earth: Study
A new analysis of Apollo samples and Earth rocks suggests that a nearby rocky planet, not a distant object, collided with early Earth and formed the moon. The study argues that this lost planet, Theia, originated in the inner solar system and shared Earth’s early neighbourhood, offering fresh insight into one of the most important events in our p...

Polar Bear Fur's Natural Oil Prevents Ice Build-Up, Study Finds
Scientists have uncovered a surprising feature of polar bear fur: a natural oil that prevents ice accumulation. Unlike penguins, which rely on feather structure, polar bears benefit from a chemical composition that keeps their fur ice-free. A study published in Science Advances found that unwashed polar bear fur performed as well as high-performanc...

AI Predicts Whisky Aromas and Origins with Over 90 Percent Accuracy
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging have successfully demonstrated how AI can identify the aromas and origins of whiskies with remarkable accuracy. By analysing the chemical compositions of 16 US and Scottish whiskies, the AI achieved over 90% accuracy in distinguishing between the two, surpassing human exp...

New Study Challenges Planet Formation Models with PDS 70b’s Chemical Mystery
A new study on PDS 70b, a forming exoplanet located 400 light-years away, reveals a significant mismatch between its atmospheric composition and the surrounding protoplanetary disk. This discovery casts doubt on existing planet formation models, suggesting that more research is needed to understand how planets gather materials and elements during t...

Data From Black Beauty Martian Meteorite May Shed Light on Mars' History
A team of researchers from Australia's Curtin University studied the chemical and physical properties of the Black Beauty meteorite to determine the location of its origin on Mars. The chemical composition of Black Beauty suggested that Mars also had volcanic activity like Earth. The team concluded that the meteorite originated from one of the olde...

Sun Has More Oxygen and Metals, States New Study Its Chemical Composition
Astronomers have solved a decade-long conflict between the Sun's internal structure as determined by solar oscillations (helioseismology) and the structure derived from the fundamental theory of stellar evolution, which is based on measurements of the present-day Sun's chemical composition. The new estimates put an end to a decade-long debate conce...
