A solid-state transformation in oxygen that physicists had long thought might occur has finally been observed. Oxygen is a highly magnetic molecular solid at low temperatures, but physicists had for ...

For more than a quarter century, scientists have been trying to determine the structure of a particular form of solid oxygen. X-ray analysis of the substance under high pressure now indicates that ...

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries depend on the movement of ions (charged atoms) in the solid, rather than liquid, state to either charge or discharge the battery. These solid-state electrolytes are ...

Neutron stars are some of the most extreme phenomena in the entire universe, and new discoveries about these dense stellar corpses continue to surprise scientists. Astronomers recently announced the ...

The catastrophic issue, which was alluded to at the start of November, is said to have happened during the fuelling procedures. “I think we’ve gotten to the bottom of the problem,” Musk told the ...

A gel-type material has been developed that extends the lifespan of 'high-voltage batteries' for long-range electric vehicles while reducing the risk ...

A new kind of lithium-oxygen battery, using glass nanoparticles of lithium oxides, could provide more energy, and much better stability and energy efficiency, report scientists. Lithium-air batteries ...
