Radiation slowly breaks down concrete in nuclear reactors, threatening their long-term safety. But new research reveals surprising properties—like self-healing crystals—that could change how we build and maintain these vital power plants.
Nickel is key to making safer electric vehicle batteries—but it’s also becoming scarce. Now, researchers have uncovered new insights into high-nickel cathodes that could unlock longer-lasting, safer EV batteries. How close are we to a breakthrough that could change the future of clean transportation?
