Calcium is about 2,500 times as abundant as lithium in nature, making the calcium-ion energy storage technology a promising candidate for next-generation batteries.
What's a force of destruction for some can be a force of creation for others.
The Tyrannosaurus rex, the most feared and iconic of all the dinosaurs, had a cooling system in its skull that allowed him to deal with prehistoric heat and humidity. The new study from scientists in Missouri, Ohio, and Florida, challenges previous beliefs about this cranial structure. T. rex, known as one of the largest meat-eating […]
