An interesting thing about lithium-ion batteries is how tiny oxygen holes can boost power. Imagine something really small—that's an oxygen vacancy. These vacancies are missing oxygen atoms in a material. When researchers looked closely at a material called Cu2Nb34O87-x/N-doped carbon composite, they
Years before we are born, tiny changes can happen while we grow in the womb. Some of these changes are small and may not be noticed. They may even cause only minor trouble. Others can lead to major problems with how we eat and how we talk. This also includes how our teeth come in
Ever wondered why your battery doesn't last as long as you'd like? One big reason is the way lithium metal anodes behave during operation. These anodes can change a lot in size and shape, which can cause big problems like dendrites. Imagine dendrite formation like the growth of tiny lithium
The quality of care in control arms of clinical trials is a big deal. In the medical world, patients in control groups should get the best standard treatment. This is even more true when testing new treatments. Problems have been found in some trials for cancer treatments. This is where things s
Nepal has rules for health research. They have to get approval from the Nepal Health Research Council before they start a study with humans. This is to keep people safe and make sure the study is good. Scientists must be given permission to publish their results. The first step is for t
There's a sneaky skin issue lurking in warm climates. It's called cutaneuous larva migrants. It's caused by a type of worm (hookworm) that lives in the soil. When folks walk barefoot or hang out in sandy places, these tiny worms can burrow into human skin. This creepy infection is more common in tro
Imagine tiny particles of lithium, each with a slightly different atomic weight, zipping around in a chaotic dance. These tiny particles are isotopes: 6Li and 7Li. They're crucial in fields like energy and defense. As nuclear technology advances, the need for these isotopes will only grow. However,
The Super Bowl brings together millions of people. Football and its Super Bowl games are one of the year's most watched events. Here is one part that gets more attention than the match itself: the advertisements. This notion may surprise non-football fans. Could these ads also cause a stir in t
Imagine a country where every year, thousands of women face a dangerous situation. It isn't a war zone; it is Ethiopia. A baby is born every 33 months. When it is less, it is considered too close or short. This puts the mother at a higher risk of complications. In many countries this isn't a big pro
Ethiopia's dedication to boosting child health is something it is known for, but when it comes to breastfeeding it's not always clear how things are evolving. For a long time, information about breastfeeding trends and how policies affect these trends stayed scattered about. People didn't k
