Next generation anode to improve lithium-ion batteries
more »
Researchers have created a new silicon-tin nanocomposite anode that could lead to lithium-ion batteries that can be charged and discharged more times before they reach the end of their useful lives. The longer-lasting batteries could be used in everything from handheld electronic devices to electric vehicles.

Most likely 'second-Earth' candidates now cataloged
more »
An international team of researchers has pinpointed which of the more than 4,000 exoplanets discovered by NASA's Kepler mission are most likely to be similar to Earth. The research outlines 216 Kepler planets located within the 'habitable zone' -- the area around a star in which a planet's surface could hold liquid water. Of those they list 20 that are the best candidates to be habitable rocky planets like Earth.

Laser nudges may help destroy space debris threatening communications, navigation on Earth
more »
Human-made debris from inactive satellites and obsolete space missions pose ongoing threats to active communication and navigation satellites -- and the humans on Earth who depend upon them. In a new article describes simulations showing a new way to use laser-induced energy in the weightlessness of space to nudge debris into the atmosphere where it will be destroyed.
