The hybrid sulfur cycle, integrating thermal and electrochemical processes, has emerged as a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production with minimal carbon emissions. At its core, the process ...

Lithium sulfur batteries are often touted as the next major chemistry for electric vehicle applications, if only their cycle life wasn’t so short. But that might be changing soon, as a group of ...

Geochemist Alexandra Phillips has sulfur on her mind. The yellow element is a vital macronutrient, and she’s trying to understand how it cycles through the environment. Specifically, she’s curious ...

The Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation (717~660 million years ago) represents the most severe icehouse climate in Earth's history. Geological evidence indicates that, during this glaciation, ice ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. A study into Lake Superior has revealed a 3 billion-year-old secret about planet Earth. Researchers at the University of ...

Nutrient cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur cycles are critical processes that free up elements essential to life by recycling them through our water, air, and soil. Sulfur, ...

Researchers in China have developed a new catalyst that helped a lithium-sulfur battery retain ...

Among the many different battery chemistries promising a big jump in the capacity, lifetime and cost of energy storage, lithium-sulfur stands out for its potential for strong performance without ...

An international research team was able to experimentally show in the laboratory a completely new reaction path for the largest natural sulfur source in the atmosphere. The team is now reporting on ...

Researchers have discovered a new compound that helps us better understand how microbes keep the sulfur cycle turning, making it possible for us to enjoy ocean views and survive near the water. Now, ...
