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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) is an important intermediate in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle, and it accumulates at sediment surfaces under the sea floor (including in cold seeps and hydrothermal vents).

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 ...

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, ...

Scientists have discovered that even among the sulfur-cycling microbes that are responsible for the 'rotten egg gas' smell in salt marsh air, diversity extends all the way to genomes and even to ...
