Carbonates
Marine organisms, particularly coral reefs, are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which can impair their ability to produce calcium carbonate. To counter this, researchers explored the potential of low-voltage electric stimulation to enhance calcification in species like Amphistegina lobifera, a type of marine foraminifera. Funded by the German

Researchers from Guilin University of Technology have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of marine science. A 878.22-m coral reef sequence from the Xisha Islands, South China Sea, has provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of coral reef karstification, a process that plays a crucial role in sea-air
Polymers
Researchers at Gauhati University in Assam, India, have made a significant breakthrough in the field of polymer materials by developing a simple and efficient method for synthesizing three phloroglucinol-amine covalent organic polymers (COPs) at room temperature. These COPs, namely PG-TETA, PG-DETA, and PG-EDA, demonstrate excellent catalytic properties, efficiently converting epoxides
Batteries
Researchers LEE, Eunsung, PAIK, Chi, and SUN, Liyuan have filed a patent application for a method to improve the performance and durability of lithium-ion batteries. The proposed method involves saturating the battery cells with a carbonate-based electrolyte, followed by flushing out the electrolyte with a soft solvents-based electrolyte. This process
