Scientists have discovered that coating a lithium metal foil with a multi-walled carbon nanotube film could be key in building a longer-lasting battery. The researchers used the nanotube films to halt the growth of dendrites on a battery's unprotected lithium metal anodes.

Most synthetic nanoparticles are quickly cleared in the bloodstream before reaching tumors. But researchers have shown how polymer shells can be used to cloak nanoparticles in the bloodstream and prevent them from being taken up by the immune system and liver — the body’s primary screeners for removing harmful intruders from circulation.

Researchers from Brown University have developed a new alloy catalyst that both reduces platinum use and holds up well in fuel cell testing. This result is significant because the cost of platinum is high, which is holding back the widespread use of eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cells in cars, trucks and other vehicles.
