International scientists propose a solution for fast charging of lithium ion batteries
An international team led by Chinese scientists has developed a new electrolyte design that could change the fast charging of batteries. lithium ion batteriesthe Xinhua news agency reported in the last few hours. The study, published in the journal Nature, presents a solution that allows batteries to be charged in just 10 minutes at room […]
Lab-grown miniplacentas help better understand preeclampsia
A team scientist has developed “miniplacentas” in the laboratory and has used them to clarify how the placenta develops and interacts with the inner lining of the uterus, which could help better understand preeclampsia and, in the future, treat it. The study, published this Wednesday in Cell Stem Cell, demonstrates that it is possible to […]
The 2.2% of the most common tree species cover 50% of the forests
A collaborative study of 356 international scientists has identified almost identical patterns of tree diversity in the tropical forests of the planet, regardless of the continent, and an important key: only 2.2% of tree species, the most common, represent 50% of all trees. The research, whose conclusions are reported today in the magazine Nature, is […]

Scientists show how to make lunar soil fertile for agriculture
If the humanity establishes long-term foundations in the Moon, you will need a regular source of food. However, it is not practical to think that you can plant corn either wheat in greenhouses on flat lunar soil on the Moon and expect a bountiful harvest, or none at all. But scientists are taking steps to […]
NASA collects first samples of asteroid that fell to Earth
The first samples of a asteroid collected by the POT in deep space parachuted into a capsule over the Utah desert on Sunday to cap a seven-year journey. In a flyby of Earth, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft released the capsule with the samples at an altitude of 100,000 kilometers (63,000 miles). The small capsule landed four […]
