Scientists invent self-healing battery electrode

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 12:57 PM PST

Researchers have made the first battery electrode that heals itself, opening a new and potentially commercially viable path for making the next generation of lithium ion batteries for electric cars, cell phones and other devices. The secret is a stretchy polymer that coats the electrode, binds it together and spontaneously heals tiny cracks that develop during battery operation, according to the research.

Graphene nanoribbons for 'reading' DNA

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 12:56 PM PST

One of the methods used for examining the molecules in a liquid consists in passing the fluid through a nano-sized hole so as to detect their passage. Researchers have found a way to improve this technique by using a material with unique properties: graphene.
