Coating carbon on lithium metal oxide electrode, can double battery life
New Delhi, June 23, 2021: Researchers have developed a non-expensive way to coat carbon on lithium metal oxide electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The life of the lithium-ion cells prepared using these electrode materials is expected to be doubled due to protective carbon coating. Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used power source for electric vehicles. However, […]
Space-time induces neutrino oscillations
New Delhi, June 22, 2021: Scientists have shown that the geometry of space-time can cause neutrinos to oscillate. Neutrinos are mysterious particles, produced copiously in nuclear reactions in the Sun, stars, and elsewhere. They also “oscillate”– meaning that different types of neutrinos change into one another – as has been found in many experiments. Probing […]
Cold desert Ladakh was actively flooding during the post-glacial warming:
New Delhi, June 20, 2021: Scientists have shown that the cold desert of Ladakh Himalaya once experienced large floods that rose much above the present-day river level. It implies that in the scenario of global warming, when the higher Himalaya regions are expected to respond dramatically, flood frequency in Ladakh may increase, which may call for […]
