Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy has been widely envisioned as a key strategy to significantly improve the sustainability of human society. To investigate the adoption of circularity indicators in the electrical and electronic industries, a paper has been published in the Sustainability.

NIMS and Softbank Corp. have developed a lithium-air battery with an energy density over 500Wh/kg-;significantly higher than currently lithium ion batteries. The research team then confirmed that this battery can be charged and discharged at room temperature.
It's no secret that we need more sustainable materials if we hope to help the planet. Bio-derived materials are one potential option, but they must be economical if anyone is going to use them.
The design of new materials allows for either improved efficiency of known applications or totally new applications that were out of reach with the previously existing materials. Indeed, tens of thousands of conventional materials such as metals and their alloys have been identified over the last hundred years.
Scientists from the RESOLV Cluster of Excellence at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have used current and voltage measurements on separate nanoparticles to prove that the capacitively stored charge at platinum interfaces can be considerably higher than formerly believed. They credit this to a unique arrangement and bonding of water molecules.
While ‘Strange Metal’ may sound like the name of an experimental avant-garde subgenre of heavy metal music, it in fact refers to a class of materials that shares fundamental quantum attributes with black holes.
