Researchers at MIT and their colleagues are proposing a new design for electrodes that, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as the anode, could lead to longer-lived batteries with higher energy densities. The new cathode does not rely only on the capacity contribution from these transition-metals in battery cycling.

Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. The material is a hydrogel, a polymer network that naturally retains a lot of water. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air.
