![]() In our future electrified world, the demand for battery storage is projected to be enormous, but the lithium-ion battery has a component made of cobalt and nickel, and those two metals face severe supply constraints on the global market. How to Make Lithium-ion Batteries Invincible ![]() ![]() “This discovery is exciting because it not only makes 2D magnetism possible at room temperature, but it also uncovers a new mechanism to realize 2D magnetic materials,” said Rui Chen, a UC Berkeley graduate student in the Yao Research Group and lead author on the study. The new material - which can be bent into almost any shape without breaking, and is a million times thinner than a sheet of paper - could help advance the application of spin electronics or spintronics, a new technology that uses the orientation of an electron’s spin rather than its charge to encode data. Main Attraction: Scientists Create World’s Thinnest MagnetĪ room-temperature magnet that’s just an atom thin? That may sound like something straight out of science fiction, but in a physics first, a research team led by Berkeley Lab reported such a device in Nature Communications. The study was widely covered in the media, including in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Jefferson Public Radio. The authors stressed that scientists and water managers need to work together more closely to develop and implement climate adaptation strategies. But the study also noted possible solutions. Led by researchers Erica Siirila-Woodburn and Alan Rhoades, this review paper analyzed previous climate projections and found that if greenhouse gas emissions continue along the high-emissions scenario, low-to-no-snow winters will become a regular occurrence in the western U.S. Managing Water Resources in a Low-to-No-Snow Future The agreement allows researchers who have changed their names to more easily claim work from all stages of their careers it specifically addresses the administrative and emotional difficulties some transgender researchers have experienced when requesting name changes associated with past academic work.īerkeley Lab’s most popular science stories of 2021 are as follows. national laboratories and many prominent publishers, journals, and other organizations in scientific publishing announced the beginning of a partnership to support name change requests from researchers on past published papers. In July, in an effort coordinated by Berkeley Lab, all seventeen U.S.
