Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer-curing process that could reduce the cost, time and energy needed, compared with the current manufacturing process. The resulting polymer and composite parts possess similar mechanical properties to those cured conventionally. —Robertson et al.

The battery, reported in the journal Joule , is the first to operate with limited electrolytes while using an organic electrode, a change the researchers said allows it to store and discharge far more energy than earlier magnesium batteries. Dong said both organic polymer cathodes tested provided higher voltage than the Chevrel phase cathode.

The carbon fiber acts as a host for the lithium and thus stores the energy. In addition to being stiff and strong, they also have a good ability to store electrical energy chemically. This earlier work was named by Physics World as one of 2018’s ten biggest scientific breakthroughs. Carlstedt, D., Harnden, R., Johannisson, W.,

A new study, led by academics at St John’s College, University of Cambridge, has used semi-artificial photosynthesis to explore new ways to produce and store solar energy. Natural photosynthesis stores sunlight in chemical energy carriers, but it has not evolved for the efficient synthesis of fuels, such as H 2. —Katarzyna Sokó?,
