Researchers from The University of Osaka and Daikin Industries, Ltd. have discovered a key metric, “electrolyte lithium-ion chemical potential,” that governs lithium-ion battery performance. This quantitative indicator shows that efficient charging occurs when lithium ions are sufficiently “unstable” in the electrolyte. This breakthrough replaces trial-and-error methods with a rational design approach, enabling faster development of safer, higher-performance batteries for applications like EVs and renewable energy storage.Read More

In recent weeks, German authorities — working with partners across Europe and with crucial intelligence support from Israel — disrupted a sophisticated Hamas-linked plot to carry out targeted assassinations against Jewish and Israeli civilians in Berlin and other cities. Five suspects were arrested in Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and at the Czech border. Weapons included an AK-47, eight Glock pistols, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.Read More
