The Amazing Maser | Hackaday
While it has become a word, laser used to be an acronym: “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. But there is an even older technology called a maser, which is the same acronym but with light switched out for…

Something Strange Is Happening on the Seafloor, Scientists Watched for 10 Years and Saw Nothing
This isn’t just an odd quirk of the ocean. Scientists warn it’s a disturbing sign of a broader environmental breakdown in progress. As climate change pushes more areas of the deep sea into low-oxygen “dead zones”, key species that…

Days numbered for ‘risky’ lithium-ion batteries, scientists say, after fast-charging breakthrough in sodium-ion alternative
Newly developed sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries could offer much faster charging speeds, higher energy density and improvements in safety compared with conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, scientists say.
Using Na-ion batteries, an…
