Chinese Researchers Make a Breakthrough in Lithium Battery Technology
Chinese scientists have developed a new type of electrolyte, marking a breakthrough in the country's core lithium battery technology. The achievement, made jointly by researchers from the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology and Nankai University, is expected to double the range of existing lithium batteries and significantly improve their low-temperature performance.
NASA to Pause Gateway Lunar Station, Accelerate Return to Moon
NASA announced a set of initiatives to accelerate the return to the moon, including pausing the Gateway lunar orbital station in its current form, and building a sustained lunar surface presence. It said it will incorporate more commercially procured and reusable hardware to enable frequent and affordable crewed missions to the lunar surface, initially targeting landings every six months.
Hair-thin Sensors to Revolutionize Cancer Detection
Scientists from Australia and Germany have developed hair-thin sensors that can detect multiple cancer biomarkers simultaneously. The tiny sensors use ultrafast 3D micro-printing technology, which targets biomarkers and is printed onto optical fiber tips to measure several biomarkers simultaneously, including temperature and chemical changes.
