Chinese scientists have developed the first hydride ion prototype battery, offering a brand new technical route of energy storage and laying a solid foundation for China's green energy development.

The team has invented a new core-shell structured composite hydride that exhibits good hydride ion conduction properties at room temperature, along with excellent thermal and electrochemical stability — making it an ideal electrolyte material and overcoming a key obstacle that had kept hydride ion batteries at the conceptual stage.

This hydride allows them to construct an all-solid-state rechargeable hydride ion battery, with sodium aluminum hydride, a hydrogen storage material, as the positive electrode, and hydrogen-poor cerium dihydride as the negative electrode. The team also built a stacked battery based on this configuration, increasing the voltage to 1.9 volts and lighting up an LED light.

Published in the journal @Nature, the findings prove the feasibility of the hydride ion battery for powering electronic devices and mark its leap from the conceptual stage to experimental verification.

Chinese researchers on Tuesday unveiled their self-developed world's first “bone glue” material capable of securely bonding fractured bone fragments within 2-3 minutes in a blood-rich environment.
Inspired by oysters, this new biomaterial, with a maximum adhesion strength of over 200 kg, is fully biodegradable and can be naturally absorbed within about six months as the bone heals, eliminating the need for a second surgery required in traditional procedures.
Having already been tested on more than 150 patients with proven safety and efficacy, it is expected to replace traditional metal implants, potentially revolutionizing orthopedic treatment.

A research team at China's Nankai University has made major strides in detecting text generated by AI, developing a system that significantly reduces false positives and false negatives, a problem that has plagued many existing tools. The team's research paper on the system has been accepted by ACM Multimedia 2025.

Chinese scientists have, for the first time in the world, achieved high-resolution deep-brain multicolor two-photon imaging in freely moving mice using a newly developed miniature two-photon microscope, providing a new tool for decoding complex brain function mechanisms, said a study published online in the journal Nature Methods on Thursday.

What a surprise, extremely high levels of PFAS in the foam on Nantucket’s beach that is closest to the broken wind turbine and offshore wind development. What are the odds… #mapoli https://t.co/Nlm3e5hNZq

But high-speed rail in the United States is "infeasible"?

Today, Los Angeles and the Bay Area will see 130 flights in both directions, equivalent to a plane departing every 6.5 minutes for 18 hours a day. Hard to argue it's not a perfect candidate for fast trains.

The Boring Company, Elon Musk’s tunnel-digging operation, and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee have announced a plan for a 10-mile underground “loop” connecting Nashville to the airport.

The public reportedly won't be able to use the tunnel, only paid Tesla trips will be permitted.
