Discovery of “cooperative” interactions among battery components points to an exciting new approach for designing batteries beyond lithium-ion.
Leonardo da Vinci may have been a genius, but he was also a hot mess — at least in terms of organizing his works. When he died in 1519, the Renaissance master left behind 7,000 pages of undated drawings, scientific observations and personal journals, more or less jumbled up in a box. So, when his assistant collected da Vinci’s papers, he did his best to collate them into journals, or codices, mostly based on subject matter.
The American Physical Society welcomed three new Fellows from Argonne — Dillon Fong, Katrin Heitmann and Ahren Jasper.
