Second Wind: Air-Breathing Lithium Batteries Promise Recharge-Free Long-Range Driving–If the Bugs Can Be Worked Out
Researchers predict a new type of lithium battery under development could give an electric car enough juice to travel a whopping 800 kilometers before it needs to be plugged in again–about 10 times the energy that today's lithium ion batteries supply. It is a tantalizing prospect –a lighter, longer-lasting, air-breathing power source for the next generation of vehicles–if only someone could build a working model. Several roadblocks stand between these lithium–air batteries and the open road, however, primarily in finding electrodes and electrolytes that are stable enough for rechargeable battery chemistry.
Oil Habit Unchanged on Two-Year Anniversary of BP’s Gulf of Mexico Spill
Two years ago, 11 men lost their lives as a backlash of gas exploded into the night from the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico. In the ensuing months, roughly 5 million barrels of oil and more than 6 billion cubic feet of natural gas spewed into the ocean from the Macondo well more than a kilometer underwater. It took the combined efforts of the U.S.

A New World on the Outside of a Raleigh Museum
In Raleigh, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences has been building its Nature Research Center, a brand new extension to the museum focusing not just on science but on how science is done.
Hot Spring Yields New Hybrid Viral Genome
In the hostile environment of a bubbling volcanic hot spring, a team of researchers at Portland State University in Oregon has discovered a new viral genome that seems to be the product of recombination between a DNA virus and an RNA virus — a natural chimaera not seen before. Their findings
