A modified manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, developed by University of Michigan engineers, could enable high ranges and fast charging in cold weather, solving problems that are turning potential EV buyers away.

“We envision this approach as something that EV battery manufacturers could adopt without major changes to existing factories,” said Neil Dasgupta, U-M associate professor of mechanical engineering and and engineering, and corresponding author of the study published in Joule.

“For the first time, we’ve shown a pathway to simultaneously achieve extreme fast charging at , without sacrificing the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.”

Advanced carbon fiber materials could be used in applications from wind turbine blades to biomedical implants following the development of a low-cost carbon fiber feedstock.

The carbon fibers were spun from synergistic blends of the low-value heavy oils left over from refining by members of KAUST’s Clean Energy Research Platform. The work could not only facilitate broader carbon fiber uptake but also create sustainable new uses for residual oils as the world transitions to alternative energy systems.

“Crude oil is a resource with immense potential beyond fuels,” says Edwin Guevara Romero, a researcher in the labs of Mani Sarathy, who led the work. “Using oil residues as feedstocks for is an innovative, high-value application of oil-derived resources, paving the way for economic diversification,” he says.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered the most distant quiescent galaxy ever seen – one that had already stopped forming stars just 700 million years after the Big Bang. This challenges existing models of galaxy evolution, which can’t explain how such massive, red and

(K) A proposed model illustrating how the E3 ligase NbHRD1 negatively regulates viral infection in plants. Plant viruses with a TGB, BNYVV and PVX, as models, infect N. benthamiana plants, inducing the expression of NbHRD1 interacts with TGB movement proteins of BNYVV and PVX in the ER membrane. NbHRD1 triggers the ubiquitination and 26S proteasome-mediated degradation of TGB proteins, thereby suppressing viral movement to inhibit virus infection.

In (D), (G), and (J), EF1α served as an internal reference. The GFP gene was used as the indicator of viral RNA accumulation. Values are means ± SDs of three independent repeats. ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001; ns, not significant (Student’s t test).
