The Australian government has commenced a legal confrontation with 3M Company and its Australian branch, pursuing A$2 billion (£1.1 billion) in damages linked to pollution from per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 28 military bases nationwide. The lawsuit claims that 3M intentionally concealed vital information and misrepresented the ecological hazards tied to their aqueous film-forming […]

Have you ever attempted to replicate findings from the energy storage literature? Have you ever tested an electrochemical cell and struggled to achieve the same results? You are not alone. In the last two years, my colleagues and I at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), UK, along with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), […]

An international investigation has shown that minor differences in experimental methodologies can greatly affect flow battery efficiency, underlining replicability issues within the discipline. As renewable energy systems generate variable power, flow batteries play a vital role in energy storage, employing liquid electrolytes to retain energy for prolonged durations. Despite progress in the domain, worries remain […]
