A research team led by Professor Jongsung Yu of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has successfully developed a new electrode material that can significantly enhance the performance of lithium-sulfur ...
Medical Xpress / Immigrant women careworkers keep Ontario's home care afloat under exploitative conditions
Despite recent provincial investments, Ontario's home-care system is still in crisis. Underfunding, rationed care and ideological preferences for privatization of services undermine dignified aging and care for those in need ...
Medical Xpress / Can you wear the same pair of socks more than once?
It's pretty normal to wear the same pair of jeans, a jumper or even a t-shirt more than once. But what about your socks?
Phys.org / From concrete walls to living edges, here's how riverside habitats are being restored along the Thames
The Thames estuary in southeast England—the tidal stretch of the river—once supported extensive saltmarshes, seagrass meadows and oyster beds. These shallow areas, which flood and drain with the tides, provided vital ...
