MagLab research pinpoints factors for better battery design

Feb 12, 2024 | news.fsu.edu | Edan Schultz |Kathleen Haughney

You’ve probably experienced the dread of a suddenly dead phone that is glacially slow to recharge. Earbuds or laptops that die at the most inconvenient times. And perhaps you’ve delayed shopping for an electric car because of limited cruise range (or high price). These battery breakdowns and charge collapses are because of shortcomings in the lithium-ion batteries powering today’s technology.

MagLab to analyze environmental impact of Maui wildfires

Nov 15, 2023 | theinvadingsea.com | Edan Schultz

By Edan Schultz, Florida State University NewsScientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory will be analyzing soil and water samples from the site of the wildfires that devastated parts of Maui in early August, aiding an effort to examine how the fire impacted the chemistry of the soil and water and how that could affect the area’s larger ecosystem. What sparked the flames, how long and hot the fire burned, what it burned and what was used to put it out can all impact water quality.
