In Li batteries after fast charging, researchers found that large local currents persist even after charging has stopped. The work sheds light on the causes of thermal runaway and the catastrophic failure of Li batteries at rest.

Soil organic carbon directly influences the regulation of atmospheric CO2. To better understand how calcium affects the accumulation of carbon in acidic soil, researchers studied grassland soils from Point Reyes National Seashore in Northern California.
