Marine barite extracted from deep-sea sediment cores, seen here in a scanning electron microscope image, provides a record of variations in ocean chemistry over geologic time. (Image by Adina Paytan) ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are electrochemical instruments that directly transform fuels into electricity. Defined by low emission, high efficiency, and long term stability, the fuel cell device ...

A new analysis of strontium isotopes in marine sediments has enabled scientists to reconstruct fluctuations in ocean chemistry related to changing climate conditions over the past 35 million years.
