Transformative Battery Structure Surpasses US’ Fast Charge Goals
Current batteries are limited by their required charging time and achievable range. The US Department of Energy (DOE) developed a Fast-Charge goal of 10 minutes to charge an electric vehicle (EV) battery. However, fast charging current Li-ion batteries can result in Li-metal plating of the carbon-anode and the potential formation of catastrophic lithium dendrite shorts.

UMD Researchers Study the Intricate Processes Underpinning Gene Expression
A new study led by University of Maryland physicists sheds light on the cellular processes that regulate genes. Published in the journal Science Advances, the paper explains how the dynamics of a polymer called chromatin—the structure into which DNA is packaged—regulate gene expression.
