The Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation (717~660 million years ago) represents the most severe icehouse climate in Earth's history. Geological evidence indicates that, during this glaciation, ice ...

Lithium sulfur batteries are often touted as the next major chemistry for electric vehicle applications, if only their cycle life wasn’t so short. But that might be changing soon, as a group of ...

Geochemist Alexandra Phillips has sulfur on her mind. The yellow element is a vital macronutrient, and she’s trying to understand how it cycles through the environment. Specifically, she’s curious ...

Researchers in Germany have recently unveiled a new lithium-sulfur (Li-S) solid-state EV battery that could pave the way for ...

The record of Earth’s sulfur cycle preserved in sedimentary rocks is commonly used to track the evolution of microbial sulfur metabolisms and levels of atmospheric oxygen throughout geologic history.

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), along ...

Microbiologists discover bacteria that eliminate toxic sulfide and use iron minerals to grow. An international group of researchers led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy at the ...

Among the many different battery chemistries promising a big jump in the capacity, lifetime and cost of energy storage, lithium-sulfur stands out for its potential for strong performance without ...

Estuaries and Coasts, Vol. 40, No. 5 (SEPTEMBER 2017), pp. 1346-1357 (12 pages) To evaluate the impact of invading seagrass on biogeochemical processes associated with sulftir cycles, we investigated ...

Nutrient cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur cycles are critical processes that free up elements essential to life by recycling them through our water, air, and soil. Sulfur, ...
