A recent review published in National Science Review delves into the significance and potential of synchronous electrolytes for aqueous zinc-halogen batteries. The review examines challenges such as zinc corrosion and halogen instability, while proposing advanced strategies like gradient hydrogels and biphasic electrolytes to simultaneously optimize both sides. These insights pave the way for practical applications in grid-scale energy storage.

Powered by differentiable imaging, Uncertainty - Aware Fourier Ptychography (UA - FP) revolutionizes computational imaging. It models uncertainties without complex calibration, enabling high - quality reconstructions despite system flaws, and opens doors to diverse applications.

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and quantifying the complex airflow dynamics directly above the ocean surface in high resolution. Using an innovative laser measurement system, previously unknown and highly complex mechanisms of energy exchange between wind and waves have been deciphered — a significant step forward for climate research, weather models, and ocean dynamics. The research findings have been published in Nature Communications.
