The Next Battery Leap May Be Hiding in the Liquid Inside
A lithium-metal study reports high cell energy and encouraging durability tests. The innovation is the electrolyte—and the results need careful separation.
-
Scientists Edited Human Embryos. The Safety Warning Is the Real Story.
A new embryo base-editing study pairs a precise DNA result with a warning that should shape the debate about reproductive use.
