Spain has scored in stoppage time to earn the point it needed against Sweden to qualify for the 2020 European Championship in advance

MADRID (AP) — With an equalizer in stoppage time, Spain earned the point it needed against Sweden to qualify for the 2020 European Championship on Tuesday, while Ireland missed its chance to seal a spot in next year’s tournament by losing to Switzerland. Already qualified Italy routed Liechtenstein 5-0 for a record-equaling ninth straight win. […]

Culture beat: The Defiant Dave Chappelle For all the pans of comedian Dave Chappelle’s latest Netflix comedy special from “super-woke” modern critics, gibes National Review’s Katherine Timpf, audiences “liked it. They liked it a lot.” Yes, “Chappelle was making jokes about untouchable subjects — such as race, the LGBT community, and school shootings” — but...

The Patriots needed to make room for tight ends Eric Tomlinson and Ben Watson, and quarterback Cody Kessler is one of those corresponding moves. The Patriots are cutting Kessler, according to multiple reports. He signed with the team on Sept. 25. Kessler, 26, entered the league as a third-round choice of the Browns in 2016. [more]

Washington DC (SPX) Oct 08, 2019 - Pressure improves the ability of materials to turn heat into electricity and could potentially be used to create clean generators, according to new work from a team that includes Carnegie's Alexander Goncharov and Viktor Struzhkin published in Nature Materials.

Alternative energy sources are key to combating climate change caused by carbon emissions. Compounds with thermoelectric capabilities can convert thermal energy's innate, physical need to spread from... Читать дальше...

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Oct 11, 2019 - How do you start a fusion reaction, the process that lights the sun and stars, on Earth? Like lighting a match to start a fire, you first produce plasma, the state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei that fuels fusion reactions, and raise it to temperatures rivaling the sun in hundreds of milliseconds.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), working with researchers at the Culham Centre... Читать дальше...

Richland WA (SPX) Oct 15, 2019 - Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures--known as dendrites and whiskers--that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

The team, led by Chongmin Wang at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has shown that the presence of certain compounds in the electrolyte--the liquid material that makes a battery's critical chemistry possible--prompts the growth of dendrites and whiskers.

Stanford CA (SPX) Oct 14, 2019 - Researchers at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory say they have found the first, long-sought proof that a decades-old scientific model of material behavior can be used to simulate and understand high-temperature superconductivity - an important step toward producing and controlling this puzzling phenomenon at will.

The simulations they ran, published in Science, suggest that researchers might be able to toggle... Читать дальше...

Chicago IL (SPX) Oct 14, 2019 - Lithium-carbon dioxide batteries are attractive energy storage systems because they have a specific energy density that is more than seven times greater than commonly used lithium-ion batteries. However, until now, scientists have not been able to develop a fully rechargeable prototype, despite their potential to store more energy.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago are the first to show that lithium-carbon dioxide batteries can be designed to operate in a fully rechargeable manner... Читать дальше...

Lausanne, Switzerland (SPX) Oct 14, 2019 - Superconductivity has fascinated scientists for many years since it offers the potential to revolutionize current technologies. Materials only become superconductors - meaning that electrons can travel in them with no resistance - at very low temperatures. These days, this unique zero resistance superconductivity is commonly found in a number of technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Future technologies, however, will harness the total... Читать дальше...
