Solid-state batteries utilize solid electrolytes to achieve high energy densities, but they often fail prematurely due to the formation of lithium metal spikes, known as dendrites. Recent research reveals that hidden electrical imbalances at the microscopic boundaries between electrolyte grains drive the formation of these destructive structures.

Testing Coffee With Current

Coffee is a key ingredient in the scientific process for many researchers, so it’s no wonder that researchers often develop an interest in the drink’s physics and chemistry. In a new study, a research team devised an objective method to test both a coffee’s strength and its roast color.

The researchers used a potentiostat to test how an electric current interacted with the brewed coffee and showed how the measurements related to the coffee’s flavor. The method was even robust enough that they could identify which coffee sample came from a batch of beans that had failed a roaster’s quality controls.

While you’re unlikely to use such a method at home, it could be helpful in coffee shops, where baristas try to pin down the variables to produce the same flavor in every cup. (Image credit: M. Kenneally; research credit: R. Bumbaugh et al.; via Ars Technica)

It's hard to pull Mg out of seawater, and we know that minerals with it, like dolomite, form along a redox profile. But why?
We decided to look at it a bit differently - with electrochemistry!
What we think is going on is a process called “proton-driven cation pumping,” which pulls out the Mg and pushes it (and Ca) into the mineral phase, driven by the electrical potential gradient.
