Scientists from China have developed a new hydrofluorocarbon-based electrolyte that significantly increases the efficiency of batteries at low temperatures and delivers record-breaking energy density. This technology opens up new possibilities for use in electric vehicles, the aerospace industry, and energy storage systems operating in extreme climate conditions.
A new large-scale study has shown that fluoride in drinking water at recommended levels does not harm cognitive functions and may even help improve them. These findings confirm the safety and potential health benefits of water fluoridation for the population.
Scientists have developed an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient method for recycling Teflon, allowing it to be converted into valuable chemical ingredients without producing harmful waste. This new approach paves the way for reusing fluorine from industrial and household waste, helping to reduce environmental impact.
