Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIB) play a key role in the energy transition towards clean energy, powering electric vehicles, storing energy on renewable grids, and helping to cut emissions from transportation and energy sectors. Lithium (Li) demand is estimated to increase considerably in the...
The Negev desert, which covers half of Israel's land mass, is so dry that parts of it get less than three inches of water a year. But beneath it is water that sustains the people and agriculture of the region. Understanding where it came from, how much is there, and what's happening...

International standards IAEA CH7 (polyethylene foil: δ13C (‰) −32.15, δ2H (‰) −100.3) and IAEA NBS 22 (oil: δ13C (‰) −29.79, δ2H (‰) −120) supplied by IAEA (International Agency of Atomic Energy) permit the calibration of safranal synthesis standards. ...
Double beta decay (𝛽𝛽) is a spontaneous weak process changing the nuclear charge Z by two units while leaving the atomic mass A unchanged. It is a transition among isobaric isotopes. Having in mind the Weizscker mass formula [8], it is evident that the most suitable candidate isotopes...
