Pollens, the bane of allergy sufferers, could represent a boon for battery makers: Recent research has suggested their potential use as anodes in li-ion batteries. Batteries have two electrodes, called an anode and a cathode. The anodes in most of today's li-ion batteries are made of graphite. Li-ions are contained in a liquid called an electrolyte and these ions are stored in the anode during recharging.

Design software on the SmartFusion2 KickStart Development Kit has been updated by Avnet to offer a data security demonstration.The kit, sold exclusively through Avnet, is an entry-level development platform designed to facilitate rapid prototyping using Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet (nicknamed Planet Nine) tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the distant solar system. The object has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and, on average, orbits approximately 20 times farther from the Sun than Neptune (which orbits the Sun at an average distance of 2.8bn miles). It would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the Su...
