  • Science: Electric car batteries souped-up with fluorinated electrolytes for longer-range driving [Report]

    The success of electric car batteries depends on the miles that can be driven on a single charge, but the current crop of lithium-ion batteries are reaching their natural limit of how much charge can be packed into any given space, keeping drivers on a short tether. Now, researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD), […]

  • Study Will Measure Quality Of Northern Wisconsin Groundwater

    First-Ever Private Well Testing Will Measure Fluoride, Metal Levels In 11 Counties A first-of-its-kind groundwater quality study in 11 northern Wisconsin counties will focus on what’s in the drinking water of private wells. The University of Wisconsin-Superior’s Lake Superior Research Institute has received a nearly $56,000 grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to […]

    AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). ACTION: Notice; request for comment. SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces in this Federal Register Notice a proposed operational control range around optimal fluoride concentration in community […]

  • How the EPA and the Pentagon Downplayed a Growing Toxic Threat

    A family of chemicals — known as PFAS and responsible for marvels like Teflon and critical to the safety of American military bases — has now emerged as a far greater menace than previously disclosed. The chemicals once seemed near magical, able to repel water, oil and stains. By the 1970s, DuPont and 3M had […]

  • Greens win court case seeking stronger air pollution rules for brick makers

    A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that parts of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) latest air pollution rule for brick makers don’t go far enough. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit accepted arguments from environmental groups, saying that the EPA acted improperly when it downplayed cancer risks from certain pollutants and […]

  • Oberon: Letter | What about the experts who say no to fluoride?

    FELLOW townsfolk, although we’re likely all sick of hearing about it, one of the truly remarkable facts about sodium fluoride is how much we are getting already. It has hundreds of industrial applications, including fertiliser and pesticides, and its popularity as a dental product is due to decades of successful industry marketing and advertising. When […]

  • New modified iron trifluoride intercalation-conversion cathode could triple energy density

    A collaboration led by scientists at the University of Maryland (UMD), the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the US Army Research Lab have developed and studied a new cathode material—a modified and engineered form of iron trifluoride (FeF3)—that could triple the energy density of lithium-ion battery electrodes. Their open-access paper is […]
