China's Breakthrough Lithium Battery Could Double EV Range To 600+ Miles, Survive -94°F Temp Authored by Bojan Stojkovski via Interesting Engineering, A team of researchers in China has unveiled an all-weather electrolyte designed to boost the performance of lithium batteries across a wide range of conditions. Scientists based in Shanghai and Tianjin report that batteries built with the new hydrofluorocarbon-based electrolyte delivered more than twice the energy density of conventional designs when tested at room temperature.  Fluorine-based electrolyte could improve EV and drone battery efficiency. Beyond efficiency gains, the team says the chemistry...

Birthright Citizenship Is National Suicide Authored by Daniel Greenfield via The Gatestone Institute, Last year the Trump administration designated Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) as a terrorist group, allowing the military to carry out strikes against it and its leadership, but the massive drug cartel across the border understands the weaknesses of our system all too well.
