Chunks of this sodium-based compound (Na2B12H12) (left) would function well in a battery only at elevated temperatures, but when they are milled into far smaller pieces (right), they can potentially perform even in extreme cold, making them even more promising as the basis for safer, cheaper rechargeables.

In this Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016 photo, University of Rhode Island engineering professor Otto Gregory is reflected in a silicon wafer that contains sensors to detect explosives, in front of a thin film surface analyzer in a laboratory on the school's campus, in Kingston, R.I. He has developed a sensor that detects the explosive used in the Paris bombings, to try to stop future attacks. Gregory compares his sensor to a dog’s nose, the gold standard in explosives detection. It 'sniffs' the air for vapors emitted from explosives.
