Resurrected ancient enzyme offers new window into early Earth and the search for life beyond it

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a new way to improve our understanding of the ...

Fault Detection for Lithium-Ion Battery Using Smooth Variable Structure Filters

Abstract: Batteries are prone to faults that may arise because of vibrations, deformations, collisions, or improper usage. These faults can be sorted into two main categories: internal and external ...
