            "title": "Boron nitride nanotubes move lithium ions 31 times faster than expected",
            "description": "Researchers at Rutgers University, the University of Illinois Chicago, and Argonne National Laboratory have found that boron nitride nanotube membranes transport lithium ions far faster than expected, pointing to potential applications in lithium recovery from spent batteries and blue energy generation.",
            "content": "Scientists used boron nitride, a synthetic crystalline compound, to build membranes containing millions of microscopic tubes that move lithium ions far faster than other charged particles. Lithium transport was observed at up to 31 times the rate exp... [1245 chars]",

They profoundly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, the flow of matter and global biogeochemical cycles. Yet despite their abundance and ecological importance, many of them have long remained invisible to science.",

            "description": "Solar storms do not electrocute people. They induce slow electric currents in long conductors — power lines, pipelines and undersea internet cables — which then channel the damage into substations and shore stations. The 1989 Quebec blackout took down a continent's grid in 90 seconds without a single direct strike from the Sun.",
            "content": "On the morning of March 13, 1989, the Hydro-Québec power grid collapsed in less than two minutes. A coronal mass ejection from the Sun had slammed into Earth’s magnetosphere the day before, and by early morning the rapidly shifting magnetic field ove... [9490 chars]",
