New naphthalene derivatives improve the air stability and cycling performance of ORAMs in AOFBs, potentially enhancing sustainable energy storage. Organic redox-active molecules (ORAMs) are plentiful and varied, presenting great potential for affordable and sustainable energy storage, especially in aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs). However, maintaining the stability of ORAMs during charging and discharging is crucial, as side reactions can deactivate them, rendering them inactive. The air stability of many ORAMs also poses a significant challenge, hindering their practical application.

A Pennsylvania mom is suing the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy claiming she nearly died from taking the prescription drugs and wasn’t properly warned about potentially harrowing side effects.

Burning for weeks, the Wapiti and Middle Fork Complex fires have charred tens of thousands of acres. In late July 2024, a lightning strike started the Wapiti fire in Idaho, which expanded to over 100,000 acres by early September due to worsening conditions. A temperature inversion initially helped suppress the fire, but once lifted, the fire intensified, leading to the closure of national forests and highways, and evacuation orders around Stanley. By September, red flag warnings predicted further escalation due to adverse weather conditions.
