Brookhaven Chemists Advance Lithium-Metal Battery Technology

Lithium-metal batteries, equipped with lithium metal anodes, have the remarkable ability to store over twice the energy of traditional lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes. Despite this potential, most battery-powered devices continue to rely on less advanced lithium-ion technology.

Organoid-Based Toxicity Testing as a Replacement for Animal Models

Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
