Billions of tiny particles packed into rechargeable lithium-ion battery electrodes are responsible for storing charge and making it available when it's needed to do work. X-ray movies of this process show the particles absorbing and releasing lithium ions as the battery charges and discharges. Now, in an important step forward, researchers have used a type of machine learning called "computer vision" to dig even deeper, analyzing each and every pixel of those X-ray movies to discover physical and chemical details of battery cycling that couldn't be seen before.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice (DOJ) is studying the possibility of transferring controversial detainee Jad Dera from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to another facility.

LONDON—Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi said he is taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future to 'adjust to the impact' of having Tourette syndrome, days after he struggled during a Glastonbury music festival performance. The 26-year-old had taken three weeks off ahead of his set on Saturday at the festival held in southwest England, where the likes of Elton John, Guns n' Roses and Lana Del Rey were among the billing. But after performing several songs, Capaldi told the crowd he was starting to lose his voice.

MANILA, Philippines — A farmer group on Friday slammed the National Food Authority's (NFA) proposal to import 330,000 metric tons of rice, saying that the suggestion goes against the agency's own mandate. The NFA had previously suggested in a meeting with President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.,who concurrently serves as the Agriculture chief, that importation is needed to augment a projected deficit of rice buffer stock. 'Ang sabi ng Pangulo: ‘hindi tayo magkukulang sa bigas.' Buffer stocking na nga lang ang binibili ng NFA sa mga magsasaka, gusto pa mag-import na lang.

Period products come in a variety of styles - liners, pads, tampons, cups and underwear - to help people feel comfortable during a menstrual bleed. But their labels don't usually list the ingredients, so consumers don't know what's in their product of choice. Now, researchers have analyzed over 100 period products for fluorinated compounds, an indicator of potentially harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. Their results show that while PFAS are absent from many products, they might be accidentally or intentionally added to others.

It has been a rainy two weeks. After all the warnings about El Niño upon us, rains during the onset of a rainy season should be more than welcome. They are, actually, on the overall. Residents of Metro Manila had already been warned about water rationing about a month ago. Three weeks later, several dams in Luzon had released some water as a preventive measure. One thing for sure, though, is that a few more weeks of rain will make our dams overflow. What a sad choice we have before us. Unusual heat and the high probability of drought during El Niño or storms, rains, and floods.
