MODESTO, Calif., Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study found that eating almonds reduced some feelings of muscle soreness during exercise recovery which translated to improved muscle performance during a vertical jump challenge. These results expand on prior research1 which looked at how almonds affect muscle recovery after exercise.

Key Points:

These results expand on prior research1 which looked at how almonds affect muscle recovery after exercise.
The treadmill test was designed to cause muscle damage to see how almonds affected muscle recovery.
Study Conclusion: Snacking on almonds for eight weeks reduced perceived feelings of muscle soreness during recovery from muscle-damaging exercise, resulting in better maintenance of muscle functional capacity.
This study suggests that almonds are a functional food snack to improve exercise tolerance in mildly overweight, middle-aged adults.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COLLECTIVE METALS INC. (CSE: COMT | OTC: CLLMF | FSE: TO1) (the “Company” or “Collective”) is pleased to provide a review of the Lamont Ridge target area in its flagship Princeton Project (the “Project” or the “Property”), in south-central B.C. The Property hosts several alkalic Cu-Au porphyry targets associated with Triassic diorite intrusions analogous to those associated with the currently producing Copper Mountain Mine, located approximately 10 km east of the Project. While the Trojan-Condor Corridor remains the highest priority target area, results from Phase II of the Company’s two-phase soil geochemical survey (the “Program”), completed in 2023, confirmed four (4) promising prospects (see News Release dated January 8, 2024) with favourable geology, geophysical signatures, and/or historic geochemistry.

Key Points:

We have demonstrated that the Princeton Property has multiple viable target areas in addition to the drill-ready Trojan-Condor Corridor.
Lamont Ridge to Findlay Target Corridor with Aeromagnetic anomalies, propylitic and inferred potassic alteration, diorite intrusions, and 2023 soil geochemical results for copper.
The Company notes Kodiak Copper has successfully used 3D IP to generate drill targets at their MPD Property 20 km northeast of the Property.

Self-extinguishing batteries could reduce the risk of deadly and costly battery fires

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, February 6, 2024

By modifying affordable commercial coolants to function as battery electrolytes, we were able to produce a battery that puts out its own fire.

Key Points:

By modifying affordable commercial coolants to function as battery electrolytes, we were able to produce a battery that puts out its own fire.
We subjected these batteries to the nail penetration test, a common method for assessing lithium-ion battery safety.
Driving a stainless steel nail through a charged battery simulates an internal short circuit; if the battery catches fire, it fails the test.

Why it matters

High outdoor temperatures or uneven temperatures within a battery pack seriously threaten batteries’ safety and durability.
Energy-dense batteries, such as the lithium-ion versions that are widely used in electronics and electric vehicles, contain an electrolyte formulation dominated by organic molecules that are highly flammable.
As scientists studying energy generation, storage and conversion, we have a strong interest in developing energy-dense and safe batteries.

How we did our work

However, most known nonflammable organic solvents contain fluorine and phosphorus, which are expensive and can have harmful effects on the environment.
We focused on a mature, safe and affordable commercial fluid called Novec 7300, which has low toxicity, is nonflammable and does not contribute to global warming.

What still isn’t known

For this reason, our study focused predominantly on self-extinguishing potassium-ion batteries, although it also showed that our electrolyte works well for making self-extinguishing lithium-ion batteries.
If the industry embraces it, we expect that companies will be able to manufacture nonflammable batteries using their existing lithium-ion battery facilities.
