"Music genres have undergone a noticeable simpli?cation": a study concludes that modern music is not complex enough, and it's all your fault

The science behind the fact that music has become less complex is probably more interesting than the fact itself, and it's a shame the team didn't analyse the reasons more. We'd say that the increased use of technology has meant a decreased need for understanding complex music theory, and maybe that has resulted in less complex tunes.

Scientists develop space-age metal that doesn't expand when heated

The Eiffel Tower grows taller in summer due to thermal expansion. While this effect is common in most metals, it poses challenges in precision engineering. Certain applications demand materials that maintain a stable size regardless of temperature.

Scientists on path to solve major EV issue with revolutionary new material: 'This is the first time in the world'

Cold weather means more energy consumption and faster-draining batteries. Scientists on path to solve major EV issue with revolutionary new material: 'This is the first time in the world' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Scientists at the University of Maryland have developed a revolutionary new material aimed at addressing a significant issue in electric vehicle (EV) batteries: their performance in cold temperatures. This new material, a type of solid-state electrolyte, has shown the ability to conduct electricity at temperatures as low as -100 degrees Celsius, which is a first in the world. Traditional lithium-ion batteries suffer from reduced efficiency and capacity in cold weather, often requiring heating systems that consume additional energy. The new electrolyte, made from a combination of lithium, yttrium, and chlorine, not only maintains conductivity in extreme cold but also promises to enhance the safety, lifespan, and energy density of EV batteries. This breakthrough could potentially eliminate the need for battery heating systems, thereby improving the overall efficiency and range of electric vehicles in cold climates.
