Alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. nearly doubled from 1999 to 2020. The sharpest spike occurred among 25鈥�34-year-olds (nearly fourfold), while individuals aged 55鈥�64 had the highest rates. Men consistently had higher rates but women saw the largest proportional rise, with deaths increasing 2.5 times. Asian and Pacific Islander communities experienced the steepest ethnic increase, while the Midwest saw the greatest regional rise (2.5 times), followed by the Northeast, West, and South.

A recent study unveils an innovative composite phase change material (CPCM) tailored for lithium-ion battery (LIB) thermal management. Using hydrated salts, this material is engineered to regulate battery temperatures and mitigate thermal runaway (TR) risks, paving the way for safer and more efficient battery applications. The research emphasizes the dual benefits of improved energy densities and longevity while addressing pressing safety concerns associated with high-rate charging and discharging.
