Free-standing ultrathin lithium metal–graphene oxide host foils with controllable thickness for lithium batteries
We developed a facile and scalable process to synthesize ultrathin (0.5 to 20 μm), free-standing and mechanically robust Li metal foils within graphene oxide host, enabling ideal prelithiation of conventional Li-ion full cells and prolong the cycle life of Li metal full cells by nine times.

Expanding deserts drove mammals and hominids out of Eurasia into Africa
The emergence of deserts in Arabia had a decisive impact on the evolution and migratory movements of mammals including our human ancestors. This is one of our conclusions after studying a 10-million-year climate history of Arabia, respectively Mesopotamia.
