Large batteries for long-term storage of solar and wind power are key to integrating abundant and renewable energy sources into the U.S. power grid. However, there is a lack of safe and reliable battery technologies to support the push toward sustainable, clean energy. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have designed a cost-effective and […]
Microsoft says outdated Exchange servers cannot receive new emergency mitigation definitions because an Office Configuration Service certificate type is being deprecated. Emergency mitigations (also known as EEMS mitigations) are delivered via the Exchange Emergency Mitigation Service(EEMS), introduced three years ago in September 2021.
