New research project of NMNHS – BAS to explore the invertebrate fauna of the Balkan Peninsula

Easily accessible internet-based platforms describing model invertebrate genera of the Balkan Peninsula as spiders and rove beetles are being developed by scientists from the National Museum of Natural History at BAS. They will collect and analyze data from molecular, statistical and morphological studies in order to lay the foundations for research on the invertebrate fauna of the peninsula. The results will be presented on the platforms: http://balkan-spiders.com for spiders and http://coleoptera-bulgaria.myspecies.info – for beetles. […]

Bulgarian scientists have created the battery of the future

Scientists from BAS in partnership with colleagues from Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" have created a new generation battery that will revolutionize the storage of energy. It is an original Bulgarian development of a safe, cheap and environmentally friendly rechargeable battery based on sodium. It can be combined with lithium-ion batteries or even replace them completely in a number of applications. The great achievement of our scientists is the development of a new type of electrodes from easily accessible materials such as sulphate salts which are widespread and can even be found on Mars. The leading organization in the project is the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IGIC-BAS). Partners are the Institute of Electrochemistry and Energy Systems (IEES-BAS) [...]
