Voice-over: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Item #1: Astronomers report in a new study that superflares from young red dwarf stars are much less dangerous to their planets than previously thought.[7]
Item #2: The first time a lithium-ion battery is charged it permanently loses 10-18% of its capacity, but scientists present a new simple technique that prevents 93% of this loss.[8]
Item #3: A new study involving bacteriophages details a potential new gene editing system more efficient and precise than CRISPR.[9]
