More than 8,000 customers are without power after a coastal storm left salt buildup on electrical equipment, according to WAVY.com reporting. Salt accumulation on lines and insulators can cause outages by making components conductive, and crews are working to restore service. Coastal storms along the Virginia and North Carolina coast regularly create this hazard, and residents are monitoring utility restoration updates.

Researchers are highlighting a new two-dimensional material combining a topological insulator with MXene, aimed at clean energy applications. The hybrid is presented as a 'powerhouse' that could improve energy conversion or storage thanks to the topological insulator's protected surface states and MXene's conductivity. Technical details beyond the headline remain scarce.
