Medical Xpress / HIV vaccine triggers broadly neutralizing antibodies in 44% of primates
A new HIV vaccine developed by La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), Scripps Research scientists and IAVI has the potential to protect humans from developing HIV infection and AIDS. This HIV vaccine is the first to generate ...
Phys.org / Fast charging can cause irreversible lithium migration in solid-state batteries
Solid-state batteries are often viewed as a promising path toward safer and more powerful energy storage. However, one key question has remained difficult to answer: How does lithium actually move inside the solid materials ...
Phys.org / Neutron imaging reveals how water limits CO₂ storage in recycled concrete
The construction sector faces two problems at once: it emits large amounts of CO₂ and produces vast quantities of concrete waste. But what if part of that waste could be used to trap carbon instead of ending up as rubble?
Phys.org / 'Cosmic wallflowers' may hold the key to the origin of globular clusters
Astronomers using computer simulations have investigated whether a class of star clusters nicknamed "cosmic wallflowers" could be the long-sought ancestors of the globular clusters we see orbiting galaxies today. Their paper, ...
Tech Xplore / Small aquatic robots that assemble into reconfigurable structures on the water
Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like construction site. Their new system, called "FloatForm," is a swarm of small square robotic boats that ...
Phys.org / Baseline tool could separate alien life signals from geology on ocean worlds
When it comes to the search for life elsewhere in the universe, methane and other chemical compounds are seen as signs of biology because they are often produced by living microbes. However, scientists can be misled because ...
Phys.org / New CRISPR method makes it possible to control protein production in cells
The speed at which a cell produces proteins is a decisive factor in determining whether it divides, specializes or retains its stem cell properties. A team of researchers led by Professor Stefan H. Stricker, professor of ...
Medical Xpress / First E-STAR annual report offers unprecedented view of early access to kidney transplantation
Chronic kidney disease affects millions of Americans, and more than 800,000 people in the United States are living with end-stage kidney disease. While kidney transplantation is widely recognized as the preferred treatment ...
Phys.org / Sensors detect California cliff collapses hours to days before failure, report says
Following a four-year study, scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography released a new report to determine whether an early warning system could detect a landslide before it happens. The "California ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite triple-junction solar cells reach 27.3% efficiency with record 770-hour stability
Perovskite semiconductors efficiently convert sunlight into electrical energy; they are also inexpensive and extremely lightweight. A team at HZB has developed a triple-junction solar cell comprising different perovskite ...
Tech Xplore / A soft exoskeleton could restore hand function in people with motor impairments
Recent technological advances have opened valuable possibilities for supporting people with motor impairments or who are recovering from injuries to the brain, spinal cord or nerves. Millions of people worldwide currently ...
Phys.org / Slowing Atlantic current could fuel stronger California atmospheric rivers by century's end
A slowing Atlantic Ocean current is projected to intensify powerful storms in California while reducing snowfall over Greenland, according to a recent University of California, Riverside study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...
