Tech Xplore / Dust-resilient perovskite solar cells could cut manufacturing costs and expand green energy worldwide
Research appearing in Communications Materials has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust during production, challenging the industry belief that high-performance solar technology must be ...
Medical Xpress / Why do some viruses linger for life? A 900,000-person study maps viral loads
Some viruses that make us sick are cleared by the immune system within days, while others lurk in our bodies for a lifetime and reemerge later to cause new problems. How and why viral levels in the body change over time—and ...
Medical Xpress / Triple pre-surgery therapy may boost immunity against soft tissue sarcoma
Early results from preclinical studies and a clinical trial led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and Stanford Medicine suggest that combining targeted radiation therapy with an experimental ...
Phys.org / Topological solitons power a chip-scale frequency comb source
Caltech scientists have developed a new way to produce optical frequency combs—important tools in devices that keep time and measure distances very precisely—at the chip scale, an advance that should make it easier to incorporate ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists call out health-harming corporations driving rise in chronic disease
Chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurocognitive disorders and infertility are rising globally, with health-harming products such as fossil fuels, tobacco, ultra-processed foods, toxic chemicals, plastics and alcohol ...
Phys.org / It's go time: historic Moon mission set for lift-off
More than half a century after the groundbreaking Apollo program's last crewed flight to the moon, three men and one woman are preparing for a lunar journey set to turn a new page in American space exploration.
Phys.org / Organocatalytic strategy provides a metal-free route to antiviral candidates
A research team led by Prof. Sun Jianwei has achieved an advancement in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry by developing an air-stable chiral phosphine-catalyzed enantioselective approach to synthesize enantioenriched ...
Tech Xplore / Mach 1.5 tests reveal noise feedback loops from supersonic jets
Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, or FCAAP, are helping to solve a safety challenge in military aviation: the extreme noise generated by supersonic jets ...
Tech Xplore / Harvesting heat and electricity from the sun, when you need it
Solar energy is abundant and frustratingly ill-timed. A sunbeam can become either electricity (useful for running modern life) or heat (useful for keeping spaces warm). But conventional solar hardware is single-minded: Photovoltaic ...
Phys.org / Are humans naturally violent? New research challenges long-held assumptions
New research from the University of Lincoln, UK, is challenging a common assumption about the evolutionary origins of human violence, suggesting that everyday aggression does not inevitably lead to lethal conflict. The study, ...
Medical Xpress / The epigenetics of trauma: 86 miRNAs linked to PTSD symptom severity and social adversity
Adverse childhood experiences and traumatic events experienced or witnessed at any point during one's lifetime can sometimes prompt the emergence of some mental health disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean diet may boost mitochondrial signals linked to heart and brain health
A study led by researchers at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology suggests that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be driven, in part, by tiny proteins hidden within our mitochondria, opening a new window ...
