Tech Xplore / Proposed all-climate battery design could unlock stability in extreme temps
Despite lithium-ion (Li) batteries' role as one of the most widely used forms of energy storage, they struggle to operate at full power in low temperatures and sometimes even explode at high temperatures. Researchers at Penn ...
Phys.org / Termite 'jumping genes' provide template to resolve tree of life
Genomes are key to unlocking life's evolutionary history. The presence and absence of certain genetic sequences and mutations can give us clues to the order in which species diverge. However, even state-of-the-art methods ...
Phys.org / What should countries do with their nuclear waste? Management strategies focus on radionuclide iodine-129
One of the highest-risk components of nuclear waste is iodine-129 (I-129), which stays radioactive for millions of years and accumulates in human thyroids when ingested. In the U.S., nuclear waste containing I-129 is scheduled ...
Medical Xpress / Brain pathway may fuel both aggression and self-harm
Aggression and self-harm often co-occur in individuals with a history of early-life trauma—a connection that has largely been documented by self-reporting in research and clinical settings. Adding to this connection, individuals ...
Medical Xpress / Abnormal repetitive behaviors in mice are associated with oxidative stress
Abnormal repetitive behaviors in mice are strongly linked to multiple biomarkers of oxidative stress, which occurs when antioxidants cannot counteract the effects of harmful molecules in the body, according to a study published ...
Medical Xpress / Large-scale protein screen reveals targets for a new tuberculosis vaccine
A large-scale screen of tuberculosis proteins has revealed several possible antigens that could be developed as a new vaccine for TB, the world's deadliest infectious disease.
