Tech Xplore / New strategy for designing ultra-fast charging batteries could prevent hazardous lithium plating
The rapid progress in electric vehicles and high-power electronics has increased the demand for ultra-fast-charging lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. However, during fast charging, current Li-ion rechargeable batteries suffer ...
Phys.org / Study lays groundwork for classifying lunar soil
As we move closer to supporting a sustainable human presence on the moon, researchers are investigating how its soils can provide valuable resources and even grow food. An article in the Soil Science Society of America Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Rare chromosomal differences found in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
One in four children diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder was found to have rare chromosomal differences at considerably higher rates than the general population, according to a study published in Alcohol: Clinical ...
Medical Xpress / New study links exposure to fungicides and insecticides to changes in the age of menarche
Puberty is a process regulated by the endocrine system, and its timing can be altered by environmental factors. Several recent studies point to a trend toward earlier onset of puberty in girls, a phenomenon linked to a complex ...
Phys.org / Bringing complex field physics to the tabletop: A photonic stage for non-Abelian gauge fields
For most theories in physics, the order of operations has little impact on the result. When setting a dial to a certain position, for example, it doesn't matter whether it's turned clockwise or counterclockwise—the result ...
Phys.org / New immune-blocking strategy improves interspecies organ generation
Xenophagocytosis is a natural immune process that limits interspecies organ generation by eliminating living donor cells, researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, report. By uncovering how embryonic macrophages ...
Medical Xpress / Research: Steam increases physiological strain during sauna bathing
A newly published Finnish study demonstrates that, in addition to temperature, air humidity is a significant determinant of physiological strain during sauna bathing. As humidity increases, both heart rate and core temperature ...
Medical Xpress / Gut protein mapping captures microbial and host responses during intestinal inflammation
The trillions of microorganisms living in our intestine influence our health, from digestion and metabolism to immunity. Yet scientists still struggle to understand how these microbes shape these important physiological functions ...
Phys.org / Some tropical butterflies live surprisingly long lives. Is it their high‑protein diet?
Butterflies are charismatic, colorful and cherished around the world. One of the most diverse groups of insects, with more than 19,000 described species, they inspire international organizations such as the North American ...
Medical Xpress / Lupus-linked immune misdirection could leave patients vulnerable to staph infections
Microbiology researchers from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have discovered why patients with the autoimmune disease lupus are susceptible to serious bacterial infections. Their new study published in Cell Press ...
Medical Xpress / Adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder help illuminate a dire need for effective housing
Canadian adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) experience compounding barriers to housing because of a systemic misunderstanding of the disability, resulting in a dire need for change. This is among the findings ...
Tech Xplore / Oil field model helps assess recovery potential of Venezuela's extra-heavy oil
Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and Khalifa University of Science and Technology, together with their Venezuelan colleagues in the oil industry, have built a verified numerical model that will refine ...
