Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells achieve 27.2% efficiency with improved chlorine distribution
In recent years, perovskite has emerged as a promising solution for cheaper, more efficient solar energy. This advanced synthetic material is made from crystals that mimic the naturally occurring crystal perovskite (calcium ...
Medical Xpress / How a key protein helps drive healthy longevity by maintaining a precise balance
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered how the longevity-associated protein Sirt6 orchestrates a delicate molecular balancing act that protects the body from age-related decline and disease. The new findings, ...
Phys.org / New cable design mitigates flaws in superconducting wires
When current flows through a wire, it doesn't always have a perfect path. Tiny defects within the wire mean current must travel a more circuitous route, a problem for engineers and manufacturers seeking reliable equipment.
Medical Xpress / Tracing schizophrenia's origins: Study maps chromatin accessibility in postmortem brain tissue
Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, false beliefs about oneself or the world (i.e., delusions), and other disruptions in thought, emotion and perception. Recent genetic studies ...
Medical Xpress / Use of head CT scans in ERs more than doubles over 15 years
A new study shows large increases in the use of computed tomography (CT) scans of the head in emergency departments across the United States from 2007 to 2022. The study, which was published on November 19, 2025, in Neurology, ...
Phys.org / Wine grape still carries molecular memory of its ancestry after 400 years, study finds
About 400 years ago, a cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc gave birth to cabernet sauvignon. Today, cabernet sauvignon is the world's most-planted wine grape, dominating vineyards from Napa to Bordeaux. New research ...
Phys.org / Physicists drive antihydrogen breakthrough at CERN with record trapping technique
Physicists from Swansea University have played the leading role in a scientific breakthrough at CERN, developing an innovative technique that increases the antihydrogen trapping rate by a factor of ten.
Phys.org / Ancient and colonial legacies continue to shape Amazon forest biodiversity today
Human influence across centuries continues to define biodiversity and carbon storage in the world's largest rainforest, according to a new international study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
Phys.org / CT scans reveal hidden details of ancient copper smelting in early Iran
About 5,000 years ago, people living in what is now Iran began extracting copper from rock by processing ore, an activity known as smelting. This monumental shift gave them a powerful new technology and may have marked the ...
Medical Xpress / Flexible organic electrodes convert infrared light into nerve signals in damaged retinas
In an important step toward visual prostheses, biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as demonstrated by a team at TU Wien.
Medical Xpress / Chronic inflammation in bone marrow linked to early blood cancer development
Blood cancers such as leukemia are caused by genetic changes in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow. Scientists at the University Medical Center Mainz have now shown how chronic inflammation can alter the bone ...
Phys.org / Sharper MRI scans may be on horizon thanks to new physics-based model
Researchers at Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have unveiled a physics-based model of magnetic resonance relaxation that bridges molecular-scale dynamics with macroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
