Tech Xplore / Molecular interface tweak unlocks more reliable perovskite solar cells, challenging common assumption
Perovskite solar cells are a rapidly advancing photovoltaic technology that has seen a dramatic rise in power conversion efficiency in recent years. A key driver of this progress is the use of molecular charge-selective contacts—ultrathin ...
Phys.org / Researchers find providing a 'solution package' for customers may actually weaken buyer-supplier relationships
New research from The University of Alabama in Huntsville, a part of The University of Alabama System, challenges a long-held assumption in business: that offering services in a solution package strengthens relationships ...
Tech Xplore / How everyday devices could train AI faster while keeping personal data on-device
A new method developed by MIT researchers can accelerate a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence training method by about 81%. This advance could enable a wider array of resource-constrained edge devices, like sensors ...
Phys.org / New laws cut cannabis arrests, but racial disparities persist
While recreational cannabis laws have significantly reduced arrests for cannabis possession and sales, racial disparities in arrests still exist, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine, Instituto Tecnológico ...
Phys.org / Synchrotron safety monitoring sheds light on dark photons
A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has proposed using safety monitoring at synchrotron facilities to study the properties of dark photons, hypothetical particles proposed to explain dark matter. Calculations show ...
Tech Xplore / Upgraded wave-energy modeling tools could lead to more robust, seaworthy devices
Wave energy technologies can provide reliable, local power for autonomous underwater vehicles, and at-sea applications across U.S. coastal regions, especially where traditional energy supply is limited or costly. Although ...
Phys.org / Intimate partner violence is a hidden contributor to women's suicide
Australians are familiar with the disturbing statistics of intimate partner homicide: one Australian woman is killed every 11 days, on average, by a current or former intimate partner.
Medical Xpress / Magic tricks can reduce stress, pain and anxiety for children during vaccinations
Injections can be a source of stress and anxiety for children. The Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital is exploring ways to improve the experience. Together with illusionist Victor Mids and researchers from Leiden, they ...
Medical Xpress / Not all Alzheimer's leads to dementia: The mystery of cognitive resilience
Some brains resist Alzheimer's, even when the disease is already present. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have found that this likely depends on how specific brain cells, known as immature neurons, ...
Medical Xpress / Koala vaccine offers clues to solving human health challenge
A vaccine first developed to protect koalas from a devastating disease is now offering rare insights that could help accelerate human vaccine development for one of the world's most common sexually transmitted infections.
Phys.org / Zinc–redox crosstalk: A new key to cellular protein quality control
Zinc is an essential trace element that controls myriad biological processes. The delicate balance of its concentration in the body is critical; both deficiency and excess are linked to severe pathological states such as ...
Science X / These sharks are doing a climate job no satellite, buoy, or ship can handle alone
A new study published in the journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science shows that electronically tagged sharks can serve as mobile sensors, collecting ocean climate data in regions that are difficult to observe using conventional ...
