Tech Xplore / AI-based method can optimize photovoltaic-battery storage systems
Solar power generation largely depends on weather conditions. When generation deviates from the planned output, the electricity market imposes penalty fees called "imbalance penalties." Researchers at University of Tsukuba ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal mechanisms of synthetic microbial consortium for soil remediation
A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has clarified the structure and function of synthetic microbial consortia, providing new insights for bioremediation of complex ...
Medical Xpress / Receptor in cerebellum provides new insights into molecular basis of ataxia
Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, identified a receptor that plays a crucial role in stress-induced motor incoordination associated with ataxias. These hereditary motor disorders have long been linked to the ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover hidden plant-microbe strategy that boosts crop growth under nutrient stress
Scientists have uncovered a surprising strategy plants use to thrive when an essential nutrient—sulfur—is in short supply.
Phys.org / Vole teeth reveal how a simple change can create complex new features over time
At a time when biodiversity is under severe pressure from human activities, understanding how evolution works is more important than ever. A new study about vole teeth, published in PNAS, reveals that evolution doesn't always ...
Medical Xpress / Fruity fly study uncovers neural circuits for sensing the pleasantness or unpleasantness of odors
Researchers led by Hokto Kazama at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered how animals sense whether things smell pleasant or unpleasant, one of the abilities that allow us to appreciate the flavor ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered stem cells yield millions of tumor-fighting natural killer cells at reduced cost
Chinese researchers have developed a novel method to efficiently engineer natural killer (NK) cells for cancer immunotherapy. NK cells are central to early antiviral and anticancer defense—among other immune system roles—making ...
Phys.org / Autonomous robot glider to circle the globe in historic ocean mission
Guided by the rhythms of the sea and the promise of discovery, Teledyne Marine and Rutgers University will set Redwing, an autonomous underwater vehicle, on its journey on Friday, Oct. 10, leading to its launch into the Atlantic ...
Tech Xplore / Prototype LED as thin as wallpaper can glow like the sun
Light bulbs come in many shapes and styles: globes, twists, flame-like candle tips and long tubes. But there aren't many thin options. Now, researchers report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that they have created a ...
Phys.org / New report urges critical action to address growing biosecurity risks
In a new report, scholars from the Hoover Institution propose measures to secure biology now and in perpetuity.
Medical Xpress / Ketamine found to be safe, effective for chronic pain
Low-dose IV infusions of ketamine are safe and effective in treating chronic pain, a new study says.
Medical Xpress / During the 'tripledemic,' some hospitals overflowed while others had empty beds
In the fall of 2022, hospitals across the U.S. saw a severe spike in cases of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a phenomenon that became known as the "tripledemic."
