A research team has succeeded in developing a non-flammable gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) that is set to revolutionize the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by mitigating the risks of thermal runaway and fire incidents.
A new study finds that greenspace — the vegetation in a neighborhood’s yards, parks and public spaces — has a positive impact on a key genetic marker associated with exposure to stress. However, the study also finds that the positive impact of greens…
While useful for killing pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, 222-nanometer UV lights may produce harmful compounds in indoor spaces, and should be used with ventilation, researchers have found.
Investigators found that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can detect an abnormal heart rhythm in people not yet showing symptoms. The algorithm, which identified hidden signals in common medical diagnostic testing, may help doctors better prev…
Colder is not always better for energy-hungry data centers, especially when it comes to their power bills. A new analysis says that keeping the centers at 41°C, or around 105°F, could save up to 56% in cooling costs worldwide. The study proposes new te…
Power grids — the web of electrical networks that sprawl across countries and continents — are under stress. Extreme weather events and volatile energy demands often push the system to the brink. Although these high-impact events can be very damaging…
Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain cancer, is notoriously resistant to treatment, with recurrent GBM associated with survival of less than 10 months. Immunotherapies, which mobilize the body’s immune defenses against a cancer, have not been effect…
When stacked in five layers in a rhombohedral pattern, graphene takes on a rare ‘multiferroic’ state, exhibiting both unconventional magnetism and an exotic electronic behavior known as ferro-valleytricity.
A research group has developed a new method for studying how cancer cells function in softer and stiffer tissue environments. This insight challenges the existing paradigm, opening up new possibilities for research in cancer biology and tissue engineer…
An advanced new three-dimensional (3D) computer simulation of the light emitted following a merger of two neutron stars has produced a similar sequence of spectroscopic features to an observed kilonova. ‘
The changing information technology industry, latest artificial intelligence applications, high demand for IT professionals, and evolving need for learning are leading to the search for innovations in education that will allow current and future employ…
Injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), located in the knee, are typically thought to be caused by acute traumatic events, such as sudden twists. New work analyzing an animal model of ACLs suggests that such injuries can also occur as a resul…
A new study looked at 926 polygenic risk scores for 310 diseases. It found that, on average, only 11% of individuals who develop disease are identified, while at the same time 5% of people who do not develop the disease test positive. Unaffected people…
A team has identified an essential internal control mechanism that can promote the maturation of human stem cell-derived heart muscle cells, possibly leading to new therapies for heart disease and cardiac damage.
Research shows start-up founders have distinct personality traits, and they’re more important to the success of their companies than previously thought.
Research identifies links between gut bacteria, inflammation and brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that Alzheimer’s symptoms can be transferred via the gut microbiota.
