Osteoarthritis is one of the most expensive and disabling conditions in modern medicine, driving joint replacements and ...

A new study identified taurine, an ingredient both naturally produced in the body and found in energy drinks and foods, boosts the growth of leukemia cells. The researchers tested both mouse and human ...

Some people like to say outer space is a starry frontier of vast emptiness, but clearly they’ve never tried launching a satellite. Sixty-five years after Sputnik, some 8,000 low-Earth orbit (LEO) ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found a new way to stick different layers of tandem solar cells and achieved ...

Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist with nearly two decades of newsroom experience. She is also the co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel ...

Scientists captured clear images of biomolecules in single live cells in water for the first time using infrared (IR) transmission imaging. The IR technique enables researchers to measure the mass of ...

Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is a power generation technology that uses thermal radiation to generate electricity in photovoltaic cells. A TPV system generally consists of a thermal emitter that can ...

PV cells are primarily composed of semiconductor materials that have a higher conductivity than insulators. However, these materials are not good conductors of electricity like metals. Different types ...
