Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells. These cells have high efficiency, are flexible, and can be printed, among other features. However, lead was initially ...

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel way to analyse the microstructure of carbon fibre paper, a key material in ...

Aluminum stress is an important factor limiting plant growth in acidic soil, and has significant effects on the growth, development and physiological metabolism of Mentha canadensis. However, the ...

The performance of lithium-ion batteries drops sharply in cold environments. Lithium titanium phosphate could provide a ...

Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ-for example, a ...

The suckers are also packed with sensory receptors that allow the octopus to taste and smell things that they touch—like combining a hand with a tongue and a nose. The researchers believe the ...

A student project has discovered superconductivity in polycrystalline iron-nickel-zirconide. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have identified a groundbreaking new superconducting ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...

Octopus arms are the ultimate multitaskers, bending, twisting, and curling with an impressive range of motion that would make a yoga instructor envious.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, have numerous practical applications in areas that include electronics in transistors, sensors and detectors; as battery and fuel cell electrodes; and ...
