Researchers have overcome the conductivity limitations of polymer electrolytes by employing a dual-strategy design that combines a plasticiser with a protective interface layer. The resulting battery demonstrates remarkable stability and performance even at sub-zero temperatures.
High-resolution satellites identified over 3,000 energy sites responsible for massive methane output in 2023. Coal facilities emitted significantly more frequently than oil and gas infrastructure, active nearly half the time they were observed.
Researchers have successfully engineered a circuit where single photons interact via a quantum dot, overcoming a fundamental limitation of light-based computing. This programmable system allows for complex nonlinear operations necessary for simulating molecular dynamics.
Researchers have identified and resolved a microscopic insulating barrier within the hole transport layer of solar cells. By introducing Triton X-100, the team achieved a record 25.4% efficiency, paving the way for high-performance wearable and aerospace photovoltaics.
Researchers demonstrated that a single dose of an adenine base editor, delivered via AAV9, successfully corrected the pathogenic mutation in a mouse model of ADPKD. The study highlights that both broad and kidney-specific gene editing can delay cyst growth and improve survival rates.
Researchers have mapped the atomic structure of cerebellar AMPA receptors, revealing distinct compositions for neurons and glia. The findings explain how specific protein arrangements dictate calcium permeability and synaptic delivery.
Researchers have identified N4BP2 as a cytoplasmic enzyme that enters ruptured micronuclei to fragment DNA. This process drives chromothripsis and the formation of extrachromosomal DNA, fueling rapid tumour evolution and growth.
New research reveals that nerve insulation does more than simply accelerate signals; it preserves the rhythm of high-speed neural bursts. Without this protective layer, the precise timing required for sensory processing falls apart.
Researchers have identified how two distinct inputs from the lateral entorhinal cortex work in synergy to regulate memory circuits in mice. By balancing excitation and inhibition, these pathways stabilise spatial maps essential for long-term learning.
Researchers report that thermal infrared radiation serves as a specific pollination signal for beetles, facilitated by mitochondrial heating and specialised antennal sensors. The data suggests this sensory modality may be an ancient precursor to visual cues.
Researchers have identified a dual-signal mechanism in mice where long-range inputs balance excitation and inhibition to stabilise spatial memories. This push-pull dynamic ensures that neuronal maps remain consistent over time.
