Tweet Researchers in Switzerland at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology engineered cells, have reached a method to control the insulin level in mice by light, using a protein from a human retina “melanopsin”. That may be a breakthrough in the production of biological drugs, like the drugs for cancer. The idea lies in enabling precise [...]
Tweet Stanford University has designed through Solar Junction company high-efficiency, multi-junction solar cells for concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) solar collectors. The new concept convert sunlight into electricity efficiently using different materials than the usual silicon cell and multiple semiconductors within a single package. The costs will become down as regard of the efficiency improvements and higher [...]
Tweet Scientists of Northern Illinois University (NIU) announced about a new green, simple, cheaper and safe method for producing the graphene than the used ways like splitting graphite crystals or heating silicon to high temperatures. Ahead of the team is Narayan Hosmane. The new method just involves burning pure magnesium in dry ice, the new carbon [...]
Tweet Cheaper, safer, lighter And greener zinc plastic batteries for electric and hybrid cars, that what the scientists of polyzion were busy trying to develop. Trying to avoid the expensive, known to catch fire and heavy used batteries nowadays. Combining the fundamental material and process advances in ionic liquids, rechargeable zinc electrodes, ultra-fast pulse charge injection [...]
Tweet Using NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) spacecraft, professor Jie Zhang and his graduate student Xin Cheng from George Mason University discovered that phenomenon called a giant magnetic rope is the cause of solar storms. Confirming the existence of this formation is a key first step in helping to mitigate the adverse effects that solar storm eruptions [...]
Tweet Patients of oral cancer – which involves the cancer that occur on the tongue, on the floor/ roof of the mouth, cheek lining, gums, or lips – those patients suffer from bacterial or fungal infections in the mouth as a side effect of losing immunity due to the cancer treatments especially the bacteria known as Staphylococcus aureus which [...]
Tweet GE announced that they start a new plant in Turkey by the year 2015, that is going to be a breakthrough that will solve the problem of the sudden drops of the renewable energy sources. The new idea lies in combining between natural gas, the solar energy and wind energy to produce [...]
Tweet Athletes and children are the most exposed people to injure their meniscus due to their activeness. Teared meniscus could be a problem if the tear is large, in such cases there must be a surgical interference and in some cases might need a whole removal of the meniscus and placed by artificial one. The [...]
Tweet Emile Greenhalgh’s laboratory at Imperial College London researchers have modified a model of a hybrid vehicle to increase the amount of electrical energy it can store by adding body components that double as capacitors, devices that hold an electrical charge until they are tapped. On the same time designers of full-scale electric vehicles are [...]
Tweet University of Michigan researchers could lead to a new solar power without traditional semiconductor-based solar cells. The researchers of the university Stephen Rand, a professor in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Physics and Applied Physics and William Fisher, a doctoral student in applied physics have used the magnetic waves which was thought before [...]
