Key Points: Perovskites match silicon solar efficiency despite having many structural defects. Researchers found that these defects actually help transport electricity. Internal boundaries called "domain walls" prevent energy loss. A new silver staining technique allowed scientists to see these networks....
Key Points: Low oxygen levels drastically lower blood sugar in mice and humans. Red blood cells act as a hidden "sink" for consuming glucose. Hypoxia tricks bone marrow into creating new, sugar-hungry cells. A chemical switch inside the cell speeds up sugar metabolism. Scientists have solved a biological mystery that could change how we treat diabetes. For years, researchers knew that people living at high...
Key Points: Chinese scientists developed a new, highly sensitive gas detection method. The technique uses parabolic mirrors instead of traditional lenses to collect light. The mirrors eliminate "blind spots" and capture much more signal. Advanced software helps extract weak gas signals from noisy backgrounds. A research team in China has developed a new way to detect tiny amounts of gas with much greater accuracy. Scientists...
Key Points: Scientists found evidence that empty space provides ingredients for matter. The study analyzed particle spins at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Real particles retained the "spin alignment" of virtual vacuum particles. The findings prove the quantum vacuum is full of fluctuating energy. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered new evidence about how "nothingness" transforms into the matter that...
