Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

A hefty portable power bank is a handy thing to DIY, but one needs to get their hands on a number of matching lithium-ion cells to make it happen. [Chris Doel] points out an easy solution: salvage ...

A new way to grow stem cells may help them release more of the signaling proteins they use to repair tissue, potentially improving future treatments. Scientists have developed a technique that aligns ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system's T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...

Efficient battery management becomes increasingly important as demand for portable power continues to rise, especially since balanced cells help ensure safety, high performance, and a longer battery ...

NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

Researchers from the University of Arkansas in the United States have fabricated a graphene-based solar cell that can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device was developed in the ...

A confined cancer cell, where the mitochondria (in magenta) can be seen accumulating at the nuclear periphery (nucleus shown in cyan) and within nuclear 'dimples' (indentations). Cancer cells mount an ...

For decades, fuel cell innovation has been guided by two main benchmarks: cost per kilowatt and stack durability. These remain important, especially in applications driven almost entirely by project ...
