Researchers have uncovered new insights into electrochemical CO2 reduction, a process by which energy from the sun can be used to convert carbon dioxide into liquid fuels and other useful chemicals.
As lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to power electric vehicles and energy storage systems, their long-term health remains a critical challenge. A groundbreaking new method combines deep learning with physical modeling to deliver rapid, accurate degradation diagnosis at the electrode level. This innovative approach requires only 11 data points from a charging cycle, achieving reliable predictions in just 2.5 minutes. By simplifying the data needed and eliminating the need for specialized equipment, this technique offers a faster, more accessible solution to battery health monitoring鈥攑aving the way for safer, more efficient battery management in large-scale applications.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University have achieved a major breakthrough in measuring ultrafast laser pulses, overcoming a long-standing challenge in strong-field physics. Led by Dr. Eugene Frumker, the team developed a precise method to measure laser intensity and duration at the interaction point using ion analysis. This advancement improves accuracy in laser-driven experiments, paving the way for new discoveries in attosecond science and strong field physics.
A recent study has revealed that KIAA1199, a secreted protein produced by bone marrow cells, plays a crucial role in regulating both fat formation and overall energy metabolism. The protein's impact extends beyond bone remodeling, influencing glucose and lipid metabolism. Mice lacking KIAA1199 showed reduced fat mass, improved insulin sensitivity, and a decreased risk of obesity-related diseases. These findings suggest that targeting KIAA1199 could lead to new therapeutic strategies for combating metabolic disorders like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Researchers have developed a method to evaluate and optimize the design of multimode quantum computers. Superconducting quantum processors must be operated at extremely low temperatures, achieved using dilution refrigerators. In multimode computers, these refrigerators must be connected via optical links that shuttle fragile quantum information.
Inspired by a visit to ORNL鈥檚 Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, Jonaaron Jones launched a career in additive manufacturing that led to founding Volunteer Aerospace and now leading Beehive Industries鈥� external parts business.
Study introduces a new way to think about gravity - not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the universe is trying to stay organised Gravity is the result of a computational process within the universe Gravity may be caused by the way matter is organised in the universe
La sombra que se proyecta en medio del campo de estrellas de la imagen, y que se la conoce como nube molecular Circinus Oeste, corresponde a una guarder铆a estelar donde las estrellas incipientes se encienden a partir de zonas densas y fr铆as de gas y polvo, mientras que chorros de salida lanzan el material sobrante al espacio. El exquisito detalle de la fotograf铆a se logr贸 gracias a la C谩mara de Energ铆a Oscura de 570 megap铆xeles del Observatorio Cerro Tololo, en Chile, una de las c谩maras digitales m谩s poderosas en el mundo fabricada por el Departamento de Energ铆a de Estados Unidos.
A celestial shadow known as the Circinus West molecular cloud creeps across this image captured from Chile with the 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera 鈥� one of the most powerful digital cameras in the world. Within this stellar nursery's opaque boundaries, infant stars ignite within cold, dense gas and dust, while outflows hurtle leftover material into space.
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have demonstrated a working capability that can radically accelerate the testing of qubits 鈥� the quantum computing equivalent of bits 鈥� accomplishing in a matter of minutes what has previously taken days or even weeks.
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid鈥攁nd speed up the clean energy transition.
