“Especially in children, we must always weigh the benefits of early treatment for HIV infection against the risks, which can range from long-term toxicity or…
“This practice-changing study is the first to show that the timing of surgery after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) matters,” says Alexander Vaccaro, MD,…
The Hercules galaxy cluster (also known as Abell 2151) lies about 500 million light-years away in the constellation of Hercules. It is unlike other nearby…
Wetlands created to replace those lost to environmental degradation or development take up carbon from the atmosphere and so potentially reduce greenhouse…

In vehicles built with this new technology, the driver assistance, safety, and infotainment features will mostly be installed as software instead of being…
Siemens has a 16-percent stake in the U.S. start-up and wants to develop the technology further. Production of the modules is scheduled to begin in mid-2012. The record was measured under standardized test conditions in a joint project with the Spanish Instituto de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos de Concentración and the University of Madrid. Classic PV modules made of mono- or poly-crystalline silicon and without concentrating lenses currently achieve efficiency ratings of approximately 20 percent and 16 percent, respectively….
