A problem with the current generation of silicon solar cells is their relatively low efficiency at converting solar energy into electricity, said Vikram Dalal,…
NASA missions like the space telescope Kepler have helped us document thousands of exoplanets – planets that orbit around other stars. And current NASA…
The transition from fossil fuels to a renewable energy supply is one of the most important global challenges of the 21st century. In order to achieve the…
Blood flow in the human body is generally assumed to be smooth due to its low speed and high viscosity. Unsteadiness in blood flow is linked to various…
Ethanol has five times higher volumetric energy density (6.7 kWh/L) than hydrogen (1.3 kWh/L) and can be used safely in fuel cells for power generation. In…
Applying a new strategy, researchers at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have found a substance that facilitates the controlled death of cancer cells.
Counter-intuitive: high pressure creates cavities

Allergic reactions can occur without being triggered by an allergen such as grass or birch pollen – it is enough for the patient to be back in the same place…
Imagine having table salt, and wanting to form crystals of a desirable structure. The salt can be heated to its melting point which would take a lot of energy,…
The ability to visualize forces can be very useful in many industries, particularly heavy manufacturing and shipping. For example, a color-changing material…
The new development, recently reported in the scientific journal Nature Communications, was led by Christopher Li, PhD, a professor in Drexel's College of…
