The mechanism of radiosensitizing effect of Semen podocarpi extract on CNE-2R cells is explored.
The joint team from Nankai University and Peking University has proposed a novel approach using annealing-driven reassembly of micro-bubbles to engineer controllable artificial potential landscapes in atomically thin semiconductors. This technique facilitates active spatiotemporal control of exciton dynamics at room temperature, opening new avenues for high-performance sensing, energy harvesting, and quantum information processing.
An international research team led by scientists from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered an exceptionally preserved phosphatic stromatoporoid sponge from the Early Ordovician, dating back about 480 million years, in Yuan'an, Yichang, South China.
As the world shifts towards greener transportation solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this transformation. However, one of the significant challenges facing EVs is the reliability and longevity of their lithium-ion batteries. A recent study by researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology introduces a novel method for detecting faults in both new and aged lithium-ion battery cells, ensuring the safety and efficiency of EVs throughout their lifespan.
As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to surge, ensuring the efficiency and safety of their battery systems has become a critical focus for researchers. A groundbreaking study from the Training and Workshops Center at the University of Technology, Baghdad, Iraq, introduces an innovative approach to predicting thermal heat flux distribution in EV battery cells. By combining finite element analysis (FEA) with neural network (NN) models, this research promises to enhance battery performance and longevity, paving the way for more reliable and sustainable electric transportation.
New research identifies the liver protein PTPRD as a key regulator of metabolic liver disease. Reduced levels of PTPRD disrupt glucose and lipid metabolism, promote liver fat accumulation, and impair insulin signaling. The findings indicate the potential of restoring PTPRD function as a novel treatment strategy for non-viral liver conditions such as MASLD and MASH.
Laser lighting, celebrated for its dazzling brightness and longevity, promises to revolutionize applications like automotive headlights and advanced projectors. Yet, a persistent challenge has dimmed its potential: the intense heat generated by high-power lasers causes fluorescent materials to overheat, reducing efficiency and risking damage. Now, a team from Northeastern University in China has cracked this thermal conundrum with an innovative “two-pronged approach,” detailed in a new study published in Journal of Advanced Ceramics.
