Quantum Batteries Could Provide a New Kind of Energy Storage by Messing With Time

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

In a typical battery, charged ions zip one way through a sea of other particles as the battery recharges, before racing back in the other direction to release the stored energy on cue.

Back and forth the ions go, some getting diverted along the way, until the capacity of the battery is drained, and it loses energy too quickly to be of any use.

But physicists, good on them, are imagining new ways of storing energy in handy portable devices by drawing on a strange quantum phenomenon that twists time, amongst other unusual happenings.

Defying Genetics: How One Patient’s Unique Mutation Offers New Hopes in Alzheimer’s Prevention

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, neuroscience

Breaking link between early, late stages of disease may prevent dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease has plagued one large Colombian family for generations, striking down half of its members in the prime of life. But one member of that family evaded what had seemed would be fate: Despite inheriting the genetic defect that caused her relatives to develop dementia in their 40s, she stayed cognitively healthy into her 70s.
