The energy storage solution uses inexpensive carbon blocks that are inexpensive to make and easy to scale.

MIT alumni David Bierman and Jordan Kearns have joined hands to build a thermal battery that lets industrial users rely on renewable energy round the clock, a university press release said. The duo, who studied at the university during the last decade had set up separate companies in the field of renewable energy that have now merged and could see joint projects become operational as early as 2025.

As renewable energy installations such as solar and wind have increased recently, increased production and lower demand during parts of the day have resulted in low electricity prices. Although this is good news for end-use customers, it dampens investments in the sector.

Australian researchers have developed a new method to reprogram human cells to better mimic embryonic stem cells called transient-naive-treatment (TNT).

Stem cells, serving as a repair system for our body, generate all other cells with specialized functions. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.

In a scientific advancement in the 2000s, it was discovered that somatic cells, which are responsible for the growth and development of an organism, could be artificially reprogrammed into a state that resembles embryonic stem (ES) cells, also known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These cells can then generate any cell in the body.

A genetically modified pig kidney transplanted into a brain-dead man on life support has exhibited regular functioning for over a month, showing no signs of rejection or infection.

A new milestone in animal-to-human organ transplants in the United States has been achieved.

A gene-edited pig kidney implanted into a brain-dead man on life support has been functioning normally for over a month with no signs of rejection or infection.

Older adults with more severe behavioral symptoms, including agitation, aggression, and disinhibition, are more likely to become divorced than those with less severe symptoms. However, increasing stages of dementia are associated with a low likelihood of divorce. These are some of the conclusions of a new study published August 16 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Joan Monin of the Yale School of Public Health and colleagues.

In recent years, divorce has been on the rise among older adults. Moreover, can be difficult for married couples for many reasons, including the introduction of caregiving burden, loss of intimacy, and financial strain.

In a new study, researchers analyzed data from 37 NIA/NIH Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRCs) across the US. The final study included 263 married or living-as– who were divorced or separated during their follow up period at an ADRC, as well as 1,238 age-matched controls.

O.o!!!

This isn’t unsettling at all.

The infamous murder hornet was discovered in North America for the first time ever in 2019, and the response was understandably fear because of the insect’s name and reputation.

Well, now we have its cousin to worry about, as the Asian hornet (also known as the yellow-legged hornet) has apparently been found in the United States for the first time in history. Oh, and just like the murder hornet, the Asian hornet throws down on honey bees at the dinner table.
