Scientists have broken the efficiency record for tandem silicon-perovskite solar cells, surpassing the milestone of 30 percent for the first time. The new record takes the technology beyond the upper limits of silicon alone, using low-cost materials. Source of Article
Decarbonizing shipping is an enormous challenge, and green ammonia has some serious issues as marine fuel. It seems the industry is leaning toward methanol and dual-fuel setups as an early measure, so let's take a look at methanol's clean potential. Source of Article
Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Source of Article
An international team of researchers experimenting with the function of the endocannabinoid system have shown how it can be manipulated to combat obesity with the help of a synthetic peptide. Source of Article
Scientists have created a “quantum flute” that can coax photons to move in sync and interact with each other, which they almost never do in nature. The device could help improve future quantum computer designs. Source of Article
The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment lunar mission looks like it's back on track after a day of suspense as NASA and contractor Advanced Space re-establish radio contact with the CubeSat probe. Source of Article
Researchers at Caltech are reporting preclinical success with a universal coronavirus vaccine. The vaccine uses mosaic nanoparticle technology to protect not only against SARS-CoV-2 but also the original SARS, and several common cold coronaviruses. Source of Article
A new review has found repurposing some drugs currently used for ADHD and depression could offer improvements to cognitive symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The review focused on drugs developed to stimulate the brain’s noradrenaline system. Source of Article
Scientists have demonstrated an intriguing new variation on the CRISPR gene-editing system, which involves fixing a mutation on one chromosome by copying a healthy version from the other. “Nicking” the DNA also seemed to work better than cutting it. Source of Article
Scientists studying plastic pollution in the UK have turned their eye to small land mammals and found traces of the material in more than half the species sampled, with a seemingly equal distribution across locations and even dietary habits. Source of Article
