Prototype gravity-based energy storage system begins construction

As renewable energy generation grows, so does the need for new storage methods that can be used at times when the Sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. A Scottish company called Gravitricity has now broken ground on a demonstrator facility for a… Continue reading Prototype gravity-based energy storage system begins construction→

Cancer immunotherapy hunts down hidden HIV in mouse study

HIV is an insidious virus, able to hibernate inside infected cells ready to re-emerge if treatment is stopped. Now, a team of researchers has found a way to shrink that viral reservoir by adapting a cancer immunotherapy technique to supercharge immune … Continue reading Cancer immunotherapy hunts down hidden HIV in mouse study→

Cosmic rays can destabilize quantum computers, MIT study warns

Quantum computers are advancing at an exciting pace, but unfortunately this progress may soon stall. Cosmic rays streaming down to Earth could interfere with the integrity of the information in these quantum computers, and now an MIT team has shown jus… Continue reading Cosmic rays can destabilize quantum computers, MIT study warns→

Inkjet-printed ultrathin solar cells ditch rare minerals

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have developed thin, organic solar cells with a few advantages over others of their type. The new solar cells are more efficient, made using more common elements, and can be inkjet-printed onto surfaces, making them light an… Continue reading Inkjet-printed ultrathin solar cells ditch rare minerals→

Andromeda’s “halo” already bumping into Milky Way’s ahead of collision

There’s more to galaxies than meets the eye, and now astronomers have mapped out a huge invisible region of the galaxy next door. Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have detailed the size and structure of the gas halo of Andromeda – and found t… Continue reading Andromeda’s “halo” already bumping into Milky Way’s ahead of collision→

Microscopic robot would use laser pulses to walk through the body

One day microscopic robots could be crawling through your body, clearing out disease or delivering drugs. And now we’re one step closer to that future, as scientists from Cornell University have created tiny robots powered by pulses of laser light.Cont… Continue reading Microscopic robot would use laser pulses to walk through the body→

Bacterial colonies survive in space for years, could seed planets

A new experiment placing bacteria on the outside of the International Space Station (ISS) has found that micro-organisms can survive in space for years, or even decades. The study lends weight to the idea that life could travel between planets.Continue… Continue reading Bacterial colonies survive in space for years, could seed planets→
