Perovskite solar cells have come along in leaps and bounds since they were first described in 2009, with efficiencies improving from around four percent to the mid- or even high twenties in recent designs. One drawback, however, is the notorious instab… Continue reading Old pigment brings some stability to new perovskite solar cell design
With our consumption of meat continuing to place a huge strain on the environment, the emergence of lab-grown alternatives is beginning to pick up steam. A world-first regulatory approval today should help things along, with food tech startup Eat Just’… Continue reading Lab-grown chicken on the menu in Singapore after world-first approval
The more we know about the problem of plastic pollution, the better we’ll be able to intervene and clean up, or even prevent, the mess. That includes understanding the way it moves through the marine environment, and a new study has shed further light … Continue reading Tagged plastic bottles reveal the path of plastic through the ocean
Hyundai Motor Group has revealed a new platform that will serve as the backbone for its next-generation electric vehicles, whether they be sedans, SUVs or something in between. The company’s new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) will offer some … Continue reading Hyundai rolls out E-GMP platform for its next-gen electric vehicles
Scientists studying the mechanisms behind cellular stress and its effects on aging have found success in reversing cognitive decline in mice using an experimental drug. The findings not only bode well for further study of aging and its effects in human… Continue reading Drug reboots protein production to reverse age-related cognitive decline
A landmark mission to collect rocks and dust from the surface of the Moon is progressing as planned, with China’s Chang’e-5 lander safely touching down on the lunar surface nine days after lift-off. If the next phases of the mission prove equally succe… Continue reading China’s Chang’e-5 lunar sampler makes it to the Moon
Virgin Orbit is preparing its pilots, Cosmic Girl mothership and LauncherOne rocket for a second attempt at orbital flight, today announcing that its Launch Demo 2 mission will take place a week before Christmas.

Blood tests are starting to show real potential as a way of detecting Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages, with a number of studies producing highly promising results in the past couple of years. Joining them is a new test that can analyze markers in the blood of those with mild memory loss to determine the risk of them going on to develop Alzheimer’s within two to four years.
