As renewable energy becomes the foundation of electricity systems around the world, the importance of stationary battery storage is no longer in question. Lithium-ion batteries are being deployed at ...

The accelerated degradation of the Brazilian Amazon, primarily due to fires, has overshadowed the significant reduction in deforestation from 2022 to 2024. This "negative balance" in protecting the ...

A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has investigated the degradation mechanisms of industrial TOPCon solar modules encapsulated with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) under ...

This Tesla Model Y has a little under 100,000 miles on the clock. Despite the relatively low mileage, the battery pack has a higher-than-average degradation. Electric vehicle batteries are pretty ...

Researchers from UNSW and Longi have found that the silicon nitride layers used in TOPCon cell rear-side are particularly prone to chemical degradation from sodium contaminants. This can lead to ...

A specimen capsule similar to this one from the Callaway Unit 1 reactor was used to provide real data to validate the degradation and remaining life model (Source: Fractesus) The integrity of a ...

Targeted protein degradation is a therapeutic strategy that utilizes the cell’s natural machinery to eliminate disease-causing proteins. The field traces its origins to the development of thalidomide ...

Fleet managers understand the importance of reliable vehicle performance, predictable maintenance cycles, and total cost of ownership (TCO). In the electric vehicle (EV) world, those KPIs still exist, ...

Like a well-run city, healthy cells recycle their waste, breaking down and reusing damaged proteins. In the January 29 Nature, scientists led by Jeffrey Bode and Jacob Corn at the Swiss Federal ...
