It’s no secret that ambient temperature can have a significant impact on the performance of battery electric vehicles and temperature differences can therefore have a major impact in the range of said EVs. To combat this Volvo has equipped its C30 Electric (which started out as the Recharge Concept) with three climate systems including a bio-ethanol powered heater and

It should be possible to use it for developing antidotes and decontamination agents   Computational design of new enzymes could lead to cheap and efficient degradation strategies for chemical warfare agents that we have not seen yet Custom-designed proteins made with the aid of computers could fight chemical weapons such as nerve gas and help

The buildup of scar tissue makes recovery from torn rotator cuffs, jumper’s knee, and other tendon injuries a painful, challenging process, often leading to secondary tendon ruptures. New research led by Carnegie’s Chen-Ming Fan and published in Nature Cell Biology reveals the existence of tendon stem cells that could potentially be harnessed to improve tendon healing and

Massive MIMO is an antenna technology that is considered the most promising for future superfast 5G networks, although researchers have until now believed that there is an upper limit for how much data can be transferred. LiU researcher Emil Björnson has shown that there is no such limit. Pilot Contamination The massive MIMO technology aroused

Media can change stereotypes that discourage women from entering many fields The ‘computer nerd’ is a well-known stereotype in our modern society. While this stereotype is inaccurate, it still has a chilling effect on women pursuing a qualification in computer science, according to a new paper by Sapna Cheryan from the University of Washington in the US,

Test for Gene Fusion Can Assist in the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer A new urine test can help aid early detection of and treatment decisions about prostate cancer, a study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology finds. The test supplements an elevated prostate specific antigen,

“Cornell Dots” — brightly glowing nanoparticles — may soon be used to light up cancer cells to aid in diagnosing and treating cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first clinical trial in humans of the new technology. It is the first time the FDA has approved using an inorganic material

Sandia, University of California project aimed at reducing cost of hydrogen fuel cells Replacing your everyday gas guzzler with a hydrogen fueled car could drastically reduce your carbon footprint. So why don’t we all make the switch? One of reasons we don’t is the expensive platinum catalyst required to operate hydrogen fuel cells efficiently. Research

A pair of “smart glasses” might help blind people navigate an unfamiliar environment by recognizing objects or translating signs into speech, scientists say. The majority of registered blind people have some residual abilityto perceive light and motion. But assistive technologies for the visually impaired have been limited. Now, researchers from Oxford University in England are developing a set

Yale scientists have developed an ultra-thin coating material that has the potential to extend the life and improve the efficiency of lithium-sulfur batteries, one of the most promising areas of energy research today. In a study published online March 20 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers describe the new material —
