Germany’s Economy Minister, Robert Habeck, has presented a plan to cap the price of electricity used by energy-intensive industries. The move aims to insulate the sector against sharp cost increases. However, the proposal has already sparked criticism. The cap would be set at €0.06 ($0.07) per gigawatt-hour (GWh) and would apply until 2030. At least

Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor known for its aggressiveness and difficulty to treat. However, a new hydrogel treatment has shown promising results in eliminating glioblastoma tumors in mice. The Hydrogel Treatment The hydrogel treatment uses paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug, to create nano-sized filaments for insertion into the brain. The hydrogel covers the cancer cavity

Researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have discovered that senior dogs with cognitive decline experience disruptions similar to those found in people with Alzheimer’s disease. This study suggests that dogs could provide a good model for research on Alzheimer’s. The Study The researchers recorded the brain waves of 28 senior dogs, some with cognitive

The Moon is not the only object orbiting Earth; there are a small number of quasi-satellites that do as well. Kamo’oalewa is a near-Earth asteroid that was discovered in 2016, and it is one of these quasi-satellites. Its orbit changes over time, but it always stays near Earth. It reflects light the same way the

Los Alamos scientists have achieved light amplification using electrically driven devices based on solution-cast semiconductor nanocrystals. These tiny specs of semiconductor matter are made through chemical synthesis, also known as colloidal quantum dots. This breakthrough, reported in the journal Nature, opens the door to a completely new class of electrically pumped lasing devices. These laser

Photosynthesis is a crucial process for sustaining life on earth, but many aspects of it remain a mystery. Scientists have been working to unlock the secrets of photosynthesis for years, and now researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have succeeded in cracking a key secret of

Researchers at the University of Connecticut have discovered a method for creating topological superconductors by manipulating quantum particles in thin layers of ordinary superconductors. Superconductors can conduct electric current without any resistance or energy loss, making them a potential game-changer in many fields, from energy transmission to quantum computing to MRI machines. However, creating superconductors

A team of surgeons from two US hospitals have successfully repaired a major malformation in a fetal brain. The surgery, which was guided by ultrasound and involved embolization, treated a rare prenatal condition known as vein of Galen malformation. This condition allows blood to flow dangerously fast through the brain after birth. The successful procedure
