The best redox flow battery tech Batteries based on vanadium or zinc bromide represent the cutting edge of redox flow storage tech, an international research team has claimed. They have identified challenges and opportunities for about a dozen redox flow storage technologies, while providing estimates of their current and projected levelized costs of storage.Researchers from the University of Burgos in Spain, Italy's University of Padua, Finland's Aalto University, the University of West Bohemia Pilsen in Czechia, and the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) have conducted a compreh...

Hypoxia signaling pathway could lead to COVID-19 treatments Researchers in Spain have demonstrated that studying the hypoxia signaling pathway could provide opportunities for treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The team conducted a study showing that hypoxic (oxygen-deficient) conditions reduced the expression of host cell receptors for the causative agent – severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Hypoxic conditions reduced expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) – the primary host cell receptor required for viral attachment and entry. They als...
