A study in Science has tied the aging process to the deterioration of tightly packaged bundles of cellular DNA known as heterochromatinand say that the genetic mutations underlying Werner syndrome, a disorder that leads to premature aging and death, results in the deterioration of these bundles.
The team successfully harvested energy from air humidity in a predictable and continuous manner, and they say the tech can be applied broadly.
THE WASHINGTON POST – Nearly any material can be used to turn the energy in air humidity into electricity, scientists found in a discovery that could lead to continuously producing clean energy with little pollution. The research, published in a paper in Advanced Materials, builds on 2020 work that first showed energy could be pulled […]
A research team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has successfully generated energy out of thin air. How it started: The team first discovered the possibility in 2018 while working on a sensor for air humidity. Senior author Jun Yao told the Guardian that it all started when a student forgot to plug in the sensor’s power.
“Air humidity is a vast, sustainable reservoir of energy that, unlike solar and wind, is continuously available,” said the study, which was published recently in the journal Advanced Mater...
