Researchers developed a high-solubility pyrene tetraone derivative (PTO-PTS) that enhances AOFB energy density and stability. This monomer enables reversible four-electron storage, achieving 90 Ah/L and maintaining 100% capacity retention after 5,200 cycles. Aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs) are a promising technology for integrating renewable energy and enhancing electricity grid storage, thanks to their inherent safety […]

A recent study reveals that an antibiotic used for liver disease patients may increase their risk of contracting a dangerous superbug. An international team of researchers has discovered that rifaximin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic for liver disease patients, is contributing to the global rise of a highly resistant strain of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE). This […]

A new study led by researchers from UCL and the University of Ljubljana reveals that ancient Egyptian mummified bodies emit “woody,” “spicy,” and “sweet” scents, providing new insights into mummification practices.

HPV isn’t just a concern for women — it’s actually more common in men and is driving a rise in dangerous cancers, including those of the throat and tongue. A new survey reveals major gaps in public knowledge, with many mistakenly believing HPV only affects women or that symptoms will warn them. Experts stress the […]

For decades, seismologists have worked to understand and predict earthquakes, but forecasting remains elusive. Now, scientists are investigating an intriguing link between solar activity and seismic events. Using advanced models, researchers found that fluctuations in solar heat impact Earth’s surface temperature, potentially affecting tectonic movements. This effect, while not the primary cause of earthquakes, could […]
