Self-discharge is a normally occurring phenomenon in lithium-ion battery cells. A normal cell may have a self-discharge rate of 1% state of charge (SOC) per month. The normal self-discharge rate is ...

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (FOX5/KUSI) — It’s a rare day in San Diego city politics when two sitting council members of the same political party have dueling news conferences with completely different takes on ...

A new method for measuring incredibly miniscule amounts of energy – less than a trillionth of a billionth of a joule – could give quantum computing and the hunt for dark matter a boost, while paving ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

Measure B would mandate voter ID, restrict absentee voting, and require hand-counting of ballots in Shasta County. A lawsuit argues the measure violates state law, while proponents maintain that ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they’ve been trying to engineer a cell that’s effective against solid tumors, which ...

A three-dimensional model of different organelle membranes created from high-resolution imaging data reveals that membranes vary in thickness. Darker colors indicate thicker regions of the membrane, ...

Allostatic load refers to wear and tear on the body that occurs over time due to chronic stress. Biomarkers such as cortisol, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers can help measure allostatic load.

Battery cell voltage is the most fundamental measurement made on the cell. While on the surface measuring voltage seems easy, challenges and accuracy considerations must be understood before your cell ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that can be used ...

Researchers at the University of Miyazaki in Japan used a new non-destructive method to enable them to investigate solar cell vibrations independently of module components. The study included ...

Prisons prioritize security over comfort. But concrete walls, steel doors, sealed windows, limited ventilation, lack of tree cover and outdated infrastructure converge to create dangerously hot ...
