The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the onset and progression of age-related diseases, and potential impacts of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) on aging, are not completely understood. Uncovering these mechanisms could lead to new clinical methods capable of reducing the development of age-related disease. Supported by a three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health, Aric F. Logsdon, Ph.D., from the TTUHSC School of Medicine will study how brain endothelial cells handle the stressors of neuroinflammation.
After Brexit, London slowed down investments in Europe. While Europe continues to focus on the United Kingdom. A recent study in Research Policy, co-authored by Vincenzo Butticè, Annalisa Croce and Andrea Odille Bosio from the Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, and Simone Signore and Andrea Crisanti of the European Investment Fund (EIF) shows these findings.
High-nickel cathodes are promising for improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their high nickel concentration leads to intense side reactions, degrading safety and stability. While full concentration gradient (FCG) design can address this issue, current approaches limit design flexibility. Now, researchers have developed a novel mathematical framework that, combined with an automated reactor system, allows unlimited customization of FCGs with independent parameter control, leading to LIBs with enhanced safety and stability.
Is it wizardry? Physicists at the University of Konstanz have succeeded in changing the properties of a material in a non-thermal way with the help of light and magnons. The new process is not only promising for information technology, but possibly for quantum research, too – at room temperature.
