New research demonstrates a potential protective role of citrus fruit on the incidence of depression and suggests that Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a type of bacteria found in the human gut, and its metabolic activity may modulate the…

In recent years, solar cells incorporating crystals known as perovskites have repeatedly broken records of how well they convert sunlight to electricity, suggesting they might help revolutionize photovoltaics. Now, a group of scientists have…

Eating 50 grams of walnuts mixed into muesli and yoghurt led to faster reaction times throughout the day and better memory performance later in the day when compared to eating an equivalent calorie-matched breakfast without nuts, according to…

This bottleneck event happened between 130,000 and 50,000 years ago, according to new research led by scientists from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Universidad de Alcalá.

Physicists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Hamburg have observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a subnanometer C₆₀ fullerene (buckminsterfullerene) molecule.

Geoscientists from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cornell University and the University of Utah say they have detected structural changes near the…

Electric vehicles( EVs) and green energy sources rely heavily on batteries to store electricity. Currently, more than 75 percent of the world’s energy storage depends on batteries that contain lithium, an expensive mineral that’s subject to…

Over the last five years, Southern California Edison—the utility that serves Los Angeles—has been testing a way to prevent downed power lines from starting fires. The technology, a kind of power diverter called Rapid Earth Fault Current…

Less than two weeks after the U.S. Department of Energy announced it would loan Hydrostornearly US $1.8 billion to build the world’s biggest compressed-air energy storage facility, the agency placed the loan under review. The about-face is one…
