 Thermodynamic magic enables cooling without energy consumption Physicists have developed an amazingly simple device that allows heat to flow temporarily from a cold to a warm object without an external power supply. Intriguingly, the process initially appears to contradict the fundamental laws of physics. more Thermodynamic magic enables cooling without energy cons ... 4/19/2019 4:55:00 PMScience Daily |
A universal framework combining genome annotation and undergraduate education Scientists and educators have developed a framework for using new genome sequences as a training resource for undergraduates interested in learning genome annotation. This strategy will both make the process of determining gene functions more efficient and help train the next generation of scientists in bioinformatics. more A universal framework combining genome annotation and u ... 4/19/2019 4:55:00 PMScience Daily |
High performance solid-state sodium-ion battery Solid-state sodium-ion batteries are far safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which pose a risk of fire and explosions, but their performance has been too weak to offset the safety advantages. Researchers have now reported developing an organic cathode that dramatically improves both stability and energy density. more High performance solid-state sodium-ion battery 4/19/2019 4:55:00 PMScience Daily |

New method to detect off-target effects of CRISPR Since the CRISPR genome editing technology was invented in 2012, it has shown great promise to treat a number of intractable diseases. However, scientists have struggled to identify potential off-target effects in therapeutically relevant cell types, which remains the main barrier to moving therapies to the clinic. Now, a group of scientists have developed a reliable method to do just that. more New method to detect off-target effects of CRISPR 4/19/2019 10:36:00 AMScience Daily |
