Scientists have developed a novel optical cavity design that could enable single-junction solar cells to achieve efficiencies approaching 43%, far exceeding a theoretical limit established more than 60 years ago.
An experimental new treatment has enabled some people with advanced retinal disease to detect and locate objects again, with improvements in light sensitivity of up to 62-fold.
A personalised mRNA therapy has reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 42% in patients with high-risk melanoma in a Phase III clinical trial, potentially opening the door to similar treatments for other cancers.
A new study finds that Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica could contribute up to 30 mm to global sea-level rise by 2100, even without additional climate warming, due to a process omitted from earlier ice-sheet models.
Researchers in Germany have transformed elderly blood cells into much younger neural stem cells, offering new insights into the mechanisms of cellular aging and rejuvenation.
