New Study Discovers Unexpected Reason for Resistance to Cancer Immunotherapy

A joint team of researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Karolinska Institutet, and Moffitt Cancer Center has discovered an unexpected mechanism behind resistance to cancer immunotherapy: cancer-induced damage to adjacent nerves. Immunotherapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer, thereby avoiding the side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation. However, over half of cancer patients do not respond to immunotherapy, which has an average success rate of 20-50% across all cancer types. The research team says one reason for this resistance is cancer's inherent ability to damage nerve…

Falling Battery Prices Could Accelerate EV Uptake

Electric vehicle battery prices have plummeted to record lows in recent months, creating conditions that could dramatically accelerate EV adoption across global markets. According to industry data, lithium-ion battery costs for the vehicle sector recently reached approximately $57 for a kilowatt-hour of LFP battery chemistry and $61 for a kWh of NMC chemistry. This represents a dramatic decline from 2022 levels, when prices stood at $134 for LFP and $148 for NMC at the peak of the speculation-driven lithium boom plus pandemic-related supply challenges. The price collapse stems from a fundamental market shift that occurred roughly two years ago, when…

Why It’s Shortsighted to Ask Oil, Gas Firms to Immediately Abandon Fossil Fuels

Speeki founder and CEO Scott Lane recently wrote an op-ed outlining why asking oil and gas firms to abandon fossil fuels immediately is shortsighted. With the transition from fossil fuels to renewables accelerating, fossil fuel firms have been under increasing pressure to move away from extraction and production to reduce their impact on the environment. After all, fossil fuels like coal, gas, and oil are primarily responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions that have triggered global warming, and replacing them with cleaner alternatives such as solar and wind energy will be key to addressing human-driven climate change. However, Scott Lane…

Researchers Engineer Novel Material to Generate Solar Energy

University of Rochester researchers have developed a novel material capable of significantly increasing the efficiency and energy generation capacity of solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs). STEGs work differently from the solar panels you see on rooftops. Instead of converting sunlight directly into electricity, they use heat differences to create power, similar to how a thermostat works. This allows them to generate energy from almost any heat source and keep working even in dim light or at night, as long as one side stays hotter than the other. Unfortunately, STEGs have always suffered from efficiency limitations that prevented them from entering the…
