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…

Study Reveals Potential Way to Treat Pediatric Gliomas

A joint study between the Broad Institute and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has discovered a new and potentially effective way to treat pediatric gliomas. The research revealed that a percentage of children diagnosed with gliomas, an incredibly common type of pediatric brain cancer, may respond to certain inhibitors that have already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. According to the researchers, 8.9% of pediatric glioma patients exhibited fibroblast growth factor receptor alterations, a group of proteins that play a key role in cell differentiation, growth, and development. These alterations increased the gliomas’ sensitivity to inhibitors that can…

New Genetic Discovery Could Boost Cancer Immunotherapy

A recent genetic discovery has the potential to boost the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy treatments. According to a study published in the journal Nature, the genetic discovery may improve cancer treatment outcomes in certain patients. Researchers stumbled upon the promising clue while they studied treatment outcomes in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) patients post-immunotherapy. The study was co-authored by Emily Hinchcliff, MD, an assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern Medicine's Division of Gynecologic Oncology. She notes that conventional cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy are rarely effective against OCCC, an aggressive but rare form of ovarian cancer…

Study Compares Whether EV Battery Reuse is Better Than Recycling

With battery electric vehicles (BEVs) becoming more common worldwide, a joint team of researchers has conducted a study to determine the best way to handle used electric vehicle batteries. Composed of thousands of lithium-ion cells, these packs have an estimated lifespan of 10 to 20 years, which can be affected by driving habits, battery chemistry, maintenance, and environmental conditions. After their primary automotive use, EV batteries can continue to operate for up to a decade in secondary applications before being recycled into new battery materials. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Research Facility for Battery Cell Production (FFB), the Lawrence Berkeley National…
