Fats and oils, which are collectively known as lipids, are very important substances in the body. They are largely taken in through the diet but several, like cholesterol, are also made in the body. They are critical components of the membranes that define the cells and the organelles inside them. They are transported around the body in lipoproteins such as LDL and HDL, and stored in...

Recent experiments with high-intensity lasers have shown record production of alpha particles by irradiating boron-hydrogen targets. This opens the way to completely new studies on pB fusion with multiple goals:

The European Union (EU) has set an ambitious goal towards decarbonising energy production and achieving key climate change related objectives by 2030/2050. Photovoltaic (PV) solar cell (SC) technologies have already made significant progress and are on track towards meeting more than 5% of global energy demand by 2025. Moving forwards PV is recognized as one of the key renewable ener...

The COST Action TEATIME aims to develop and use automated home-cage monitoring technologies, combining experts in mouse behavior, laboratory animal science and data science, to critically and transparently assess the potential of these technologies, to develop user guidelines and standard operating procedures and to identify needs for further technological development, including anal...
