Last update: 11 hours agoAntiviral Research: A UC Riverside-led study mapped previously unknown interactions between coronavirus RNA and proteins, revealing potential drug targets that may be harder for the virus to evolve around. Next-Generation Batteries: US researchers found that sodium metal can form in solid-state batteries without a degradation-causing layer — and that electron beams can help grow the crystals. Cleaner Lithium: Researchers at the University of Texas developed nanoscale channels that separate lithium from competing ions with two to five times greater selectivity than other recent methods. Solar Technology: Belgian startup Noak raised €5 million to scale perovskite-silicon tandem cells, building on years of outdoor testing across multiple climates. Fossils and Space: Scientists report chemical signs of heme inside structures resembling red blood cells in a 115-million-year-old dinosaur bone, while ESA’s Euclid telescope spotted a previously unknown comet more than 800 million miles from Earth.
