Research reveals thermal instability of solar cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A new type of solar technology has seemed promising in recent years. Halide perovskite solar cells are both high-performing and low-cost for producing electrical energy - two necessary ingredients for any successful solar technology of the future. But new solar cell materials should also mat

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif

Protein droplets may cause many types of genetic diseases: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Most proteins localize to distinct protein-rich droplets in cells, also known as "cellular condensates". Such proteins contain sequence features that function as address labels, telling the protein which condensate to move into. When the labels get screwed up, proteins may end up in the wron
