Solid-state batteries suffer from a key technical challenge that can cause them to short circuit. Researchers were able to ...

Smartphones, electric vehicles and many portable devices rely on batteries. Their energy storage capacity, lifetime and safety will strongly shape the future of electrification. Among the most ...

Oftentimes, people struggling to fall asleep turn to the familiar advice of counting sheep. But sleep researchers say a different mental exercise may work better, one designed to mimic the strange, ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

Sometimes the hardest part of doing an unpleasant task is simply getting started — typing the first word of a long report, lifting a dirty dish on the top of an overfilled sink or removing clothes ...

Adam Nelson, a principal investigator in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology, led a study that used mice to show that social hierarchy involves status-dependent behavioral interactions that ...

Spatial orientation is a universal cognitive function, crucial for any species that locomotes in an environment, needs to find its way to a target or food, and is able to go back to its starting point ...

The rapid improvement of generative AI tools has led many of my peers to proclaim that higher education as we know it has come to a crashing and shocking end. I agree. In my large-enrollment general ...

Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when a short circuit in the heart causes the upper chambers (atria) to pump very rapidly. Atrial flutter is important not ...

Circuit training involves quickly rotating through a series of exercises targeting different areas of the body. You can do it at the gym, at home, or during an exercise class. Share on Pinterest Getty ...

Abstract: Gas discharge tube (GDT) breaks down discharge with surge overvoltage during long-term use. Notably, there is a risk of short-circuit failure due to the drop in insulation resistance after a ...

Abstract: Activities related to short-circuit analysis, including design considerations for new systems, analytical studies for existing systems, as well as operational and model validation ...
