How do you electrify a populous city’s transit without destabilizing its grid? New research into Beijing’s 27,000-bus system explores using depots to generate a solar power.
Layered assembly of 2D materials such as graphene have potential roles in the development of new electronic devices. Manufacturing these materials at a large scale while making them atomically clean is a major challenge. In this study, researchers used a special robotic system to assemble graphene heterostructures into large sheets with atomically clean interfaces.

As one expert at the George Washington University reflects on the 2024 campaign season and the uncertainty that lays ahead, he explores the question: what does political rhetoric owe democracy? ...
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have identified 16 genes that breast cancer cells use to survive in the bloodstream after they’ve escaped the low-oxygen regions of a tumor. Each is a potential therapeutic target to stop cancer recurrence, and one – MUC1 – is already in clinical trials.
A review article entitled “Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Older Adults and Alzheimer’s Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” is now published in the Journal Alzheimer’s Disease Reports.
