Scientists bioengineer a cellular speedometer

Researchers have discovered that Pseudomonas bacteria can detect the speed (shear rate) of flow regardless of the force. By linking the flow-detecting gene to one responsible for illumination, they have bioengineered a real-time visual speedometer: The faster the flow, the brighter the glow. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513123118.htm

Underwater power generation

Underwater vehicles, diving robots, and detectors require their own energy supply to operate for long periods independent of ships. A new, inexpensive system for the direct electrochemical extraction of energy from seawater offers the advantage of also being able to handle short spikes in power demand, while maintaining longer term steady power. To do so, the system can autonomously switch between two modes of operation. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513120735.htm

Shrinking moon may be generating moonquakes

A new analysis suggests that the moon is actively shrinking and producing moonquakes along thousands of cliffs called thrust faults spread over the moon's surface. The faults are likely the result of the moon's interior cooling and shrinking, causing the surface crust to shrivel and crack like a raisin's skin. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513112233.htm

Just like toothpaste: Fluoride radically improves the stability of perovskite solar cells

Solar cells made of perovskite hold much promise for the future of solar energy. However, the material degrades quickly, severely limiting its efficiency and stability over time. Researchers have discovered that adding a small amount of fluoride to the perovskite leaves a protective layer, increasing stability of the materials and the solar cells significantly. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513112231.htm
