Flexible perovskite solar cells are promising for lightweight and versatile applications but their sensitivity to humidity and temperature poses a challenge to long-term durability. To address this, researchers from Japan have conducted a comprehensive study to test the degradation of these solar modules under extreme heat and humidity. Through accelerated testing, they identified how the water vapor transmission rates of barrier films affect the module’s stability, giving critical insights for development of durable solar cells.
Propranolol, a beta blocker medication used for treating high blood pressure and preventing migraines, may lower ischemic stroke risk in women who experience migraines frequently.
Both F.A.S.T. and BE-FAST acronyms motivated people to call 911 right away for a possible stroke, and this impact lasted for 30 days.
According to a new study from researchers at the University of California San Diego’s Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research (CHEAR), self-guided family therapy for obesity could work just as well as traditional approaches at a fraction of the cost.
