An adaptor makes immune cells fight cancer cells. Such “BiTE” agents have already proven effective against blood, lung and prostate cancer, researchers report.

A Swiss research team has succeeded in increasing the efficiency of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells to over 30 percent. This is a world record.

Reprogrammed cells allow wounds in older people to heal faster. This could, for example, help burn victims.

The solar cells from the inkjet printer are ultra-thin and flexible - and should also work inside buildings.

Whether for smartphone screens or solar cells: Precious metals such as iridium or ruthenium are in high demand. Researchers from Basel have developed a cheaper and less toxic alternative.

In the laboratory, scientists have created miniature brains whose cells interact with each other and produce electrical activity. But just how much do the models have to do with the original?

Dust accumulating on solar panels is a big problem. But washing the panels consumes large amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method.

Never before have flexible solar cells been so efficient: A team from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) has created a flexible thin-film solar cell with a record-breaking efficiency of 20.8 percent.

Proteins control most processes in living cells and are vital for humans. If it were possible to precisely determine all proteins in an organism, diseases such as Alzheimer's or cancer could be treated better and more individually.

MIT engineers have developed ultra-light fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source.
