For all the technological advances in diabetes care, the basic approach to treatment remains much the same: use drugs (such as GLP-1 therapies) or hormones (such as insulin) to change how the body handles sugar. But what if, instead of altering the body's metabolism , doctors could remove excess sugar directly? That's the idea behind a wirelessly powered implant that harnesses electricity to drive a chemical reaction that converts glucose into a more easily excreted byproduct, which the...

Summer heat is a major problem for silicon solar panels. They typically lose 0.5 percent of their efficiency for every degree their temperature rises above 25 C. That's a problem in hot places like Baghdad, where air temperatures can top 50 C and prolonged sunlight can push panel surfaces toward 80 C. In those kinds of extreme conditions, solar panel efficiency has been shown to drop by as much as 25 percent . But new research out of Iraq could provide a cooling solution that boosts solar panel...
