A key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis is an abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature, causing people to faint and, if untreated, potentially die. That response has long been attributed to a sudden dilation and leakage of blood vessels. But in a study using mice, researchers have found that this response, especially body temperature drop, requires an additional mechanism -- the nervous system. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/Tp08Lzt

They are considered the 'Holy Grail' of battery research: so-called 'solid-state batteries'. They no longer have a liquid core, as is the case with today's batteries, but consist of a solid material. This leads to several advantages: Among other things, these batteries are more difficult to ignite and can also be manufactured on a miniature scale. Scientists have now turned their attention to the life cycle of such batteries and targeted processes that reduce it. With their findings, more durable solid-state batteries could be realized in the future. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/v4EVisk
