Flexible Solar Tech Could Outshine Rigid Panels—Here’s How - Industry Tap

4 days ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

Record-Breaking PerformanceIn a groundbreaking achievement, scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have created a flexible solar cell that has set a new efficiency benchmark. This device reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.6% — the highest ever recorded for a flexible solar panel. How It Works: Antisolvent Seeding InnovationThe key to this efficiency lies in a technique known as antisolvent seeding.
Graz Researchers Develop Groundbreaking Laser Method to Detect Nanoplastics

4 days ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

Researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have developed a groundbreaking technique to detect and quantify nanoplastics in transparent body fluids like tears, blood plasma, and urine. This new approach uses a spectroscopy-based method, where a laser beam interacts with particles in the fluid to identify them based on their size and chemical properties.
NTUH Makes History with Beating-Heart Transplant that Never Missed a Beat

A World First in Heart TransplantationOn April 9, 2025, National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) successfully performed the world’s first zero-ischemia-time beating-heart transplant, marking a historic moment in modern medicine. This breakthrough procedure kept the donor heart beating and perfused with oxygenated blood at all stages—from donation to implantation—thereby eliminating the typical damage caused by interrupted blood supply. What Makes This Procedure Different?
What’s in the Gut May Shape the Mind: New Autism Study Says So

A newly published study from the University of Southern California (USC), offers compelling new evidence of a biological connection between the gut and brain in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To explore this connection, USC researchers collected behavioral data, brain imaging (fMRI), and stool samples from 43 children with autism and 41 neurotypical children, all aged 8 to 17.
The Parenthood Rejection: Why More Americans Are Saying 'No Thanks' to Kids

A recent study from Michigan State University (MSU), published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, reveals that the number of Americans who do not want children has more than doubled since 2002. The research found that approximately 21.6% of adults in Michigan identify as “child-free,” meaning they have chosen not to have biological or adopted children.
Birds Are Getting Flashier in Cities. Here’s What’s Going On

1 week ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

Researchers from the University of Granada and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence have discovered that bird species thriving in cities tend to have more colorful plumage. Their study, published in Ecology Letters, reveals that these urban birds often show more blue and less brown in their feathers. By analyzing a global database of bird species, the researchers found a clear pattern: birds that succeed in urban environments often display blue, dark grey, and black feathers.
Your Skin Is Talking — This Wearable Actually Listens - Industry Tap

1 week ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

A Breath of InnovationIn a breakthrough that redefines wearable health technology, researchers at Northwestern University have developed the first device that can monitor the gases coming out of — and going into — your skin. This soft, non-invasive sensor doesn’t just sit on your skin. Instead, it hovers just above it, using a small chamber to trap and analyze the gases your skin emits, like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Now You Can Touch Light: Spanish Engineers Build the First Touchable Hologram

1 week ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

Researchers at the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in holographic technology: they’ve developed the first-ever 3D holograms you can physically touch and manipulate in mid-air. Led by Dr. Elodie Bouzbib, the team—which includes Iosune Sarasate, Unai Fernández, Manuel López-Amo, Iván Fernández, Iñigo Ezcurdia, and Asier Marzo—pushed the boundaries of interactivity, marking a major leap toward immersive holographic.
Surprising Study Links Body Fat to Month of Conception

1 week ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

A new study from Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine reveals a surprising connection between the month you were conceived and your body fat levels as an adult. Researchers now believe that the season of conception could have lasting effects on your metabolism. At the heart of this discovery is brown adipose tissue (BAT)—a special type of fat that actively burns calories to generate heat.
Shingles Shot Cuts Dementia Risk by 20%, Says Stanford Study

1 week ago | industrytap.com | Nidhi Goyal

A groundbreaking study from Stanford Medicine, published in Nature, shows that the shingles vaccine can reduce the risk of dementia in older adults by 20%. The research highlights how vaccines might protect not only against infections but also against long-term brain diseases. Researchers analyzed health data from over 280,000 older adults in Wales. In 2013, due to vaccine shortages, health authorities vaccinated only 79-year-olds and excluded those 80 and older. This created a natural experiment.
