How China Got Ahead on EVs Speakers: Zeyi Yang, China reporter, Amanda Silverman, Features & investigations editor, and Abby Ivory-Ganja, Sr engagement editor In the race to produce and sell more electric vehicles, China has emerged as the unexpected winner. If you visit Shanghai or Shenzhen today, it feels like half of the cars running on the streets are electric. The burgeoning domestic demand also transformed Chinese auto companies into aggressive challengers in the global auto market. What did China’s government…

Research in mice shows limited intakes of one particular essential amino acid can slow the impacts of aging and even lengthen their lifespan.Scientists are now wondering if these findings could help people improve their longevity and quality of life.Isoleucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids we use to build proteins in our bodies. It is essential for our survival, but since our cells can't produce it from scratch, we have to get it from sources like eggs, dairy, soy protein and meats.But there can always be…

Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous experiments.If we wanted to make an everyday object sound sci-fi, it could be said that what we commonly call crystals are actually “space crystals.” Those things in your jewelry or just your salt shaker get their shape thanks to their atoms arranging themselves in a pattern that repeats across space.But since space and time…

Researchers have developed innovative ‘water batteries’ that offer a safe, recyclable alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. These aqueous metal-ion batteries use water instead of flammable electrolytes, preventing fire hazards. Their sustainable design facilitates easy disassembly for material reuse or recycling. Significant advancements include overcoming dendrite growth, extending battery lifespan, and achieving competitive energy densities with potential applications in grid storage and…

Apple iPhone 15 series has a longer battery lifespanAccording to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple has shared that the iPhone 15 series has a longer lifespan compared to the previous lineup.Apple initially revealed that the iPhone 15’s battery would retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity after 500 complete charge cycles.Apple has now updated the information saying that the iPhone 15 can retain 80 percent of its original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles.The change in battery cycle lifespan only applies to the…

In some fantastic news for iPhone 15 owners, Apple just announced that the battery could last twice as long as previous models — and double what the company initially expected. Now, instead of 80% capacity at 500 charges, you’ll retain that 80% at 1000 charges — which is a big change.Battery health has been a long-contentious topic when it comes to the iPhone — after all, there was an entire court case that debated whether iPhones were being throttled to protect the capacity of their batteries. Things since then have…

Apple confirmed that the iPhone 15 series offers tangible improvements when it comes to battery lifespan. All four iPhone 15 models can retain up to 80% of their original capacity after 1,000 charges under ideal conditions while previous models were rated at 500 charges for the same capacity. Apple revealed the updated battery lifespan metrics in a dedicated iPhone battery support page. Apple iPhone battery support page Apple also told 9to5 Mac that it used a specific charging test which involved…

Apple has revealed that the iPhone 15 series have a longer battery cycle lifespan than the company's previous smartphone models. The company's documentation for its batteries has been updated to state that the iPhone 15 series can retain 80 percent of its battery capacity at twice as many charge cycles as its predecessors. With the upcoming iOS 17.4 update, the company's latest smartphone models will also be able to display the phone's battery "health" in the Settings app in addition to charge cycles.The company on…

New research found that imbalances in RNA communication, both within and from outside the organism, can shorten the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, offering new insights into the aging process and genetic regulation.Research on the roundworm species C. elegans has demonstrated that disruptions in the transfer of RNA between cells across various tissues can lead to a shortened lifespan.Cells in various tissues interact by sharing RNA molecules. A study conducted by scientists from the State University of Campinas…
