| 2 |  🇨🇳 Chinese scientists set new world record for solar cell efficiency
Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that combines high efficiency with mechanical flexibility
🔶The cell achieved a certified steady-state efficiency of 28.04%
🔶 It retained 90% of its initial performance after 625 hours of continuous use, demonstrating strong durability
🔶 The team solved a long-standing problem called "phase separation" by adding a special molecule that stabilizes the material during operation
🔶 Its lightweight, flexible design makes it suitable for buildings, vehicles, wearable electronics, and even satellites and space stations
The breakthrough brings perovskite solar technology closer to commercial reality, positioning China at the forefront of next-generation photovoltaics.

| 3 |  🔥🇷🇺 Russian scientists make fascinating discovery about brain’s functions
Researchers from MISIS and Moscow State University gently probed individual brain cells using a microscopic glass needle and observed their real-time reactions, all without causing any cellular damage.
🔸 Neurons (which underpin memory and learning) stiffened upon stimulation of their cell body, but showed no mechanical change when their extensions were touched
🔸 Astrocytes (support cells) displayed the opposite response: their cell bodies softened, while their extensions stiffened—suggesting that these cells act as fine-tuned "sensors" for external signals
🔸 The method employs scanning ion-conductance microscopy, enabling precise force application down to tens of nanometres
🔸 When the internal cell skeleton was temporarily blocked, all mechanical responses ceased — confirming its role in these reactions
This technique could help researchers better understand neural communication and trauma responses, potentially paving the way for future therapies targeting brain injuries and neurodegenerative disorders.

| 4 |  🔥🇷🇺 Russian scientists find way to clean up oil spills with bacteria
Researchers from Surgut State University and Siberian Federal University have discovered how to "activate" soil microbes to effectively break down oil pollution.
🔸 The team found that adding ammonium nitrate—a common fertilizer—can stimulate bacteria to "eat" oil compounds, but the effectiveness depends on temperature, contamination level, and the form of nitrogen used.
🔸The method works best at moderate contamination levels (around 50g of oil per kg of soil—50 times above safe limits)
🔸 Unlike traditional methods, bioremediation can be tailored to cold northern regions where oil spreads deeper into porous soils
If scaled up, this approach could offer a cheaper, more sustainable way to restore oil-damaged ecosystems.
