A team of researchers with the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new aqueous electrochemical energy storage battery that they believe could pave the way for grid-scale energy storage. In their paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the group describes how they built their new battery and how well it worked when tested. Lauren Marbella with Columbia University has published a News and Views piece on the work done by the team in the same journal issue.

REPLAB: A low-cost benchmark platform for robotic learning
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a reproducible, low-cost and compact benchmark platform to evaluate robotic learning approaches, which they called REPLAB. Their recent study, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, was supported by Berkeley DeepDrive, the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Google, NVIDIA and Amazon.

Chemists develop nanoscale bioabsorbable wound dressing
Scientists at Texas A&M University are harnessing the combined power of organic nanomaterials-based chemistry and a natural product found in crustacean exoskeletons to help bring emergency medicine one step closer to a viable solution for mitigating blood loss, from the hospital to the battlefield.

Analyzing a protein from cerebrospinal fluid will help diagnose patients with prion diseases
Every year in Catalonia 15 new cases of Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease are diagnosed. It is a deadly prion disease whose cause is unknown and has no treatment, though it is very similar to mad cow disease, also brought on by prions and otherwise known as CJD variant. The challenge has always been to diagnose prion diseases when a person or an animal is suffering from them, since currently the definitive diagnosis can only be made once the patient is dead.
