Flattening the load: from flocking birds to reducing peak energy demand in buildings.
How do starling flocks relate to energy use in homes? Can neighbourhoods flatten peaks in demand using simple coordination schemes to help prevent blackouts? A recent paper explores these questions and provides striking answers that could help to design robust and efficient local energy systems.
Detection of Progesterone Receptor-Interacting Endocrine Disruptors
We report a sensitive activity-based biosensor for rapid and reliable screening of progesterone receptor (PR)-interacting endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
