Genetic propensity for higher levels of arachidonic acid is linked to a lower risk of bipolar disorder

A genetic propensity for higher circulating levels of lipids containing arachidonic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in eggs, poultry and seafood, has been found to be linked to a lower risk of bipolar disorder , according to a new study a Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier. This new evidence paves the way for … Read more

Exploiting disorder to harvest thermal energy: the potential of 2D magnets for thermoelectric applications

A temperature gradient is applied to a CrSBr thin film to measure its thermoelectric response. Credit: Alessandra Canetta Thermoelectric systems are a green and sustainable way to harvest energy from any form of heat that would otherwise be wasted. At the core of this energy conversion process is the so-called Seebeck effect, which describes the … Read more
