The scientists speculate that the difference in cell death rates between the two methods of infection is due to the
increased efficiency of cell - to - cell transmission.
With Twitter, Facebook, blogs and the quick - and - easy
communication efficiency of cell phones, we've gotten used to the notion that anything worth saying can and should be shared with the digital community in real time.
What was also very interesting about the study was that increased
mitochondrial efficiency of the cell (needing less oxygen), apparently is owed to the lower levels of proteins... proteins that normally make the mitochondria «leaky» and inefficient.
Researchers from the Bioelectrochemistry group of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) Department of Chemical Engineering have improved the
energetic efficiency of the cells.
In fact, with silicon ingots making up 95 % of the costs of solar wafer manufacture, finding ways to use silicon that has not been purified to solar - grade may be at least as important as the
actual efficiency of each cell.
Because there is a growing need for agricultural or renewable production of biofuels and other commodity chemicals to move away from fossil fuels, scientists have long sought to enhance the internal organisation of bacteria and improve
the efficiency of the cells for making nutrients, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
That's because the gas can be used to make several of the layers in a silicon photovoltaic — from the top of the cell where it is used to deposit a layer of silicon nitride that ensures that all sunlight is absorbed, to the bottom where it can be used to deposit another layer that helps reflect back any missed photons of sunlight, boosting
the efficiency of the cell at converting light into electricity.
These findings will open up new ways to improve
the efficiency of cell reprogramming and to drive stem cells to become different types of specialised cell.
Groups of researchers around the world are working with the MFC technology, attempting to improve
the efficiency of the cells.
PEMF restores and enhances
the efficiency of the cells mitochondria and production of ATP, the vital element for charging up the cell walls.
«Emissions from Photovoltaic Life Cycles» found that even when accounting for the metals required to build PV cells,
the efficiency of the cells, and the waste produced, PV cells still emit less global warming pollution throughout their life cycle than the fossil fuels needed to produce the same amount of power.
It's true that over the past five years, the cost of crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels — the current solar technology of choice — has fallen 80 percent, as China has ramped up manufacturing and
the efficiency of cells improves incrementally.
Scientists have been working with this technology for about seven years and in just that amount of time
the efficiency of those cells has increased from just three percent in 2009 to 22 percent today — similar to silicon solar cells.
