A Revolutionary Discovery for Solar Cells |
點閱次數: 193 |
| In the pursuit of cleaner energy, solar cells are expected to be widely applied in various fields; however, current solar cells are limited in their development due to the low conversion efficiency of light to electricity. To enhance the material's absorption of light, the research team altered the characteristics of light by utilizing twisted light. Photons of twisted light carry an orbital angular momentum. Additional orbital angular momentum is expected to induce more carrier transitions within the material, thereby increasing the material's light absorption and its photogenerated carrier concentration, elevating its potential for application in solar cells. The highlight of this experiment lies in using twisted light to enhance the light absorption of novel 2D material molybdenum disulfide. As the orbital angular momentum of light increments, the concentration of photo-induced carriers rises as well. Consequently, the larger photovoltaic effect in solar cells is enhanced. Based on the results of this experiment, twisted light has shown its potential to become a new approach to enhancing the efficiency of solar cells.more |

Eating Dehulled Adlay Every Day Helps Your Blood Pressure |
點閱次數: 181 |
| High blood pressure is a crucial risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, and a diet rich in whole-grain foods may modulate blood pressure. This study investigated the effects of dehulled adlay consumption on blood pressure and endothelium functions, and discovered that it could retard blood pressure increases over a 12-week experimental period in hypertensive animals. In an additional human trial, 23 participants with overweight and obese-consumed 60g of dehulled adlay daily for a six-week experimental period, and exhibited a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP). The change in SBP was even more evident in participants with high baseline SBP. A daily intake of 60g of dehulled adlay is therefore suggested as a replacement over some staple foods as it delivers beneficial effects for blood-pressure management.more |

Dragon Fruit Peel Extract Helps with Alcoholic Liver Disease! |
點閱次數: 186 |
| Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) has become a health problem as alcohol consumption has increased annually both in Taiwan and around the world. Hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation are important factors in the progression of ALD. Red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel is rich in polyphenols and betanins, which possess antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of red pitaya peel extract (PPE) on ALD, and explore the associated mechanisms. Laboratory mice were administered an ethanol liquid diet, which induced ALD, and PPE treatment was shown to reduce hepatic fat accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Thus, PPE may help prevent the progression of ALD.more |
