  Introduction Infectious diseases like tuberculosis (TB) and leishmaniasis continue to pose major public health threats, particularly in regions with high poverty rates and limited healthcare access. These diseases share a critical characteristic—they are intracellular infections , meaning they survive and multiply inside host cells, making them difficult to treat. A recent One Health-focused workshop brought together experts from various disciplines to discuss challenges, knowledge gaps, and strategies for controlling TB and leishmaniasis. This blog highlights the key takeaways from the discussions and how an integrated One Health approach can improve disease control efforts.                                                                             Understanding the One Health Approac...

Introduction Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the automotive industry with their sustainability, efficiency, and reduced emissions . However, battery safety remains a critical challenge—especially the risk of thermal runaway . This dangerous phenomenon occurs when a battery cell overheats uncontrollably, leading to fire, explosion, or complete failure . To enhance EV safety, researchers are developing risk accumulation models to identify vehicles most susceptible to thermal runaway before failure occurs . Let’s explore how this approach works and why it’s crucial for the future of EV technology.                                                                             What is Thermal Runaway? Thermal runaway is a chain reaction where excessive heat in a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery lea...

Introduction Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are transforming power electronics , offering higher efficiency, faster switching speeds, and lower losses compared to traditional silicon devices. However, in high-power applications, multiple SiC MOSFETs are often connected in parallel to handle greater current loads. A major challenge? Current imbalance. When MOSFETs operate in parallel, even slight variations in device characteristics can lead to unequal current sharing , causing: ⚡ Overheating of certain devices ⚡ Reduced efficiency ⚡ Early device failure To tackle this, researchers are now using PCB-based current sensors with peak detection techniques to actively monitor and balance current flow in parallel SiC MOSFETs.                                                                           ...

Introduction For millions of households worldwide, traditional cooking methods using wood, charcoal, or dung remain the primary source of fuel. While these fuels provide energy, they also generate high levels of household air pollution (HAP) —a major risk factor for respiratory diseases, poor pregnancy outcomes, and child development issues. The HAPIN (Household Air Pollution Intervention Network) trial , a groundbreaking multi-country study, examines whether switching to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stoves can improve newborn health , particularly focusing on head circumference and length at birth . Why Birth Size Matters Head circumference and length at birth are key indicators of fetal growth and brain development . Smaller measurements are often linked to: 🔹 Higher risk of neonatal mortality 🔹 Lower cognitive development in childhood 🔹 Increased risk of chronic diseases later in life Could reducing household air pollution with clean cooking solutions lead to better bir...

Introduction Sugar beet is a key crop in China’s agricultural landscape, contributing significantly to sugar production and rural economies. However, achieving optimal yields while maintaining environmental sustainability is a major challenge—primarily due to the inefficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. Overuse of nitrogen not only increases production costs but also leads to soil degradation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions . A recent meta-analysis of sugar beet farming practices across China provides valuable insights into how optimizing nitrogen application can enhance both crop productivity and socio-ecological benefits . Let’s dive into the findings and explore why smart nitrogen management is the key to sustainable sugar beet farming.                                                                 ...
