"Reducing Common Chemical Exposure Slows Aging, Reveals New Research"

Researchers at Nagoya University have discovered a link between aldehydes, metabolic byproducts found in alcohol, pollution, and smoke, and premature aging and DNA damage. Their findings suggest potential strategies to mitigate aging effects by controlling exposure to aldehyde-inducing substances. The study sheds light on the impact of environmental factors on health and aging, offering insights into premature aging diseases and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Advancements in Fuel Cell Technology: Next-Gen Membranes and Platinum Nanoclusters.

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a new ultra-high-density sulfonic acid polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) for fuel cells, which can be used for vehicles and combined heat and power systems. The PEM has an ultrahigh density of sulfonic acid groups, resulting in a proton conductivity of 0.93 S/cm at 80°C under 90%RH, which is six times higher than the conductivity of typical commercially available PEMs such as Nafion or Selemion under the same measurement conditions. This study will contribute to the synthesis and development of next-generation higher-performance PEMs exhibiting a good conductivity of 0.1 S/cm or higher under severe conditions.
