Flushing

Scientists are highlighting how dormant, hibernating bacteria can survive extreme conditions, from hospital disinfectants to the vacuum of outer space, making them hard to eradicate in healthcare settings. The key finding is that entering and maintaining this dormant state carries a high energy cost, which researchers say could be exploited as a weakness to develop new drugs that flush the bacteria out and kill them.

Analysts say Bitcoin is testing a key supply cluster held by long-term holders, while excess leverage in the derivatives market has been cleared out.

Coverage in the solar industry press highlights the product as part of the growing building-integrated photovoltaics market.
