The impact of 100% electrification of domestic heat in Great Britain | Overall peak heat demand derived here is almost 50% lower than widely cited values (www.cell.com)
Using hourly historical gas demand data, we conclude that the domestic peak heat demand is almost 50% lower than widely cited values. A 100% electrification pathway can be achieved with only a 1.3-fold increase in generation capacity compared to a power-only decarbonization scenario, but only by leveraging the role of thermal...

Chronic stress increases metastasis via neutrophil-mediated changes to the microenvironment (www.cell.com)
Highlights • Chronic stress increases metastasis in mice • Chronic stress establishes a pro-metastatic lung microenvironment • Deleting the neutrophil-glucocorticoid receptor abolishes stress-induced metastasis • Chronic stress induces metastasis-promoting neutrophil extracellular traps Summary Chronic stress is...

Reindeer in the Arctic Reduce Sleep Need During Rumination (www.cell.com)
Timing and quantity of sleep depend on a circadian (∼24-h) rhythm and a specific sleep requirement. Sleep curtailment results in a homeostatic rebound of more and deeper sleep, the latter reflected in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Circadian rhythms...
A meta-review of 54 studies on hydrogen heating | at best hydrogen will play a niche role for heating buildings (www.cell.com)
This paper carries out a meta-review of 54 independent studies to assess the scientific evidence for using hydrogen for heating buildings. The analysis concludes that the scientific evidence does not support a major role for hydrogen in cost-optimal decarbonization pathways being associated with higher energy system and consumer...

Fear of the human “super predator” pervades the South African savanna (www.cell.com)
Lions have long been perceived as Africa’s, if not the world’s, most fearsome terrestrial predator,the “king of beasts”. Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing, as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators, due partly to...

Carbon offsets are incompatible with the Paris Agreement (www.cell.com)
Carbon offsets allow companies and governments to outsource emission reductions to third parties and have played a prominent role in many climate mitigation policies to date. But in order to support temperature stabilization under the Paris Agreement, nearly everything about them must change.
