The detainees are being housed outside in 6-by-8-foot chain-link cells until a detention facility is completed.
Boston Power, founded in 2005, makes fast-charging Li-ion cells for consumer products, including some Hewlett-Packard laptops.
Tesla technology hinges on assembling thousands of top-notch lithium-ion cells into a liquid-cooled battery pack.

But another approach to using embryonic stem cells--and cloning--has been in inventing drugs much like the ones we already have.
Newly designed Australian army vests will be equipped with paper-thin, flexible and lightweight solar-cells with very high power-to-weight ratios.
The heat is supplied by sources that range from waste-to-energy facilities and biomass boilers to micro-CHP fuel cells and solar-thermal arrays.

It was hoped that by hitting EGFR, the out-of-control cell division that marks cancer cells could be stopped--making chemotherapy more effective.
It used to be thought that neural stem cells--which divide to produce nerve cells in an embryonic brain--shut down in adulthood.
The gallium-arsenide cells use low-cost lenses to concentrate sunlight on tiny cells.
Its very existence on the twin peaked crag is awe-inspiring, as are the six well-preserved dry-built beehive-shaped cells that were once inhabited by monks.
The list also names three extreme-left Greek organisations - November 17, Revolutionary Cells and Revolutionary Popular Struggle - and individuals include Saudis, Lebanese and Kuwaitis.
All engineering mumbo-jumbo aside, the resulting nanocone-tipped cells converted light-to-power with efficiency of 3.2% compared to 1.8% efficiency of conventional planar structure of the same materials.
FORBES: Nanocone-Tips Take Solar Cell Efficiency to Next Level
In the studies that were submitted to the FDA, a handful of patients saw levels of disease-fighting T-cells drop 50% or more--enough to be a concern.
However, closer examination revealed differences between men and women in two key components of the immune system - T-cells, which protect the body from infection, and B-cells, which secrete antibodies.
First it was hydrogen fuel-cells, then ethanol-powered cars, then plug-ins.

Two specific types of immune system cell that attack invaders - CD4 T-cells and natural killer cells - increased in number with age, with a higher rate of increase in women than in men.
The treatment involves taking a patient's T-cells, the infection- and disease-fighting cells of the immune system, and genetically modifying them to target a protein called CD19, which is present on ALL cells.
The difference for the aspirin takers is that their polyps did not go on to develop cancer, suggesting that aspirin could possibly be causing pre-cancerous cells to self-destruct before they turn cancerous.
FORBES: Study: Daily Aspirin Cuts Hereditary Cancer Risk in Half
But building a giant battery using dry-cell technology would require thousands of individual cells - about the size of a soft drinks can - to be strung together in a massive installation.
Solar charge times are determined by the total area and efficiency of the solar cells -- the Spark uses high-efficiency monocristalline cells which will charge an iPad from about 10 hours of sunshine.

Q-Cells ( QCLSF - news - people ), the world's largest maker of solar cells, beat first-quarter profit expectations but lowered its 2009 profit forecast for the third time since December.
Recent discoveries revealed that tumors are adept at cloaking themselves by hijacking the body's own mechanism for preventing the system's T-cells, the infection- and disease-fighting cells of the immune system, from running amok against healthy tissue.
In recent years, evidence has built that the immune system can sometimes attack and kill cancer cells--sometimes--but that cancer finds ways to fight back and evade or blunt the attack. (See "Cancer Miracles") For some people with advanced cancer, ipilimumab may be just enough to trigger a full-fledged anti-tumor attack.
Dopamine-producing nerve cells have acetylcholine-receptor molecules on their surfaces.
ECONOMIST: Great drug, shame about the delivery system | The
They are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build manufacturing plants--giant bio-vats that hold millions of gallons of cultured mammal cells--in order to develop new protein drugs to treat cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.
Experiments on rats showed that these surviving-cells started producing a protein called hamartin - which forces cells to conserve energy.
In this phase mast cells - which are responsible for causing allergies - release histamine and other molecules such as chemokines.
With the removal of these stem cells -- of which there may be about 30 -- the embryo is destroyed.
It is unclear exactly how the fat increases the clot risk, but experts believe it could be partly physical - compression on the veins - and partly chemical - fat cells make hormones that encourage clotting.
Embryonic stem cells are blank cells found in four- to five-day-old embryos, which have the ability to turn into any cell in the body.
