Some bacteria can go into a “zombie” state to survive starvation
A common species of bacteria demonstrated the ability to assume a “zombie” state when faced with inhospitable conditions. This survival strategy might explain why other microorganisms still reappear despite seemingly getting eradicated by antibiotics, starvation, or other factors. Formally called “oligotrophic growth,” the state differs from normal dormancy. The bacteria remain active, but their cellular […]

Ambitious study looks at converting food waste back into food
Swedish researchers talk about the potential of using fungi to convert food waste into valuable products. In addition to the usual biofuels, animal feed, and textiles produced from waste food, they want to turn the fungi into a protein-rich source of food for humans. Human civilization continues to churn out increasing amounts of waste products like plastic trash […]

Renewable fire-retardant coating developed by researchers
Few materials can match the performance of cellulose and clay: They’re readily available, nontoxic, and sustainable. Researchers from Texas A&M University leveraged the characteristics of these natural substances to invent a renewable flame-retardant coating. The new coating offers a whole new level of fire protection for polyurethane foam and other highly flammable materials. Furthermore, it’s made from some of […]

Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology: Once manufactured in a scalable, cost-effective way, researchers hope LOC can revolutionize medicine
Swedish researchers presented a cheap but effective device that can dispense and store precise amounts of liquids. The affordable invention might help accelerate the adoption and widespread deployment of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology. LOCs are the equivalent of tiny but powerful microprocessors. They cram the capabilities of a full-sized health care laboratory into a small and compact package. However, the high […]

Incognito: Disguises are surprisingly effective, according to study
People who need to hide their identities might successfully evade hostile surveillance by making minor yet deliberate changes to the way they appear. U.K. researchers explained that restyling the hair or putting on makeup to change the complexion of the skin proved enough to trick onlookers about the identity of a person. Researchers at the University of […]

New study says that tornadoes don’t drop from the sky – they rise from the ground up
Lex Luthor from the movie “Batman v Superman” said that devils come from the sky. Now imagine him saying that tornadoes don’t come from the clouds – they actually come up from the ground. This was the theory proposed by Ohio University researcher Jana Houser. She reported that detailed observations of four significant tornadoes in 2018 showed […]

Producing nutrient-rich foods can help address global problems like vitamin and mineral deficiencies
People around the world are not getting adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals from their diets. Illinois-based researchers warned that this nutritional discrepancy would persevere into the 2050s – unless micronutrient-rich foods are made cheaper and easier to access. Their study evaluated the changes in diets from 2018 to 2050. The results predicted that existing shortages in certain nutrients – calcium and vitamins D, E, and […]

Study reveals how mussels deal with microplastic pollution
Mussels often end up getting contaminated by the vast amount of microplastics that pollute the oceans. A new study showed that the animals successfully expel most of the tiny plastic fibers from their bodies. Microplastics are present in every part of the world’s oceans, even remote areas that are thousands of miles away from the nearest human presence. They are […]

Sci-fi in real life: Scientists propose building a space station INSIDE an asteroid and using its gravity to mine valuable space rocks
Move over, International Space Station (ISS) – Austrian researchers believe it is possible to build future space stations inside the bigger asteroids orbiting the Earth and mine the space rocks for valuable resources. In a study supported by the University of Vienna, the researchers used mathematics to demonstrate how to dig a tunnel toward the center of an asteroid, set up […]

Winter flower endemic to China, Chimonanthus or wintersweet, found to have a wide range of medicinal properties
The six species that make up the Chimonanthus genus of flowering plants are commonly prescribed as treatments in folk medicine or turned into healthy beverages and decoctions. A recent meta-analysis by Chinese researchers indicated that these plants – often called wintersweet – contain many natural compounds with various beneficial effects. Traditional Chinese medicine prescribes many […]
