Natural skin whitener: Chaga mushroom extracts found to suppress tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanin production
To whiten your skin without using harsh synthetic chemicals, consider trying out chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus). Extracts made from this fungus can inhibit the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, thereby stopping the production of melanin in the skin. Chaga mushroom is a species of wild fungus that grows on birch trees in the northern part of the […]

Exposure to blue light decreases blood pressure, new study suggests
Changing out some of your bright white light bulbs for their blue-colored equivalents could improve your cardiovascular health. European researchers explained that exposing yourself to blue light over long periods of time could bring your blood pressure down to healthier levels, which could help to prevent the onset of heart and vascular diseases. They recently […]

Novel chemistry method paves the way for large-scale production of bioplastic bottles
Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is a growing […]

Essential oil of bald cypress can prevent food spoilage
Researchers from Egypt have a good reason to be excited about the essential oil of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). They say that the powerful antimicrobial activity of the oil makes it the perfect solution to the problem of food spoilage. When food becomes spoiled, it is no longer fit for human consumption. It must be thrown out […]

New flexible sensor can map blood-oxygen levels over large areas of skin
Oxygen is an important ingredient in the body’s natural healing process. To accurately determine if the blood has enough of this vital molecule, researchers have designed a handy oximeter to help in treating injuries. The new blood-oxygen sensor is a flexible device that can scan considerable swathes of skin, tissue, and even organs. By analyzing the […]

Researchers find a powerful fuel catalyst – in Jell-O
The ingredient responsible for Jell-O’s famous jiggling can be used to make an incredibly cost-effective catalyst for producing hydrogen fuel. Researchers claimed that their gelatin-derived compound can match the performance of its much more expensive platinum-based equivalent. The new water-splitting material is made up of extremely thin sheets of metal carbide, an inexpensive earth element found nearly everywhere. Gelatin is […]

New model predicts which viruses can jump from animals to people
We can now be warned in advance when a potentially deadly virus makes the transition from its usual animal carriers to its new human victims, thanks to a model developed by American researchers. The model predicts which of these zoonotic pathogens could eventually evolve into a form that can spread from human to human. Zoonotic diseases (zoonoses […]

New nanomaterial could lead to a highly sensitive biomolecule sensor or a more efficient solar cell
Visible and infrared light will not escape from the new plasmonic absorber developed by Singaporean researchers. Called Ag-Sb2S3, the silver-based nanomaterial can transfer all of the light it captures to photovoltaic cells for producing energy, or to sensitive detectors that can pick out minute biomolecules floating in the air. Despite being made from expensive silver, Ag-Sb2S3 enjoys low […]

2 Commonly consumed vegetables in southern Nigeria found to prevent neurodegeneration
Many of the protective alkaloids produced by plants demonstrate beneficial effects for humans when cooked and consumed as food. A Nigerian study investigated the neuroprotective activity of the phytochemicals in editan (Lasianthera africana) and utazi (Gongronema latifolium), two edible plants that are widely cultivated in Africa. Support for this study came from Federal University of Technology […]

Research team detects the existence of water in a multiple asteroids for the first time
Infrared satellite imagery of near-Earth objects have picked up the presence of mineral crystals that contain liquid water. Japanese researchers remarked that this was the first time hydrated minerals have been found inside asteroids. Further investigation of these imprisoned water samples can tell us about how our planet got its water in the first place. Earth is the sole planet in […]
