New class of strong biocompatible adhesives made from silk
Silk is usually used to make beautiful yet durable clothes and fabrics. Korean researchers demonstrated that the ancient material can be used as an effective yet comfortable bio-compatible adhesive for epidermal electronics. These skin-attached electronics need an “interface” that connects the sensor and the biological surface. The glue must be strong enough to keep the sensor in place […]

Scientists develop a new biomaterial made from citrate to help hasten bone regeneration
Broken bones take long periods of time to heal because growing new tissue requires a lot of energy. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have come up with a way to supercharge the regeneration process: a citrate-based biomaterial that provides stem cells with the energy boost they need. Citrate is naturally found in bones and citrus fruit. It […]

Steel found to have “fingerprints” which could help researchers detect tampered parts
It turns out that steel possesses the magnetic equivalent of a “fingerprint” that changes from sample to sample. Even products drawn from the same batch of raw materials and made using the exact same techniques will display different and unique magnetic fingerprints. Researchers believe they could use this property to identify and authenticate the steel items. Officials who enforce […]

Fascinating study finds a species of wasps that transforms a “social” spider into a zombie-like drone
In the depths of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, there is a parasitic wasp with a ghastly means of reproduction. It lays an egg on a live social spider, and when the larva hatches, it hijacks the body of its host to build a cocoon for it. Then it kills the spider and moves inside its new home to […]

It takes just 6 hours for billions of nanoplastics to accumulate in marine organisms
The next time your dinner plate contains any kind of clam harvested from the sea, you may want to order a plant-based salad instead. A recent British study has shown that scallops and other similar marine bivalve mollusks can get completely contaminated by nano-sized bits of plastics after just a few hours of exposure. The great scallop (Pecten […]

Ecologists warn that water-dwelling creatures are being inundated with antidepressants from human waste that gets flushed out to waterways
Australian researchers warned that Melbourne’s waterways contain high levels of dozens of different pharmaceutical drugs. These chemical antibiotics, antidepressants, and painkillers have not just contaminated the water itself, but have also tainted the local aquatic animals. According to their survey of creeks in Victoria, animals in the most heavily contaminated creek could accidentally ingest up […]

Researchers unlock the extraordinary potential of graphene
There is a good reason why graphene has failed to live up to its hype as a revolutionary “supermaterial,” Australian researchers revealed. They found that silicon contaminants in the graphite raw material are to blame for its under-performance – and if the impurities can be eliminated, graphene can finally attain its true power as an electronics […]

Giant-leaved fig shows excellent hepatoprotective properties
An Egyptian study examined the antioxidant and hepatoprotective potential of the giant-leaved fig (Ficus lutea). Extracts and fractions derived from the leaves of the plant were tested for their ability to scavenge free radicals, as well as their effects on rats with carbon tetrachloride-induced liver disorders. The researchers received support from the National Research Centre, and they published […]

Exploring natural stimulant and non-stimulant thermogenic agents that aid in energy metabolism and weight loss
An American review examined the potential of botanical thermogenic agents as natural means of managing weight and preventing the onset of obesity. They identified how the agents generally worked, their potential side effects, and possible substances that could be combined with them. This review was conducted by researchers from Creighton University. They published their findings in […]

Scientists warn that the world’s most unusual sharks and rays are on the “brink of extinction”
Humankind’s destructive actions have driven many of the strangest-looking chimeras, rays, and sharks to the edge of extinction. London-based researchers warned that the impending loss of these ancient animals will be massive blows to biological diversity and evolutionary history. The critically endangered species include the biggest and smallest sharks in the world and an electric […]
