Could the solution to plastic pollution be found in this caterpillar?
Caterpillars are hungry little creatures. They eat a lot of food and store it as energy for their future transformation into butterflies or moths. While they usually eat plant matter, a BBC article reported that the larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) appeared to eat plastic. An amateur beekeeper found a caterpillar of […]

“Solar flow battery” soaks up sunlight and stores it as energy for on-demand use
A joint effort between American and Saudi Arabian researchers produced a gadget that combines the functions of a battery and a solar cell. They reported that their “solar flow battery” can absorb sunlight, convert it into chemical energy, and hold the energy until there is need for it. The Science Daily article explained that the […]

How does micronutrient deficiency affect gut microbes?
You aren’t the only one who gets nourished by the food you eat – the good bacteria in your gut also benefit from it, thanks to the micronutrients found in your food. An article in the Sanford Burnham Prebys news page reported that a deficiency in vitamins and minerals harms your gut microbiota. This is particularly worrisome given […]

Molecules created when the body metabolizes omega-3s demonstrate anticancer activity
An animal model held by American researchers demonstrated that epoxy docosapentaenoic-ethanolamides (EDP-EA) could suppress the development, growth, and spread of osteosarcoma in mice. EDP-EA are molecules derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a dietary omega-3 fatty acid. The study was supported by the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Its results were published in the Journal of Medicinal […]

Is this the end of de-icing? Passive solar-powered system prevents freezing on airplanes and other surfaces
When ice builds up in your home or office, you either fire up the power-intensive heaters or resort to chemical sprays that will damage the environment. So American researchers recently developed an alternative de-icing system that draws upon the heat of the sun to keep ice from forming on important items, an article in Science […]

Irish researchers detail a potential solution for tackling plastic waste
Every day, the average American churns out a lot of plastic garbage that takes forever to decay. Over time, the nearly-indestructible waste piles up and contaminates the surroundings, causing serious harm to the environment and human health. This prompted Irish researchers to look for a way to manage the ever-growing mountains of plastic waste we […]

Strongest known material in the universe found in the crust of neutron stars
Deep beneath the surface of immensely dense neutron stars lie what is perhaps the strongest matter known to science. It also happens to be named after one of the most well-known and tasty foods in Italian cuisine, an article in Science Daily reported. This material is called “nuclear pasta.” Despite the name that combines radioactive horror […]

A trip to Mars would heavily irradiate astronauts with potentially deadly doses of cosmic radiation
Dr. McCoy of Star Trek once described space as disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence. The fictional character is now being echoed by Bulgarian researchers, who claim that manned deep-space missions to Mars will face extreme dangers far greater than those encountered by the Apollo missions. The researchers based their claims on the […]

An engineering feat: Different types of silk in a spider web allow it to effectively capture prey
To human eyes, a spiderweb looks beautiful yet delicate. However, the strands are tough enough to survive contact with much larger animals. At the same time, they are also small enough to evade the notice of the prey that the web is intended to reveal and ensnare. Intrigued by this duality, a group of researchers […]

Physicists are now able to manipulate and control individual molecules for a millionth of a billionth of a second
U.K. researchers recently demonstrated a newfound technique to manipulate extremely brief chemical reactions involving individual molecules. A Nanowerks article reported that these reactions last for just a millionth of a billionth of a second, making the technique one of the most precise means of control known to man. They developed the technique after getting unexpected […]
