New study sheds light on the nature of “whistlers”, ultralow frequency radio waves
Whenever a bolt of lightning strikes one of the Earth’s natural magnetic fields, the event generates radio waves called “whistlers.” A novel American study has made new discoveries about these phenomena that could potentially be used to improve existing plasma technology, an article in Science Daily stated. Whistler waves are packets of very low frequency […]

Manure-based fertilizers are ideal alternatives to conventional varieties, according to a study
A seven-year-long study conducted by Spanish researchers in a farm under the Mediterranean sun has concluded its comparison of natural and synthetic fertilizers. The researchers reported that manure-based fertilizer greatly improved the crop yield, both on its own and when added to chemical fertilizer. The goal of the Universitat de Lleida (UDL) research team was […]

New biosynthetic spider silk behaves like the real thing … and scientists say they’re about to make it even stronger
There are very few things in nature that are stronger and tougher than the silk that makes up spiderwebs. An article in Science Daily stated that Washington-based researchers have not only managed to biologically synthesize a version of spider silk, they also know how to improve it even further. In its natural form, spider silk […]
