NIH-funded study looks at how sharks have evolved to use electric fields to locate prey
Sharks are able to sense the faint electrical field emitted by an object. Recent research suggests that their electrosensing organ is tuned in an “all-or-nothing” manner that figures out if the object is edible – and if they think it is prey, they will immediately take a bite out of it, an article from the […]

Researchers develop an artificial nervous system that gives robots the ability to sense touch
American and Korean researchers have given robots yet another sense once restricted to living organisms: the sense of touch. An article in Science Daily stated that the researchers developed artificial sensory nerves that work like the real thing. When attached to a cockroach’s leg, the artificial nerves can trigger the twitch reflex. The nerves are […]

Scientists look at the purple mangosteen to treat malaria
An Indonesian study investigated the ability of the purple mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) to suppress malaria. In addition to reporting that the extract and fractions found in the fruit’s rind showed promise as antimalarials, the study added that the natural bio-active compounds improved the effects of the antimalarial compound artemisinin. The study was conducted by the Maranatha […]

“Air-con” clothes? Scientists develop cooling fabric inspired by the comet moth
Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate their cooling […]

Your brain may be older than your body, new study finds
A new animal study suggests that aging affects the brain earlier than the rest of the body. During the experiment, the immune cells of the brains of middle-aged mice showed similar activity to the ones in older mice, an article in American Physiological Society states. These cells are called microglia cells, which control potentially harmful […]

Japanese researchers develop a way to monitor the inside of the brain in real time
A Japanese study combined two different techniques in order to keep track of live changes inside the brain. This new real-time observation method enables a brand new field of research dubbed “real-time metabolomics,” an article in Alpha Galileo states. Disease research places great importance on staying atop of the latest growth, development, and changes of […]

Cool science: Ruthenium is the fourth element discovered to have unique magnetic properties at room temperature
The exclusive club of single elements that display ferromagnetism at room temperatures now has a new member. Minnesota-based researchers reported that ruthenium can have magnetic properties in ambient temperature, an article in Science Daily states. Ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism wherein the material creates permanent magnets or are drawn towards magnets. Until recently, only three […]

Traditional ethnomedicine from Egypt proven to have strong antioxidant activity
Traditional Egyptian medicine used the leaves of the warka fig (Ficus vasta) as a remedy for different kinds of diseases. A team of Italian researchers reported that a hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of the indigenous tree contains phenolics with significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, and metal chelation activities. The study was supported by the University of […]
