Can small stars support alien life? An astrophysicist talks about the potential these exoplanets may have
Since the discovery of the first confirmed exoplanet in 1992, astronomers have found nearly 4,000 of these celestial bodies. Many of these planets orbit small stars like the numerous red dwarf stars. A Space.com article states that some of these exoplanets could support alien life despite the challenges posed by their parent star. Despite their […]

Attenuating liver intoxication induced by acetaminophen with extract of Dicranopteris linearis
A Malaysian research team reported on the hepatoprotective activity of a methanolic extract derived from the common fern Dicranopteris linearis. They reported that the extract protected the liver of mice and rats against toxic levels of acetaminophen (APAP). The Universiti Putra Malaysia sponsored the study, whose findings were presented in the scientific journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. […]

MIT researchers develop a machine that manipulates hypnagogia, the state between wakefulness and sleep
As we move from sharp awareness to restful sleep, we undergo hypnagogia, a state where we experience small but surreal dreams that escape our recollection when we wake up. In a Motherboard article, an MIT team reported how they developed a device that can access this dreamland. MIT Media Lab researcher Adam Horowitz led the efforts to create Dormio, […]

Scientists create superionic ice – an ice 60x denser than ordinary water ice and forms at temperatures almost as hot as the sun
Imagine ice that is simultaneously a solid and a liquid, has 60 times the density of normal ice, and capable of forming on the burning surface of the sun. It is called “superionic ice,” an article in Space.com states, and California-based researchers have just created it. This previously theoretical form of ice was first conceived […]

Scientists take super close-up shots of the human bone to understand why they are so strong
To truly understand the sturdiness of human bones, U.K. researchers have peered deeper into their structure than ever before. In a Scientific American article, they reported finding helix-shaped nanostructures twisting into and around equally thin spirals of fibrils. The nanostructures are made up of mineral crystallites, while fibrils are a type of protein collagen. These […]

Study suggests electrically charging airplanes to avoid lightning strikes by repelling the energy
We already fight wildfires with controlled burns, so why not do the same with lightning and electricity? Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing just that – developing a device that electrically charges an aircraft to avoid lightning, reported a ScienceDaily article. There’s no commercial aircraft in the world that hasn’t been struck by […]

Novel “gut-on-a-chip” recreates the intestinal matrix to allow nutritionists to understand how our gut works
Studying the complex human gut could become much easier thanks to a new biochip. In a Newswise article, the latest refinement of this “gut-on-a-chip” can provide an accurate simulation of the intestinal matrix. The gut is made up of billions of human cells and an even larger number of microbes from different species. These two […]

Future missions to Mars being made to detect amino acids
The soil on Mars is filled with chemical compounds that make short work of organic compounds. Yet NASA remains hopeful about finding signs of life on the Red Planet, so the agency developed an experiment for a future Mars mission that can detect amino acids, an article in Space.com stated. Amino acids are considered to […]

New generation of superconductors use high entropy alloys
In a recent Science Daily article, Japanese researchers presented the first of a new generation of superconductors. These highly-conductive materials incorporate a high-entropy alloy made from not just one or two or even three, but five separate rare earth metals (REMs). The researchers combined layers of bismuth sulfide (BiS2) superconductor with high-entropy REM alloy oxyfluoride. […]

New nanoscale coating for solar cells able to absorb 20 percent more sunlight
You may have heard of whispering galleries like the National Statuary Hall in the Capitol Building, where you can hear what’s being said on the other side of the half-dome. Maryland researchers created a nanoscale coating that traps light in a similar way, an article in Science Daily states. When applied on a solar cell, the […]
