Scientists reproduce an exotic form of magnesium and make some discoveries about its nuclear structure
Researchers previously created an exotic form of magnesium called magnesium-40 by adding as many neutrons as possible to the nucleus of the atom. Ten years later, a new research team came across new data on the nuclear structure of magnesium-40. The atomic number of an element depends on the number of positively-charged protons in its […]

The antibiotics of the future might come from… fish slime?
The mucus layer of fish protect them from injuries and harmful infections. Certain beneficial bacteria that live in fish slime might help in the development of new antimicrobial treatments for drug-resistant infections. Excessive use of antibiotics for treating minor diseases and for fattening animals has led to the appearance of multidrug-resistant bacteria. This has caused researchers to desperately […]

Straight out of sci-fi? Researchers say that aliens use black holes to travel
Black holes possess immense amounts of energy, and this very property has given a researcher the idea to use black holes as “launch pads” for starships preparing to explore the deep space. The black holes would curve laser beams back toward a receiving starship, and the boost in energy would help accelerate large spacecraft to relativistic […]

Not as easy as in the movies: Scientists say blowing up asteroids that threaten life on Earth will be extremely difficult
Most Hollywood films that revolve around asteroid impacts end with the heroes successfully blowing up the incoming space rock in the nick of time. But researchers warn that a potential killer asteroid hurtling toward Earth is going to be much harder to stop in real life. Like many others before them, the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) looked […]

After “the dress,” it’s the “cup” – 3D printed goblet can change color with different lighting conditions
Dutch researchers modernized an ancient technique for making materials that altered their color according to the lighting condition. They modified the method for use in 3D printing devices and applied nanotechnology to achieve the color-changing effects. The research team infused the printing ink mixture with tiny particles of gold. Trial runs printed a plastic goblet […]

New cathodes can lead to smaller, more powerful lithium batteries
A joint effort between American and Chinese researchers have delivered a new take on the cathode of a lithium battery. Their prototype negatively-charged electrode will help reduce the size and weight of energy storage systems. A smaller, lighter lithium battery makes it possible to fit more cells aboard electric vehicles, extending their range and endurance. […]

Leaves provide a window into the health of an ecosystem: Research confirms that they are sophisticated sensors of environmental health
Researchers found a possible method of evaluating the state of an environment. By analyzing the concentrations of nutrients stored in the leaves of locally found plants, they might get an accurate picture of the overall health of the local ecological systems. Known for hosting the photosynthetic process that provides plants with food and energy, leaves are […]

Engineers develop high energy density all-solid-state batteries
Solid-state battery technology has reached a new milestone in terms of energy storage. Thanks to the new conducting material developed by Japanese researchers, all-solid-state batteries will boast the greatest energy density yet. The hydride lithium superionic conductor arranges clusters of hydrogen anions (negative ions) into specialized structures. The material displays far greater stability against lithium metal, the […]

Quantum particles can fly through barriers, just like ghosts
Particles that are smaller than an atom can behave very strangely, thanks to a process called “quantum tunneling.” They can zip through barriers that keep larger objects out, and they do this instantaneously. Researchers in Australia have spent years studying electrons as the subatomic particles move away from their parent hydrogen atom. They found that quantum tunneling […]

Ancient Egyptian mining site reveals over 100 inscriptions
The ancient amethyst mine at Wadi el-Hudi, Egypt revealed something even more valuable than the purple-colored precious stones once extracted from there: Researchers have found more than 100 inscriptions cut into the rock of the site. Other discoveries included 14 steles and 45 ostraca. A stele (also called stela) is an engraving on a slab […]
