Could plastic bags be upcycled into parts for lithium-ion batteries?
Indiana-based researchers found a way to upcycle disposable plastic bags into raw material for making valuable products. Their process turned polyethylene plastic into carbon chips with sufficient purity to serve as materials for manufacturing anodes of lithium-ion batteries. Plastic pollution is one of the biggest problems threatening the environment. A lot of this trash comes in the form of disposable […]

Scientists discover that Earth’s magnetic field functions like a drum; impulses ripple along its surface
Every time it gets hit by solar wind and other cosmic impulses, the magnetic field of Earth ripples until the waves arrive at the magnetic poles, which shunts the force back into space. Researchers liken this effect to a percussion drum being played. The theory about the Earth’s magnetopause – the outer border of the […]

New study says that tornadoes don’t drop from the sky – they rise from the ground up
Lex Luthor from the movie “Batman v Superman” said that devils come from the sky. Now imagine him saying that tornadoes don’t come from the clouds – they actually come up from the ground. This was the theory proposed by Ohio University researcher Jana Houser. She reported that detailed observations of four significant tornadoes in 2018 showed […]

Study reveals how mussels deal with microplastic pollution
Mussels often end up getting contaminated by the vast amount of microplastics that pollute the oceans. A new study showed that the animals successfully expel most of the tiny plastic fibers from their bodies. Microplastics are present in every part of the world’s oceans, even remote areas that are thousands of miles away from the nearest human presence. They are […]

Green and clean: Energy-efficient water purification system developed by scientists
Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour. It also killed nearly all of […]

Sci-fi in real life: Scientists propose building a space station INSIDE an asteroid and using its gravity to mine valuable space rocks
Move over, International Space Station (ISS) – Austrian researchers believe it is possible to build future space stations inside the bigger asteroids orbiting the Earth and mine the space rocks for valuable resources. In a study supported by the University of Vienna, the researchers used mathematics to demonstrate how to dig a tunnel toward the center of an asteroid, set up […]

How does metabolism affect aging? Scientists study worms to find out
The metabolic flux of a minuscule worm called Caenorhabditis elegans might hold the key to human aging. Researchers came up with a model of the metabolism of C. elegans that offered a better understanding of the relationship between aging and metabolism. Metabolism turns food into energy that powers cellular processes. It also supplies the building blocks that the organism needs […]

Having constantly stressed ancestors may improve your own immune response to stressors, suggest research
A new study showed that the descendants of lizards who lived in high-stress environments developed stronger immune systems than those descended from lizards who lived in low-stress environments. Based on this discovery, researchers should consider looking at family history in future studies investigating stress and its effects on health. Long periods of stress can compromise the immune system of an organism, rendering it more vulnerable to […]

Can a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) negatively affect brain function?
The surgical removal of any organ is bound to cause a lot of health problems. It goes double if the body part is integral to the body of a person, such as the uterus of a woman. So it is not surprising – but still appalling – to learn about the connection between surgical hysterectomy and higher risks of memory loss. A hysterectomy is a surgical operation that removes a […]

The power of suggestion: Psychological placebos found to be as effective as medical placebos
Swiss researchers suggest that placebos were all in the mind. They recently conducted a trio of experiments that indicated a placebo didn’t need to come in physical form, as long as a healthcare professional could convince a patient about the supposed effectiveness of the psychological placebo. A placebo is any substance or treatment that does not […]
