An innovative new water filter uses bacteria to kill other bacteria
In a case of fighting fire with fire, Missouri-based researchers used a type of bacteria to produce the active material for making the membrane of a water filter. When exposed to light, the material released heat that killed harmful bacteria, thereby preventing the biological fouling of the filter. In response to the increasing strain on the […]

Astronomers study the radiation from supermassive black holes to track the expansion of the universe since the Big Bang
Researchers took advantage of the immense bursts of radiation given off by supermassive black holes to measure the expansion of the universe, an ongoing process that began a billion years after the Big Bang. Based on their calculations, the universe was expanding faster than previously believed. The ancient black holes at the heart of distant galaxies served as beacons […]

Turmeric is a better and safer way to treat spinal cord injury than conventional drugs
Patients afflicted with spinal cord injuries (SCI) can finally have an alternative means of relieving their chronic pain without resorting to surgery or pharmaceutical drugs. Instead of undergoing an expensive operation or taking toxic corticosteroids, they can get effective pain relief from curcumin, the primary bioactive compound of the popular Indian spice turmeric. Researchers from the medical centers of […]

REALLY clean energy: Solar cells are now made from lead-free materials
Solar cells will soon become even cleaner and safer for humans without sacrificing cost and efficiency. The new perovskovite materials developed by Korean researchers do not have a single molecule of dangerous lead in them, making them safe for commercial use. Perovskovites are a class of materials with a crystalline structure similar to natural perovskite. They are […]

Rocks could be the next best thing in energy storage
Beneath the waters off the coasts of certain countries lie layers of rocks that can allow the passage of air and water through them. Scottish researchers suggested that the porous rock formations off the North Sea coastline of the U.K. could serve as storage areas for renewable energy over long periods of time. Based on the […]

Finally a use for biosludge: Scientists recycle biosolids into construction-ready bricks
Recycling is all well and good. But there should be a logical limit as to which waste products should be reused and how they are going to be recycled. For example, turning biosolids into bricks sounds good on paper, but people may not be so eager about building their homes out of solidified sewage. “Biosolids” is the euphemistic term for the leftover sewage sludge of […]

Carbon emissions can now be upcycled into usable energy
South Korean researchers came up with a new clean energy generation system that could capture, use, and store carbon-based air pollutants. In addition to producing both electricity and hydrogen fuel, it also prevented the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Their hybrid sodium-carbon dioxide (Na-CO2) system used an aqueous solution to swiftly dissolve CO2 in […]

Healing hearts: Scientists discover a protein that promotes the growth of small arteries that can supply oxygen to damaged heart tissues
Researchers discovered a protein that encourages the formation of small arteries in a mice model. They believe that these newly formed arteries could help heal damage caused by cardiovascular disease and supply the heart with fresh oxygen. Researchers from the Stanford School of Medicine were inspired to do the study after observing the different outcomes of patients with blockages […]

Antimony-carbon anode could pave the way for developing next-gen batteries
A newly developed antimony-carbon composite could solve the problems that beset potassium-ion battery (PIB) technology. An anode made from this material increased the amount of energy that could be stored inside the PIB unit. At the same time, it would degrade at a slower rate with every use, allowing it to last much longer. Potassium is […]

Researchers use 3D printers to make a state-of-the-art “artificial nose” that can detect toxic gases
There is almost no scent that could escape the gas sensor developed by Canadian researchers. Dubbed the “artificial nose” because it performed almost as well as the actual organ on humans, the new odor detector could analyze all kinds of scents, including dangerous gases that might cause harm to humans if inhaled. In their official statement, University […]
