New camera helps people “see” the invisible using high-frequency waves
Delaware-based researchers have come up with the next best thing to having Superman’s X-ray vision. Their new device can produce millimeter waves that penetrate opaque solids and reveal the objects obscured by the obstacle, much like how an X-ray machine shows the internals of the body. Millimeter waves occupy a band of frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 […]

Researchers build a robotic platform to observe the effects of neonicotinoids on bee behavior
A video camera-controlling robot was used to record the negative effects of neonicotinoids on bumblebees. The Harvard-designed machine was able to record and show the disruptive effects of the pesticides on the way the bees behaved, interacted with other members of their nest, and regulated their body temperature. Bees are in serious danger from widely used neonicotinoid pesticides. […]

Novel research raises prospects for large-scale production of algae-derived starch
Japanese researchers found the natural means by which a species of algae regulates its starch production. They believe this biological mechanism can be used to increase the starch content of algae, which would make it much more efficient and profitable to cultivate the tiny plant on an agricultural scale. Starch is not just the natural […]

Experts developing devices that run 100 times faster than regular computers, and use just a fraction of the energy
Nowadays, it isn’t enough to make a computer chip faster, especially if it is going to use up more electricity as well. So Canadian researchers devised an all-silicon computing device that they built on the atomic scale in order to increase both processing power and energy efficiency. The prototype device is not just the herald of lightning-fast computing […]

Ecologists warn that water-dwelling creatures are being inundated with antidepressants from human waste that gets flushed out to waterways
Australian researchers warned that Melbourne’s waterways contain high levels of dozens of different pharmaceutical drugs. These chemical antibiotics, antidepressants, and painkillers have not just contaminated the water itself, but have also tainted the local aquatic animals. According to their survey of creeks in Victoria, animals in the most heavily contaminated creek could accidentally ingest up […]

Researchers unlock the extraordinary potential of graphene
There is a good reason why graphene has failed to live up to its hype as a revolutionary “supermaterial,” Australian researchers revealed. They found that silicon contaminants in the graphite raw material are to blame for its under-performance – and if the impurities can be eliminated, graphene can finally attain its true power as an electronics […]

Nanotechnology breakthrough helps diabetics track their blood sugar levels
Patients with Type 1 diabetes can thank Oregon-based researchers for developing a wearable medical device that works like an artificial pancreas. 3D printed instead of built, its nano sensors keep a constant eye on blood glucose levels, so that it can deliver insulin and glucagon to the patient whenever necessary. The new device was designed by researchers at the […]

Scientists have discovered a explanation for the radiation belts around Saturn
It turns out that the established school of scientific thought regarding Saturn is – while not entirely wrong – insufficient to explain the origin of its radiation belts. An international team of researchers proposed that the high-energy particles in those belts are not just affected by radial diffusion, but also by their interactions with Z-mode waves. The magnetic field of a […]

Uranium mining has dramatically increased the rates of cardiovascular and metabolic disease among those living close to the mines
All of the uranium mines in New Mexico have remained dormant since the last one shut down in 1998. But their long-term health effects are still being felt by the people of Navajo Nation, who are plagued by a high rate of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders attributed to living near the mining sites. Researchers at New Mexico Institute […]

New material made from recycled plastic bottles could help reduce water pollution
Singaporean researchers have come up with a new incentive for people to recycle disposable PET plastic bottles instead of just throwing them away. They can turn the plastic waste into a group of very useful materials called aerogels, which would make the disposable bottles well worth the effort of holding on to or recovering from […]
