New study finds that 1/3 of fish in two freshwater estuaries in the UK have ingested plastics
You may want to reconsider chowing down on the next fish you caught if you spotted plastic trash floating in the body of water. In a Phys.org article, U.K. researchers investigated two separate estuaries and found that one out of every three fish in both areas showed signs of having eaten toxic microplastics. Microplastics are […]

Could bioplastics be a more sustainable option for 3D printed buildings?
Although the construction industry is adopting 3D printing techniques, old-fashioned concrete remains the building material of choice. But experts believe bioplastics will eventually usurp concrete due to their greater sustainability. Zoubeir Lafhaj of the École Centrale de Lille (ECL) explained that 3D printing is one of the pillars of the current industrial revolution. He predicted […]

New building material “memory steel” reinforces concrete structures without hydraulic prestressing
Swiss researchers have pioneered a new type of steel for the construction industry. Called “memory steel,” the alloy eschews the need for the complex process of hydraulic prestressing, stated a Newswise article. Concrete buildings rely on steel reinforcements to stiffen their frames. The metal used in these structures are usually prestressed through hydraulic means. A […]

MIT researchers develop new method that makes it possible to mass produce tiny robots no bigger than a cell
American researchers can now produce large numbers of microscopic robots that are no bigger than a single cell. These synthetic cell (syncell) robots are made en masse by fracturing graphene sheets to produce pockets of the right shape and size in a process called “autoperforation.” The pockets produced by this process will be fitted with […]

Alleviating the pain of lumbar disk herniation with acupuncture
There have been many studies that investigated the use of acupuncture to alleviate intense pain caused by all kinds of diseases and injuries. One of the recurring targets of the traditional Chinese treatment is lumbar disk herniation. More commonly known as a “slipped disk” or “ruptured disk,” lumbar disk herniation is the painful instance when one of the […]

Mosquitoes and other insects found to spread microplastics pollution throughout the food web
Mosquitoes and other insects could be carrying an unexpected and completely different type of toxin in their bodies. A new study from the United Kingdom warned that these bugs could turn out to be carriers for microplastic pollution, stated a Scientific American article. The study found that mosquito larvae will swallow tiny bits of plastic waste […]

New alternative cancer remedies found in yarrow and marigold
Two cousins from the Asteracea family of plants could possibly provide a natural approach to treating pancreatic cancer. Based on the findings of a Spanish study, extracts of the common marigold (Calendula officionalis) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium) could slow down or even stop the growth of cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer is the fifth deadliest cancer […]

Researchers develop a nanoporous material capable of storing information using less energy
An article in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Newsroom reported on an efficient new data storage material that requires much less energy and generates far less heat than current technology. Once it is refined, it could lead to energy-efficient data servers that do not need freezing temperatures. Most electronic devices store data in magnetic memories. A device can add, alter, or remove […]

Study: Outdoor air pollution increases risk of diabetes globally
American researchers recently warned that there is no such thing as safe levels of pollution. In an Integrative Practitioner article, their new study warns that even light levels of outdoor air pollution could increase the chances of contracting diabetes. At the same time, they believe that the number of diabetes cases in heavily-polluted countries such […]

Scientists develop a method of creating quantum communication through standard optical fiber
Most telecommunications networks nowadays use optical fiber that can transport large amounts of data at high speeds. But these cables are incompatible with the wavelengths of even more powerful and much more secure quantum communications. In a Science Daily article, Dutch researchers have found a way to leverage existing optical fiber networks for quantum communications. […]
