What you need to know about the Oort Cloud, a giant shell of icy bodies that encircle the solar system
Humans could one day develop sufficiently-advanced space travel that can reach other stars. As they leave Earth behind, those interstellar starships must pass through the Oort Cloud that encloses the solar system, an article in Space.com explained. This huge intrasolar shell is inhabited by numerous celestial bodies. Some of these frozen rocks can match the […]

Some supernova explosions produce large quantities of manganese and nickel
Much of the iron, manganese, and nickel found in the universe come from a specific type of supernova. This supernova starts out as a white dwarf star in a binary system. The carbon-oxygen star detonates right before it reaches the maximum amount of mass it can control. This maximum mass value is called the Chandrasekhar mass. […]

Real-life adamantium? Scientists identify a metal alloy that can withstand ultra-high pressure and temperature
A newly developed metal alloy is the closest thing humans have ever come to creating the fictional element adamantium. Its Japanese developers have described it as the perfect material for withstanding the ultra-high heat and pressure of jet engines, gas turbines, and other power generation systems. Bearing the lengthy name of titanium carbide-reinforced, molybdenum-silicon-boron alloy […]

A look at how our brain purposely forgets something
The brain doesn’t just forget memories by accident or through injury. Sometimes, it loses it on purpose, especially when the person doesn’t want to remember the particular information. A RUB news article identified the specific regions and activity of the brain that are responsible for deliberate forgetfulness. The Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) led a joint research effort of German, […]

New study shows evidence that ancient Mars could have supported underground microbial life
The surface of Mars might be barren today, but conditions underground could have been hospitable for alien life in the distant past. Researchers are now theorizing that there was enough hydrogen dissolved in the ground that could have sustained certain types of microbes. This finding is based on similar subterranean conditions on Earth. These subsurface […]

Deep space travel can significantly damage GI function in astronauts, study finds
Going to Mars is much more dangerous than previously imagined. American researchers have found that the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of astronauts will be badly damaged by exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) during long voyages through deep space. The Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) research team has been using animal models to simulate the radiation […]

The future is here: Plastic film that you can wear on your fingertips can diagnose medical conditions
From the shores of Japan comes a film so thin, it could be folded a thousand times like a traditional samurai sword. And yet the folded plastic would still be slender enough to detect light, an article in Nanowerks reported. The polymer material was developed by a research team from the RIKEN research institute. It […]

Study: Almost ALL our genes are influenced by the food we eat
Clothes may make the man, but his diet goes into the genes that make up the man. The Francis Crick Institute News reported that the food we consume could affect nearly all of our genetic data. This yeast model was constructed by researchers from the University of Cambridge as well as the FCI. It indicated that the […]

New anti-frosting surface keeps windows 90% dry and frost-free indefinitely without any chemicals or energy inputs
Winter is coming. But this may be the last time that it can drape frost and ice over any unprotected surface. A Science Daily article brought up the debut of the very first passive anti-frosting surface, which can prevent the buildup of ice without using chemicals or electricity. Developed by Virginia Tech (VT) researchers, the […]
