Spider silk is so strong that researchers can use it to improve the performance of piezoelectric nanogenerators
Spider silk is pretty strong stuff. It’s so strong, Indian and South Korean researchers are using it to create nano-scale piezoelectric generators. In an article in Nanowerk, the researchers reported getting spider silk molecules to generate an electric charge when placed under physical pressure. This was the first time a piezoelectric response has been elicited […]

Scientists find Ayurvedic medicine can help treat Type 2 diabetes
Patients with Type 2 diabetics may have a new, natural means of treating their complicated disease. Sri Lankan researchers tested the leaves of the red sandalwood for anti-diabetic properties. They reported that the leaves of this Ayurvedic medicinal plant possess potent anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity. Nine out of every 10 diabetics have Type 2 diabetes. […]

Giant black hole blasted out a jet of particles at 125 billion times the amount of energy the sun releases per year, confirms new study
For the first time ever, European astronomers recorded a torrent of energy many billions of times more powerful than the annual output of our Sun in a distant galaxy. The source of this monstrous blast was a star getting eaten by a supermassive black hole, an article on Space.com reported. Thanks to this discovery, the researchers will […]

Physicists demonstrate a way to conduct electricity between transistors without energy loss
Chinese researchers have created a new superconductor, a material that can transport electrical energy between transistors with such efficiency that there is no energy lost during the transfer. In an article in Science Daily, their discovery can lead to the development of electronics that can run on very little power and quantum computers whose speeds […]

Researchers boost crop production 47% by speeding photorespiration
Natural proteins are just as important for plants as they are for humans. In an article on Science Daily, researchers described how higher levels of a particular factor, H-protein, could improve the photorespiration of plants, which would in turn greatly increase the yield of the crop. The H-protein in question is usually found in the […]

Unexpected discovery could pave the way to more efficient biofuels and bioproducts
An ordinary yet important enzyme might be the key to unlocking even more riches out of plants. In an article on News Wise, Tennessee-based researchers announced that the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase could make it much easier to turn plants into valuable biofuels and bioproducts. Amino acids are vital for both plants and the organisms […]

Will future buildings be made from vegetables?
Eating vegetables obviously makes people stronger. A U.K. study recently demonstrated that using vegetable-derived materials in the construction of a building apparently makes the structure stronger, too, an article in Alpha Galileo stated. The fibers found in carrots, sugar beets, and other root vegetables are good for digestion and beneficial bacteria in humans. The nanoplatelets […]

Researchers create a laser that can “smell” different gases
A laser can do many things, but Australian researchers have created one that can “sniff” out the faintest of odors from the air. An article in Science Daily detailed how the modified device can match the nose of a bloodhound when it comes to identifying different gases in a single sample. The University of Adelaide […]

Engineers devise a system that recovers fresh water from power plants
What do you think of an electrical power plant that can also provide an inexpensive source of drinking water? Engineers have come up with a way to recover the water used to cool power plants and purify it for human consumption, an article in Science Direct stated. Nearly 40 percent of the water drawn from freshwater sources […]

REPORT: The U.S. intelligence community wants to use DNA as the next data storage trove
The amount of electronic data we generate every year is quickly outstripping the capacity of the latest storage systems. The U.S. intelligence community wants a new storage material that can accomodate all that data. In an article on Live Science, they are looking into a rather concerning source that is known to store dense amounts of […]
