Scientists transfer one snail’s memory onto another, potentially unlocking secrets of human memory transfer
American researchers reported that they implanted the memory of a sea snail into another individual snail. The technique might very well be applied to humans in the future, allowing memories to be transferred, altered, or even erased. The researchers developed the technique with Aplysia snails, which are also called sea snails, sea hares, and sea […]

Could eggshell membranes be the next great biomaterial for harvesting green energy?
Of all the naturally occurring organic materials in the world, you wouldn’t think eggs would have anything to do with collecting clean, sustainable energy. And it is not even the entire egg, but just the shell. An article on Nanowerks covered how eggshell membranes might serve as a biomaterial for piezoelectric materials used in nanogenerators. […]

Sunlight triggers chemical reactions that make the Deepwater Horizon oil spill unlikely to degrade
Eight years have passed since the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010. But oil continues to persist in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A study warned that this water pollution is caused by chemical reactions in the oil due to exposure to sunlight, an article on Science News reported. The disaster was the biggest marine oil spill […]

Astronomers: Life has a “fighting chance” in planets around Alpha Centauri A and B
Two of the three closest stars outside our solar system are reportedly emitting comparable amounts of X-ray energy as the sun. That tolerable level of radiation gives alien life a “fighting chance” to survive on any planets that might be lurking around one of those stars, an article in Space.com stated. These stars are known […]

Adding silicate rocks to farmland could restore soil, protect against pests and disease, and capture CO2, improving global food security
The groundbreaking results of a new British-led study suggested a simple yet profoundly effective way to improve global food supplies and cut down on carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution: Farm crops with crushed silicate rocks. An international research team headed by University of Sheffield researchers have found that the addition of crushed silicate rocks brought significant advantages […]

Researchers have developed a new way to regenerate dental enamel
Dentists may soon be able to restore the enamel that our teeth have lost from constant wear and tear. In an article in Science Daily, British researchers announced a method that can regenerate hard tissues such as dental enamel. Enamel covers the outer part of our teeth. It is the toughest tissue in the human […]

The rise of Terminator-like machines: Biohybrid robot made with muscles grown from hydrogel sheets
What did Japanese researchers do when they found a new way to grow biological muscles out of hydrogel sheets? Why, make cyborgs, of course. An article in Science Daily detailed how they created a robot with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton using their newly developed technique. This prototype is the latest Frankensteinian creation of […]

China develops a laser gun that can shoot down drones from 800 meters away
China is now offering a laser weapon that can clear the skies of those pesky flying drones, an article in The Asia Times stated. Developed by the country’s biggest state-owned arms dealer, it can swat down small unmanned aerial vehicles at distances of up to 800 meters. The new laser is called Silent Hunter. It […]

NIH-funded study looks at how sharks have evolved to use electric fields to locate prey
Sharks are able to sense the faint electrical field emitted by an object. Recent research suggests that their electrosensing organ is tuned in an “all-or-nothing” manner that figures out if the object is edible – and if they think it is prey, they will immediately take a bite out of it, an article from the […]

New mathematical model shows what happens when a black hole devours a star
A joint team of Danish and American researchers has come up with an unnerving mathematical model of the fate of any star that drifts near a supermassive black hole. In their recently published study, they showed that the star gets ripped asunder by immense gravitational forces, an article in Science Daily stated. The ensuing tidal disruption […]
