Can small stars support alien life? An astrophysicist talks about the potential these exoplanets may have
Since the discovery of the first confirmed exoplanet in 1992, astronomers have found nearly 4,000 of these celestial bodies. Many of these planets orbit small stars like the numerous red dwarf stars. A Space.com article states that some of these exoplanets could support alien life despite the challenges posed by their parent star. Despite their […]

Scientists reveal that restricting eating to a 12-hour window prevents obesity
Australian researchers report that restricting yourself to eating within a 12-hour window can help you avoid obesity. In an article on Health Medicine Network, the researchers show the results of a mice model where animals on a high-fat diet gained less weight when they were only allowed to eat during half the day. Mice are […]

Nutritionists use ozone gas to make tastier wheat flour
As part of the increasing drive towards natural ingredients and healthier diets, Chinese researchers sought out alternatives for the chemical oxidants used to bleach flour and condition bread dough. They announced that ozone treatment was a cleaner, healthier, and tastier way to oxidize wheat flour for baking steamed bread. Traditional oxidizing agents for flour include azodicarbonamide, benzoyl […]

Scientists have figured out how to project 3D images into thin air, Star Wars style
Scientists are coming close to realizing that iconic 3D hologram scene from the movie Star Wars, reported a Daily Mail article. And instead of projected light, they’re controlling dust-sized particles to make 3D imagery that promises to do one better than current holographic technology. Published in the science journal Nature, the study (aptly titled “The […]

FDA approves first-ever light-adaptive contact lenses
The first-ever contact lens that can adapt to ambient light has received the green light from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In a Pharmacy Times article, the Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses are now approved for commercial release. The new soft contact lens use light-adaptive technology. When exposed to bright light, they will immediately darken. […]

Study suggests electrically charging airplanes to avoid lightning strikes by repelling the energy
We already fight wildfires with controlled burns, so why not do the same with lightning and electricity? Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing just that – developing a device that electrically charges an aircraft to avoid lightning, reported a ScienceDaily article. There’s no commercial aircraft in the world that hasn’t been struck by […]

Future missions to Mars being made to detect amino acids
The soil on Mars is filled with chemical compounds that make short work of organic compounds. Yet NASA remains hopeful about finding signs of life on the Red Planet, so the agency developed an experiment for a future Mars mission that can detect amino acids, an article in Space.com stated. Amino acids are considered to […]

Marine scientists use underwater microphones to “hear” the sound of photosynthesis
Researchers have found a new way to measure the photosynthesis levels of marine plants. A Cosmos Magazine article details how they employed underwater microphones that can pick up the sound of oxygen released by the plants. Like their terrestrial counterparts, algae seaweed and other aquatic plants generate oxygen during the photosynthetic process. Because they are underwater, the oxygen […]

New “densified” super wood could replace steel, is lighter and cheaper
Imagine an incredibly dense type of wood that has more than 10 times the strength and durability of natural lumber, making it more than a match for metal alloys. Well, you can stop imagining, because a Maryland-based research team devised a process to turn that hypothetical wood into reality. Humans have used wood for thousands of years to build […]

The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices
The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]
