Researchers use graphene to make new and improved concrete
British researchers have succeeded in modernizing concrete with graphene. In a New Atlas article, they reported that the improved concrete is stronger, better at keeping water out, and reduces carbon dioxide pollution by cutting back on cement. Graphene is a sheet of interconnected carbon atoms with the thickness of a single atom. So far, it is the strongest […]

Engineers study self-assembling block polymer membranes as an alternative option for water treatment
As water scarcity spreads across the face of the Earth, researchers are scrambling for ways to convert non-traditional sources into potable water. In a Nano Werk article, engineering researchers from two universities reported that self-assembling block polymer membranes could be used as alternative materials in water filtration. The United Nations warned that about 1.9 billion […]

Computer scientists invent a way to embed hidden info in ordinary text
A newly invented text steganographic (“hidden writing”) method can conceal information in seemingly plain text. The method is called FontCode, and it works by making minute alterations to the shapes of fonts in text to form an encoded message, an article in Science Daily states. Many earlier text and document methods are limited to certain […]

New self-tinting “smart window” technology could conserve energy
Canadian researchers announced a new technique for building smart windows. If their discovery turns out to be convenient and cost-effective enough, perhaps the energy-saving technology can finally be deployed on a wide scale, according to a ScienceDaily article. Smart windows are capable of switching from clear to tinted and back again, depending on the needs […]

Ketamine seen as “fast-acting” for those who suffer from depression
Ketamine started out as an anesthetic for surgeries, only to quickly get abused as a hallucinogenic party drug. Now a U.S. study is claiming it can serve as a “fast-acting” treatment for people afflicted with clinical depression, an article from the BBC reported. The researchers administered ketamine to participants via nasal spray. It claimed that volunteers with symptoms […]

The magnetic field created by our oceans’ currents finally mapped in unprecedented detail
You might remember your Geology teacher droning about the molten iron core of the Earth generating a strong magnetic field. As it turns out, the currents of the oceans also contribute a field of their own that helps protect our planet – and us humans – from dangerous solar wind, an article from Space.com states. A trio […]

Nanobiotechnology researchers seek natural agrochemicals to use for crop protection
Zealous overuse of synthetic agrochemicals to protect food crops from microbial pests has backfired on the agricultural industry. Not only has the environment ended up heavily contaminated, but the microbes are now gaining resistances to the chemicals. An article in Nanowerk.com states that nanobiotechnology experts are seeking out biological and natural alternatives. The common thyme […]

Chemists finally identify the molecule responsible for a carcinogen in recycled wastewater
Thanks to a recent study by California-based chemists, recycled water may become much safer for consumption. The researchers announced that they have tracked down the specific chemical molecule responsible for the creation of a highly potent carcinogen in treated wastewater, according to a ScienceDaily article. Formally known as N-nitrosodimethyalmine, NDMA is a cancer-causing byproduct of […]

Silk hybrid material can attack bacteria when illuminated by a green light
Indiana and Korean researchers have found a way to fuse a far-red fluorescent protein into silk. When exposed to green light, the resulting material will release molecules that kill bacteria and other dangerous pathogens, according to a NanoWerk article. Touted to be all-natural by its creators, the new biomaterial offers an alternative way to sterilize pathogens. […]

What goes on in our brain while we walk? Researchers track how vision guides foot placement
Texan researchers have wondered about what our brains are thinking during walks. In a NewsWise article, they studied the way people’s vision directed the placement of their feet while walking. Their findings will benefit patients who cannot move well due to aging, Parkinson’s disease, and strokes. It will also help the development of prosthetic and robotic limbs. […]
