Is treatment making it worse? DNA damage to brain cells can be caused by nanoparticles from medical treatments
Nanoparticles are seeing use in an increasingly large number of medical procedures and treatment methods. However, Irish researchers are concerned that their use might be doing far more harm than good. They report that metal nanoparticles could be damaging the DNA of developing brain cells like neurons, according to an article by NanoWerk. According to […]

Robo-bees are the reimagined rover: NASA plans to send them to Mars
NASA has got an inspiring bee stuck in its bonnet. The agency recently announced plans for a robotic bee that will be able to buzz through the thin air of Mars. If it pans out, swarms of these tiny robot drones might one day replace traditional rovers, according to a LiveScience article. Rovers are big, […]

Fog harvesting could help alleviate water shortages
As traditional sources of water dry out or grow contaminated with pollution, we’ll need to find new ways to get the water we need. One method is fog harvesting, where you collect moisture from ground-level clouds. A Virginia-based research team has come up with a “fog harp” that collects thrice as much water as earlier fog nets, […]

Scientists are actually losing ground on their understanding of dark matter, as new research contradicts previous findings
Researchers have been forced to backtrack on what little they thought they understood about the enigmatic substance called “dark matter.” The 180-degree turn came in the wake of a new study that suggested dark matter may not really be interacting with forces outside of gravity, according to a ScienceDaily article. In 2015, an international research […]

Holographic storage of 3D images in a nanofilm can archive more than 1,000 times more data than optical media
As we produce and amass more data, we need bigger storage spaces and better ways of organizing them. Accordingly, Chinese researchers have developed new nano-particle films that can store the hologram equivalent of more than 1,000 DVDs in a piece of film that measures 10-by-10 centimeters, according to an article in ScienceDaily. According to study […]

NASA says that aliens live on Venus, but they’re only microbes
The cloudy planet dubbed the “Morning Star” and “Evening Star” could be harboring alien life. A NASA-backed international study surmises that there could be simple but sturdy bacteria floating in the uppermost clouds of Venus, reported The Sun. Study author Sanjay Limaye of the University of Wisconsin-Madison says that computer models of Venus suggest it used to be a […]

Scientists develop novel robotic arm that can be used in extreme environments (like outer space)
Borrowing ideas from the Japanese art of origami, a Korean research team devised a folding robotic arm. According to an article on Science Daily, the mechanical limb is capable of self-assembly and possesses high rigidity. The Seoul National University (SNC) design leveraged variable stiffness technology, which uses complex mechatronic actuators to combine the strengths of […]

NASA now allowing scientists to use nuclear power sources for future space missions
The resumption of domestic production of plutonium-238 has led NASA to reconsider the use of nuclear power sources in its future planetary science missions, according to an article from Space.com. Back in December 2017, NASA needed to conserve its dwindling stockpile of nuclear fuel for the Mars 2020 rover and other, more critical missions. So it […]

Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Scientists have developed new semiconductors that are more environmentally friendly
Concerned with the prevalence of useful but toxic perovskites in photovoltaic cells, a group of Iowa-based researchers devised alternative materials. They reported creating cheaper and eco-friendly semiconductors with similar performance, according to a ScienceDaily article. Perovskites are light-gathering materials used as semiconductors in solar panels. While highly efficient – called “wonder materials” by the solar […]
