Praise for the proton: Latest battery breakthrough may free us from lithium ion
We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works in tandem […]

Solar eruptions send shock waves through space; 3D models created by NASA satellites map trajectory
Recently released three-dimensional models of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) give us a much better idea of the process behind these solar eruptions. From the viewpoints of NASA satellites, massive shock waves can be seen rippling out from the Sun, according to an article on Space.com. CMEs are tremendous expulsions of plasma and charged particles from […]

Scientists discover 15 new planets, including one “super-Earth” that could harbor liquid water
Fifteen new planets were confirmed to be orbiting red dwarf stars near our solar system. As per a report that appeared in Science Daily, one of the newly-discovered worlds is a super-Earth that could have liquid water. The new exoplanets were located by researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Under the aegis of […]

The solar energy industry is exploding with new technologies, including “solar paint”
Solar power has come a long way from when Bell Labs presented the first photovoltaic cell in 1954. Researchers are brainstorming all kinds of ways to improve the collection of solar energy, reported Green America. For example, Los Angeles-based startup Sunflare has developed solar panels that are incredibly thin, flexible, and light. They replaced the traditional silicon […]

Local lake virus saves man suffering from life-threatening, antibiotic resistant heart infection
An 80-year old Connecticut man owed his life to a virus taken from a nearby lake. Experimental bacteriophage therapy with the OMKO1 virus eliminated an antibiotic-resistant infection that was threatening the man’s heart, according to a LiveScience article. Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) in New Haven, Connecticut reported that the naturally-occurring virus succeeded in treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which […]

Scientist suggests scanning newly discovered planets for space junk as an indicator of alien life
We’ve littered Earth’s orbit with “space junk” since the dawn of spaceflight, so it stands to reason that advanced alien life might have done the same. A Spanish researcher suggests looking for evidence of orbital trash as proof of extraterrestrial life, reported a New Scientist article. According to astrophysicist Hector Socas-Navarro, the “transit method” technique commonly used […]

Combining B-vitamins and omega-3s found to reduce risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s
A recent study by the University of Oxford discovered that a combination of B-vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids could lower the risk of dementia by reducing the rate at which the disease develops. Part of the Oxford Project to Investigate Memory and Ageing (OPTIMA), the study found that the interaction between the two nutrients is key […]
