Healing with hair: Can nanostructures from human hair be used to design smart biomedical materials?
In the future, your hair may provide the natural ingredients for making biomedicine that treats illness. A recent Chinese study has shown that the tiny structures in human hair might be turned into useful biomaterials. Wuhan University (WHU) researchers examined the melanin and keratin polymers in hair. They isolated the micro- and nanostructures found on these substances. […]

Is riding shotgun safer? Study suggests passengers are safer in the front seat
Riding shotgun isn’t just the more fun seat for passengers – it may also be the safest seat in any ground vehicle. A recent study showed that restraint systems for the back seat lagged behind those of the front seats. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that front seat passengers have enjoyed steadily […]

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste
Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such as manure […]

Life on the Red Planet: Meteorite from Mars shows evidence of “fossilized bacteria”
Two decades ago, NASA researchers presented a meteorite from Mars that reportedly displayed signs of microbial life. Now, their Hungarian counterparts have made a similar announcement with a different sample obtained from the same region in Antarctica. Assigned the dry designation of ALH-77005, the new meteorite displayed features and impressions that might have originated from […]

Chicha, an ancient beverage similar to beer, could have kept an empire intact for a long time, suggest archaeologists
The empire whose citizens drank together stayed together. The Wari Empire might have endured for centuries thanks to chicha, an ancient type of beer this Peruvian civilization drank regularly and copiously during festivities. The former occupants of what is now modern-day Peru, the Waris enjoyed peace and harmony in their corner of South America for 500 years. Their […]

New computer models suggest life on the nearest exoplanets may already be thriving
There are rocky exoplanets around the size of Earth that lie within a few light-years of the solar system. While these relatively nearby worlds receive intense radiation from their active stars, they might eventually bear alien life – if they haven’t already done so. These planets lie well within the habitable zone of stars like […]

Antarctic expedition uncovers iron-rich meteorites
A U.K. research team boldly went to where their counterparts from other countries had gone before: Antarctica, where they dug up iron-rich meteorites trapped beneath the ice for analysis back home. The expedition brought back 36 dark-colored space rocks. While their sizes vary, the biggest one is around the size of a melon. Meteorites record […]

Cosmic crash 12,800 years ago caused climatic changes, proving “climate change” can happen at any moment, far beyond our control
Nearly 13,000 years ago, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere got clobbered by a fragmenting comet. New evidence found by University of California Santa Barbara researchers suggested that the extreme impact event also affected the weather and ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) Impact Hypothesis proposed that the comet strike triggered climate changes and […]

Advanced new technology protects drinking water from algal toxins naturally
The water crisis that struck Toledo in 2014 spurred local researchers to look for ways to protect drinking water supplies from microcystin contamination. Using natural bacteria that live Lake Erie, they developed a biofilter that destroys the toxic contaminant produced by algal blooms. Supported by the University of Toledo (UT) and led by Dr. Jason Huntley, the study identified 13 different species of bacteria […]

Researchers discover that the spinal cord works with the brain to control complex motor functions
The spinal cord displays more capability than most people give it credit for. A new study reported that this structure directly controls complicated motor functions in the arm. The spinal cord runs down the length of the spine. It is a large and important part of the central nervous system. In humans, its neural circuits govern the pain reflex. In animals, the […]
