Mother Nature’s amazing tech: Researchers studied dandelions to develop new parachutes, drones
The science behind how dandelions scatter their seeds is carefully being studied by researchers in biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and microfabrication at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, lending them information into the physics of parachutes and giving them ideas on how to design small drones or micro air vehicles. The researchers gave the answer as to why […]

New tattoo-like wearable sensor detects alcohol levels in sweat, sends updates to smartphone for private use
Engineers that are closely working with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have created a small monitoring device, worn on the skin, that identifies alcohol levels in perspiration. The new wearable monitor has the incentive of being non-invasive and unseen by other people, making it more applicable in settings where one would […]

Predicting Alzheimer’s: Major inflammation in your 40s puts you at high risk, making the case for improving lifestyle habits
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland found that extreme inflammation – which can be caused in middle age by weight gain and high blood pressure or diabetes – could be a sign of impending Alzheimer’s disease. When the scientists observed 1,633 people between the ages of 45 and 65 who were given […]

Companionship found to promote longevity: Being single increases risk of disease
A recently published report has found that happily married couples have a 60 percent less risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related mental degradation issues, due to them having healthier lifestyles. The report shows that single people are more likely to develop dementia once they reach a certain age because they are […]

Engineers have developed a sensor that can be “printed” onto plant leaves to indicate when they need water
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed sensors that can be implanted in plant leaves so that it would be easier for humans to identify whether they are in need of water. Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs professor of chemical engineering at MIT and the senior author of the study, says this […]

Geoengineering proponents attempt to alleviate concerns of the public by changing their focus to just “limit warming”
Scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Cornell University, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are making a revolutionary step towards creating major changes in the field of geoengineering. By presenting their findings via a sophisticated computer model, the scientists have shown that a new approach to geoengineering could possibly be used to […]

Do you trust your brand of supplements? Researchers found a majority of supplements collected at liver treatment centers were mislabeled
A presentation that was delivered at the 2017 Liver Meeting that was conducted by the American Association for the Research of Liver Diseases in Washington, D.C. showed that the mislabeling of ingredients is a common occurrence in herbal and dietary supplements, especially in bodybuilding and weight loss products. “In looking at those cases, we find […]

Why do some viruses linger? Scientists are studying how viruses replicate different kinds of cells, some of which can hide inside the immune system
Some viral infections can continue their existence even though the body that they are trying to penetrate has already triggered an immune response. University of Pennsylvania researchers reveal that acute viral infection cells enriched with defective viral genomes are more likely to survive infection than cells with full-length viral genomes. Viral infections, such as parainfluenza, […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue
Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]

How does a C-section birth affect the child? New research suggests children born this way gain more weight than those born naturally
A study that was published online on Wednesday, October 11 in the journal Science Advances has shown that infants that were born via the Cesarean section are more prone to the risks of obesity as they grow older as compared with infants that were born vaginally. The study focuses on the microbiome, which is a […]
