Save the whales: This new detection method can help researchers find and count stranded whales… from SPACE
Advancements in satellite imaging analysis may soon make it easier for scientists to detect, count and help stranded whales, a study has found. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), together with four Chilean research institutes, said the new image analysis and detection method, which involves the use of very high resolution (VHR) satellite images […]

Researchers grow crops on NASA soil simulant, suggesting that the same can be done on Mars and the Moon
It may seem like something out of a science fiction novel, but growing food in space is one step closer to becoming a reality, a group of scientists has said. As reported in the journal Open Agriculture, researchers from Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have managed to identify vegetables and other crops that can […]

Process called “advanced steam cracking” can turn plastic waste into high-quality plastics
The property that makes plastic such a pesky pollutant just might be the key that will help solve the problem of its negative impact on the environment. This is according to a research team from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, who had recently developed a more sustainable way of dealing with plastic waste: breaking […]

New study says the universe may be younger by at least 2 billion years
As it turns out, the universe may be much younger than previously thought. This is according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany who, in a study published in the journal Science, claim that the universe is actually a couple of billion years younger than what scientists originally believed. This reduction in the […]

Chemists develop a revolutionary material that self-assembles, with potential applications in health and electronics
Future technologies may soon be made from self-assembling materials, according to chemists from Trinity College Dublin. The team successfully created a new material that self-assembles into two-dimensional (2D) networks in a predictable and reproducible manner — a property that gives it the potential to be used in numerous applications. As noted by its creators in […]

Images from ESA’s spacecraft shows Nirgal Vallis, an ancient, dried-up river system on Mars
Experts say an ancient river system complete with streams, valleys and tributaries once flowed on Mars following new images from the Mars Express spacecraft. Spanning nearly 435 miles across the planet’s surface and located south of the planet’s equator, the river system – named Nirgal Vallis by scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) – was said to have been shaped both […]

Borrowing from Nature: Scientists study fish movement to improve performance of underwater robots
In order to design more advanced robots, researchers from the Penn State Department of Mechanical Engineering are looking at one unlikely animal for inspiration: fish. “We essentially want to study locomotion in fluids, by learning how fish swim and then use that fundamental knowledge to optimize robotic swimming,” Bo Cheng, an assistant professor of mechanical […]

Scientists study nanocapsules in the search for an antibiotic-free approach to superbugs
Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem around the world, with multiple strains of bacteria now showing adaptations designed to increase their protection against the drugs that have been formulated to kill them. One such pathogen is Helicobacter pylori, which, according to current data, is carried by around 4.4 billion people worldwide, although it is most […]

Scientists crack mystery behind strong, resilient mollusk shells
Scientists have finally cracked the secret behind one of Nature’s strongest materials. Nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is the rainbow-sheened material that lines the insides of mussel and other mollusk shells. It is also widely considered to be one of the toughest substances in Nature, with scientists noting its hardness and resilience as being particularly impressive. […]

The truth about animal studies: Do they really model human health?
Animals such as mice, rabbits, dogs and monkeys are widely used as surrogates for humans in fundamental medical and pharmaceutical research and are often subjected to controversial procedures designed to give them the symptoms of human diseases. This practice, according to its proponents, is important since it allows scientists, journalists and the public to draw […]
