New device will let ISS astronauts 3D print useful objects from their own plastic waste
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will soon have a way to minimize their plastic waste — by using it as raw material for tools and cutlery. This will be done with the help of a custom three-dimensional or 3D printer. Dubbed the “Recycler,” the machine is built by National Aeronautics and Space Administration […]

Scientists present a catalytic solution that could be the answer to global plastic pollution
Instead of filling up landfills, single-use plastics can be used to create other products. This is according to a group of researchers who have developed a new method for upcycling these low-level plastics into motor oils, lubricants, detergents and even cosmetics. According to the researchers, aside from improving current recycling methods that result in cheap, low-quality […]

Wasps are quick learners, especially when it comes to food scents
As it turns out, wasps are fast learners when it comes to associating scents and olfactory cues with food sources. This is according to a team of researchers from New Zealand and Hungary, who, in a series of experiments, found that wasps are able to associate olfactory cues with food without any prior training. As noted […]

Scientists generate novel form of magnetism from graphene
A “eureka moment” is perhaps the best way to describe what a team of physicists from Stanford University went through after they discovered a property that, at first, only existed as a theory: orbital ferromagnetism. Orbital ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism caused by the lining up of the electrons’ orbital motions. According to the scientists […]

Study reveals people using toxic personal care products are the “greatest pollutants” of office air
A recent study presented by a team of researchers from Purdue University has revealed that humans are the biggest sources of air pollutants in an indoor setting because of the toxins in the personal care products they use. According to the researchers, this is mainly because humans emit substances known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds, […]

Fluoride is one of the most ubiquitous chemical compounds on the planet. This chemical is added to most mass-produced toothpaste and mouthwashes because of its purported ability to stave off tooth decay. It is also added to drinking water – again, as a way to protect the public’s dental health. For all its supposed benefits, however, […]
