Presence of microbial life in our stratosphere teaches us about the possibility of life on other worlds
Scientists are of the opinion that stratospheric microbes may provide clues on extraterrestrial life. The understanding of how these microbes tolerate such extreme conditions could lead to improved scouting and space exploration missions. The assumption is that alien planets would have similar environments to those found in the stratosphere. This has always been an area of […]

MIT researchers create a “blind” robot that can climb stairs and step over obstacles
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed two new algorithms that have spawned the creation of the “blind” Cheetah 3. The 90-pound mechanical beast is capable of leaping, galloping, and maneuvering around rough terrain and messy environments using only its sense of touch. Essentially blind, Cheetah 3 displays an astonishing range of […]

Inspired by beavers: Researchers create an autonomous robot that can overcome uneven terrain
Researchers from the University of Buffalo (UB) have created a new type of autonomous robot that adapts to its environment rather than trying to change it. This design modification takes its cue from beavers, say the researchers, who build structures in response to what is around them rather than following predetermined plans. Dr. Nils Napp, […]

Astronomers: ‘Oumuamua, our first known interstellar visitor, is a comet, after all
Scientists have recently confirmed that ‘Oumuamua (pronounced oh MOO-uh MOO-uh), the first known interstellar object to visit our solar system, is a comet after all. Discovered on October 19, 2017 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope, ‘Oumuamua baffled astronomers. Its strange, cigar-like shape, along with the absence of usual cometary activity had scientists wondering […]

Embracing Chinese medicine: Scientists have developed a new, fast authentication method for verifying herb composition
One of the arguments against Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is that it is not scientifically and medically validated. Detractors love to mention that these folk medicine healers, despite having followed knowledge practiced for thousands of years, still preach advice to use herbs that cannot be empirically proven to be effective. Moreover, conventional medicine still cannot […]

Often called the “king of medicine,” the myrobalan can help overweight people improve their joint function
The myrobalan is known in history as “Buddha’s chosen herb,” primarily because of its multiple therapeutic uses. The tropical fruit, which is native to South Asia, has been an ingredient in both Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. In a study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers have validated the usefulness of myrobalan in improving […]

The humble earthworm may hold the the key to preventing or treating fever
Although not a herb, earthworms are considered a vital part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Known as qui yin, the earthworm appears in many ancient texts as an effective remedy for many inflammatory conditions, including asthma, cold, and fever. Asian folk healers classify qui yin as one of the essential ingredients in TCM, with documentation […]

Say hello to my little friend: Trees have developed a symbiotic relationship with fungi to survive drought stress
New analysis of the symbiotic relationship between trees and fungi decodes how the pair withstands drought. These conclusions give scientists a better understanding of how the mutual association can be used to develop more plant feedstocks for bioenergy in case of drought. By investigating how specific adaptations of common fungi are created in relation to […]

Forensic skeletal analysis technique used by crime labs to convict people now found to be BOGUS
Uh-oh. We may need to rewatch our crime shows. A team from the Australian National University claimed in their newly published paper in the Journal of Forensic Science that the presence of parturition scars (markers found on the female pelvic bone) may not actually be an indicator of childbirth. These lines are used by police officers […]
