3 Crucial processes: Study suggests humans can breathe thanks to volcanoes, tectonics and cyanobacteria
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and Rice University have tied up multiple complex processes to come up with one comprehensive theory answering how oxygen became ubiquitous on Earth. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers described how tectonic activity –the shifting of Earth’s outer crust – led to the formation of volcanoes that spewed massive amounts of carbon […]

Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least 8 months after infection, study says
A study published in February in the journal Science shows that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) lasts at least eight months after a person has contracted COVID-19. This finding is an optimistic sign that immunity can probably last for many years. “There was a lot of concern originally that this virus might not induce much memory,” Shane Crotty, an infectious […]

Lunar mining: Researchers propose creating arcs of lightning to extract water and metal from the moon
Researchers propose using arcs of lightning to extract lunar resources such as water and metals all at once. The technique, called “ablative arc mining,” will be “like putting lightning over the surface of the moon,” according to lead researcher Amelia Greig, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Aerospace Center at the University of […]

“Forever” diamond battery takes up to 28,000 years to run out of charge
California startup Nano Diamond Battery (NDB) says it has designed a battery made from nuclear waste that will take up to 28,000 years to run out of charge. The “forever” diamond battery was developed for use in deep space and other niche applications, but a consumer-facing prototype is also in the works. The firm said that the latter model will be able to last for nine consecutive years. It […]

Wounds on sharks are infection-free thanks to a complex germ ecosystem on the skin that prevent contamination
Sharks swim in dirty ocean waters that could easily cause infection, yet experts rarely see gaping shark wounds getting infected. Now, an international team of researchers has figured out what’s keeping shark wounds free from contamination. In a study published in the journal Animal Microbiome, the researchers explained that the skin of black-tip reef sharks is […]

Biggest piece of ISS space junk will tumble down to Earth in a few years
An enormous lump of space junk that the International Space Station (ISS) dumped on March 11 is slated to fall back to Earth in two to four years, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The 2.9-ton piece of space junk, a pallet of old nickel-hydrogen batteries given the name “Exposed Pallet 9” or “EP9,” is the largest thing that […]

Prolonged lockdown can compromise a child’s immune system, warns immunologist
Children could emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic with underdeveloped immune systems due to prolonged lockdowns that forbid them from going outside, according to Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist who teaches at the University of Guelph in Canada. In an article published on March 10 in the Conversation, Bridle explained that regular exposure to the environment is critical for children’s […]

Ice can cause wind turbines to produce up to 80 percent less power, according to study
The power that icing can cause wind turbines to lose up to 80 percent of their power generation, according to a new study published in the journal Renewable Energy. Lead researcher Hui Hu, a professor of aerospace engineering at Iowa State University, and his team carried out a field study of a Chinese wind farm after a decade of performing lab studies of […]
