Scientists reproduce an exotic form of magnesium and make some discoveries about its nuclear structure
Researchers previously created an exotic form of magnesium called magnesium-40 by adding as many neutrons as possible to the nucleus of the atom. Ten years later, a new research team came across new data on the nuclear structure of magnesium-40. The atomic number of an element depends on the number of positively-charged protons in its […]

After “the dress,” it’s the “cup” – 3D printed goblet can change color with different lighting conditions
Dutch researchers modernized an ancient technique for making materials that altered their color according to the lighting condition. They modified the method for use in 3D printing devices and applied nanotechnology to achieve the color-changing effects. The research team infused the printing ink mixture with tiny particles of gold. Trial runs printed a plastic goblet […]

New cathodes can lead to smaller, more powerful lithium batteries
A joint effort between American and Chinese researchers have delivered a new take on the cathode of a lithium battery. Their prototype negatively-charged electrode will help reduce the size and weight of energy storage systems. A smaller, lighter lithium battery makes it possible to fit more cells aboard electric vehicles, extending their range and endurance. […]

Engineers develop high energy density all-solid-state batteries
Solid-state battery technology has reached a new milestone in terms of energy storage. Thanks to the new conducting material developed by Japanese researchers, all-solid-state batteries will boast the greatest energy density yet. The hydride lithium superionic conductor arranges clusters of hydrogen anions (negative ions) into specialized structures. The material displays far greater stability against lithium metal, the […]

Are people really considering going to the moon… to mine?
Experts from the legal, mining, and space science sectors consider the moon to be a New World full of natural resources. They believe that the mineral wealth of Earth’s “eighth continent” is there for the taking by anyone with money, political will, technology, and vision to land on the moon. Their new report discussed the requirements […]

For us, it’s poison. For space, it’s alien life
One planet’s toxic gas might be the air that sustains life in another world. This axiom reportedly applies to carbon monoxide, a substance known to harm Earth-based lifeforms but which a new study claims may be the sign of alien life. Carbon monoxide is deadly to humans and most organic life on Earth. After entering the body […]

From tires to shoes, disposable rubber items may soon be able to self-repair
Rubber items may one day be able to regenerate any damage they incur from everyday wear and tear, plus the occasional accident. California-based researchers developed a self-repairing rubber material that’s compatible with 3D printing methods. Qiming Wang led the University of Southern California (USC) research team. An assistant professor at the USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering, Wang is also […]

Scientists may have discovered a new source of rare earth elements – and an environmentally friendly way to gather them
A waste product of the fertilizer industry might serve as a rich repository of rare earth elements. Researchers have devised a natural way to get these resources from phosphate rock waste. Their bacteria-based extraction method caused much less harm to the environment than current techniques that relied on synthetic acids. The discovery came from the […]

Solar winds deposit ingredients for water on the moon
Solar winds may be responsible for increasing the amount of water on the moon. Researchers report that the stream of energetic particles from the sun leaves hydrogen atoms on the barren face of Earth’s natural satellite, according to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Their team’s computer model simulated the chemical […]

Renewable fire-retardant coating developed by researchers
Few materials can match the performance of cellulose and clay: They’re readily available, nontoxic, and sustainable. Researchers from Texas A&M University leveraged the characteristics of these natural substances to invent a renewable flame-retardant coating. The new coating offers a whole new level of fire protection for polyurethane foam and other highly flammable materials. Furthermore, it’s made from some of […]
