Science experiments on the space station: Innovative “bone glue” may stimulate bone growth, treat osteoporosis
Gradual bone loss is a serious side effect that astronauts must endure during protracted spaceflights. This is due to the absence of gravity. Without gravity, bone regeneration undergoes a significant reduction while bone resorption increases. Scientists have been attempting to find a solution to this grave health issue for years, and they may have found […]

Researchers have developed “artificial muscles” with superhuman speed and strength, and the ability to self-heal
Forget cold, metal shells — the robots of the tomorrow could be covered in soft, artificial muscles. That’s certainly what researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder appear to be working towards. Taking inspiration from organic muscle, the team of scientists has come up with robotic muscles that combine incredible strength and impressive flexibility. On […]

Glow-in-the-dark materials may soon be made organically, for less
Manufacturing glow-in-the-dark materials can be difficult and expensive. More often than not, they need to be made from rare metals like dysprosium and europium, and require extreme heat to produce. A team from the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research (OPERA) at Kyushu University is aiming to change all that. Led by Kabe Ryota, […]

Researcher discovers way to transform waste aluminum foil into biofuel catalyst
The pervasiveness of aluminum foil in daily life has reached a point where it occupies landfills in thousands of tons. Whatever isn’t thrown into landfills is instead incinerated because many recycling centers refuse to take in aluminum foil due to the possible damage to recycling equipment by the grease and oils coating the foil. Fortunately, […]

Reef fish found to be surprisingly resilient to ocean acidification caused by carbon dioxide (climate change)
Ocean acidification is a phenomenon that has been associated with increased dangers for species of fish, such as leaving them unable to flee from predators and enemies. This chemical reaction is the product of boosted carbon dioxide uptake from the atmosphere and results in seawater undergoing fundamental changes to its chemistry. However, a team of researchers […]

Researchers find that concrete structures can actually REDUCE air pollution by adsorbing sulfur dioxide
Could one effective solution to air pollution have been under our noses all along? That seems to be case, according to researchers from Stony Brook University. Dr. Alex Orlov and his colleagues have discovered that concrete structures can adsorb and remove sulfur dioxide from the air, reported ScienceDaily.com. For their study, the researchers utilized two […]
