Study finds that lithium could be used to treat people with a rare muscle disease
A rare disease called limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 (LMGD1) makes even everyday actions such as climbing stairs, lifting objects and standing up from a chair difficult to do. Over time, it can even cause some people to lose the ability to walk. A recent study, however, shows that lithium can be a possible treatment for LMGD1. Researchers at the […]

Scientists develop new tape that can keep its stickiness even in the most extreme temperatures
Anyone who’s ever worked with any form tape has most likely had trouble getting it to stick on really hot or really cold surfaces. The adhesives used in various tapes today can end up loosing their stickiness when exposed to extreme temperatures, while leaving behind an annoying residue. A recent study, however, has come up with […]

Carbon dioxide may be the key to unlocking vast natural gas resources, research says
Carbon dioxide may be used to help produce natural gas from deposits buried deep beneath the Earth. A recent study is proposing that air and carbon dioxide injected into methane ice deposits that are buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural energy resources. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) […]

Turning up the heat: Newly developed material can block solar heat from escaping
The generation of heat, whether for home or industrial use, is one of the largest consumers of energy in modern society. This is despite the fact that a large, natural source of heat exists in the form of the Sun. However, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new material that can […]

Scientists develop graphene using eucalyptus bark
As one of the thinnest, most flexible and conductive materials known to man, graphene is an important material for technologies such as flexible nanoelectronics and fuel cells. Recently, a team of researchers from Australia and India has figured out how to add “sustainable” and “affordable” to graphene’s list of attributes as well. A new method for […]

Why is methane disappearing from Mars? Researchers explain
For years, scientists have been puzzled by conflicting reports on the existence of atmospheric methane on Mars. Methane gas is considered a bioindicator, and its presence could hint at the existence of biological life on the planet sometime in its past. Now, a recent study looks to explain why the reports from the red planet regarding its methane are […]

Energy from an unlikely source: A combination of microbes and graphene could make inexpensive and eco-friendly energy
The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team at the […]

Cyanide found on meteorites can broaden understanding of life itself
Cyanide is a poison that can kill humans and animals alike. However, scientists are looking at the chemicals present in some asteroids as a way to better understand how life first emerged on our planet. According to a study by scientists at Boise State University and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the presence of […]

“Pantry” science: MIT researchers grow carbon nanotubes using common kitchen ingredients
When the subject of carbon nanotubes is brought up, most people probably won’t think of something that can be cooked up in a kitchen. However, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have done just that – creating carbon nanotubes with the help of common household materials. Led by Richard Li, a graduate student in […]
