Healing with hair: Can nanostructures from human hair be used to design smart biomedical materials?
In the future, your hair may provide the natural ingredients for making biomedicine that treats illness. A recent Chinese study has shown that the tiny structures in human hair might be turned into useful biomaterials. Wuhan University (WHU) researchers examined the melanin and keratin polymers in hair. They isolated the micro- and nanostructures found on these substances. […]

Scientists investigate the secret of bats’ longevity – can it be adapted to humans?
Humans enjoy moderately long lifespans. But some bats live even longer, which is surprising given their small size. Researchers believe that the secret behind the longevity of bats might help humans enjoy longer lives. Two researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) studied the evolutionary history of many known chiropteran species. They identified four bat species that live extremely long […]

Self-healing spacesuits, Venus landers… A buffet of sci-fi concepts to be funded by NASA
Wireless robotic landers, atmospheric probes, spacesuits that seal damage to their skin, and mining operations at the moon’s polar regions are some of the research projects that have earned a welcome injection of funding from NASA in recent times. These concepts might seem like science fiction right now. But in as little as a decade, […]

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste
Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such as manure […]

Life on the Red Planet: Meteorite from Mars shows evidence of “fossilized bacteria”
Two decades ago, NASA researchers presented a meteorite from Mars that reportedly displayed signs of microbial life. Now, their Hungarian counterparts have made a similar announcement with a different sample obtained from the same region in Antarctica. Assigned the dry designation of ALH-77005, the new meteorite displayed features and impressions that might have originated from […]

NOT like the movies: Sharks are vulnerable creatures – and one of the species hurt most by commercial fishing
In the movies, sharks threaten humans, especially if they rode tornadoes inland. In real life, however, it’s the other way around: Human commercial fishing threatens to drive sharks and their relatives, rays, into extinction. A U.K. team counted the number of sharks and rays accidentally caught by small-scale fisheries in the South West Indian Ocean. […]

Today on weird science: A new kind of matter is both solid AND liquid
Scottish researchers have reported a new type of matter with an unusual dual nature. In a chain-melted state caused by intense heat and pressure, potassium exists in both solid and liquid phases at the same time. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh ran virtual scenarios of potassium where they exposed the metal to a combination […]

Chicha, an ancient beverage similar to beer, could have kept an empire intact for a long time, suggest archaeologists
The empire whose citizens drank together stayed together. The Wari Empire might have endured for centuries thanks to chicha, an ancient type of beer this Peruvian civilization drank regularly and copiously during festivities. The former occupants of what is now modern-day Peru, the Waris enjoyed peace and harmony in their corner of South America for 500 years. Their […]

Save the bees: The American Bumblebee may become critically endangered, warn researchers
There is a reason why residents of Ontario haven’t seen many American bumblebees (Bombus pensylvanicus) in recent years. Canadian researchers warned that the once-common and vital pollinators are teetering on the brink of extinction. A recent study discovered that the Canadian population of the bumblebee species has reached the point of imminent local extinction. If their […]

How can a relatively “harmless” gut microbe be dangerous to good gut bacteria?
Gastrointestinal health relies on maintaining plenty of beneficial bacteria while keeping the numbers of harmful ones in check. Singaporean researchers warned about a particular gut microbe that might disrupt the composition of good bacteria. The gut contains trillions of microorganisms. Bacteria comprise most of the gut microbiota, but single-celled organisms and viruses are also present in considerable […]
