Study: Cancer cells thrive in stiffer tissue
In a report from News Wise, Indiana-based researchers reported that stiffer breast tissues increase the risk of developing breast cancer. They warn that stiffness in the connective tissue increase the chances of the tumor spreading to healthy cells. The researchers were investigating the growth and secondary growth of malignant tumors. In order to determine the […]

Understanding observational learning: Why we are able to learn from other people’s mistakes
Humans learn from mistakes – but those errors don’t have to be their own, an article in Science Daily states. The ability to learn from the experiences of other people is called observational learning. A study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has identified the unique brain circuit that enables this secondhand learning. The circuit is […]

Nano-sized cellulose fibers beat spider silk in being the strongest material on Earth
What is the strongest material on Earth? If you answered “spider silk,” you have just named the former champion, now demoted to second place. In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers reported that new nanoscale cellulose fibers have become the Superman of building materials. Many of our scientific advances pale in comparison to what nature has developed and […]

Marine scientists use underwater microphones to “hear” the sound of photosynthesis
Researchers have found a new way to measure the photosynthesis levels of marine plants. A Cosmos Magazine article details how they employed underwater microphones that can pick up the sound of oxygen released by the plants. Like their terrestrial counterparts, algae seaweed and other aquatic plants generate oxygen during the photosynthetic process. Because they are underwater, the oxygen […]

The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices
The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]

Engineers study self-assembling block polymer membranes as an alternative option for water treatment
As water scarcity spreads across the face of the Earth, researchers are scrambling for ways to convert non-traditional sources into potable water. In a Nano Werk article, engineering researchers from two universities reported that self-assembling block polymer membranes could be used as alternative materials in water filtration. The United Nations warned that about 1.9 billion […]

Mathematical model shows how ants behave when faced with an obstacle
You have probably seen a troop of ants hauling chunks of food many times their size and weight back to their home colony. A new mathematical model developed by Israeli researchers can predict the actions the insects will adopt when they run into an obstruction while transporting that food, an article in Science Daily stated. […]

New ear-cleaning device suctions the wax out
Ear cleaning is about to get a long-deserved equipment upgrade. Seattle-based start-up SafKhan has come up with the OtoSet, an ear-cleaning device that can suction out impacted earwax in less than one minute, according to a report from GeekWire. The OtoSet resembles an ordinary pair of comfortable headphones. But it is an automated ear-cleaning device that will […]

Study shows how bacteria can affect your mood
The idiom “gut feeling” takes on a whole new meaning after Canadian researchers released their findings on the gut microbiome. They claim that gut bacteria can affect the way that person’s brain works, an article from the BBC states. It will be a long while before experts finish identifying all of the microbes in our […]

The magnetic field created by our oceans’ currents finally mapped in unprecedented detail
You might remember your Geology teacher droning about the molten iron core of the Earth generating a strong magnetic field. As it turns out, the currents of the oceans also contribute a field of their own that helps protect our planet – and us humans – from dangerous solar wind, an article from Space.com states. A trio […]
