New tool in the fight against superbugs: A test that shows if bacteria is antibiotic resistant
A group of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has developed a new antibiotic-resistant detection test. According to Science Daily, their process will allow medical professionals to determine how bacteria will react to a particular antibiotic in no more than half an hour. What once took two to three days could be done […]

Wonder from Down Under: Australian Manuka honey shown just as effective as New Zealand varieties
New Zealand manuka honey has long been marketed as an effective means of lowering cholesterol, treating skin wounds, and even preventing cancer. However, new research has discovered that Australian-made manuka honey is just as potent against superbugs as the New Zealand variety. A team of researchers at the University of Technology Sydney studied over 80 […]

PROOF: Earthquakes in Colorado and New Mexico a few years ago were caused by oil and gas wastewater injections
The increase of earthquakes along the Colorado-New Mexico border between 2008 and 2010 has been linked to wastewater injections from oil and gas operations. According to Science Daily, this connection was established by researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, who concluded in a study that the wastewater injections caused underground pressure changes resulting in […]

New study shows cities have double the carbon footprint previously thought; one from within their borders, and an equally sized one from supply chains
The carbon footprint of many cities may be larger than initially thought. Researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research have found that upstream emissions — defined as “emissions that occur along the global production chain of the goods and services purchased by local consumers” — are on the same level as the greenhouse […]

Bacteria “gangs” defend their turf by forming “social networks” that release toxins to neutralize enemies, according to new research
Scientists have long known that bacteria can fight other bacteria by producing their own version of antibiotics. The researchers behind a recent study have uncovered another bacterial survival tactic. By generating toxic proteins, certain bacteria become capable of communicating with one another, essentially allowing them to form their own social networks. This remarkable discovery was […]

Water filtration membranes can be made from vegetable oils, researchers find
Researchers in a Yale laboratory have developed a safer way to purify water. Led by Professor Chinedum Osuji, the team has created “a highly ordered and aligned nanoporous polymer” from vegetable oils, reports Nanowerk. The film was created as an alternative to the current set of membrane-based technologies derived largely from petroleum-based materials. According to […]

Researchers find that warmer or cooler indoor temperatures can lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes
Decreasing the risk of Type 2 diabetes could lie in the thermostat. A research team led by Wouter van Marken Lichtenbelt has discovered a link between one’s health and their exposure to indoor temperature variations. “It has previously been assumed that stable fixed indoor temperatures would satisfy comfort and health in most people. However, this […]
