Researchers explore novel method for generating breathable air on Mars
Scientists may have found a method for generating oxygen that could be used for future explorations on Mars. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena discovered a way to generate molecular oxygen – two oxygen atoms needed to form breathable air – in outer space. The idea came from observing how comets produced oxygen in extreme environments. […]

Food residues from 500-year-old pottery in Northamptonshire suggest medieval peasant diets were healthier than modern ones
When it came to mealtimes, medieval peasants had better food choices than most of us do today. In a recent study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, researchers from the University of Bristol in England noted that croppers from this period lived on meat stews, leafy vegetables, and fresh dairy products – foods that were far more […]

Inspired by photosynthesis in plants, researchers create liquid fuel with just water and carbon dioxide
Chemists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign managed to successfully create liquid fuel from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water using gold nanoparticles. The process was inspired by photosynthesis, the energy production method of plants. The study was a collaboration between Sungju Yu, a postdoctoral researcher and Prashaint Jain, a chemistry professor. They published their findings in Nature Communications, contributing […]

Ancient “desert glass” turns out to be from a 29-million-year-old meteorite
A common desert glass scattered in the Libyan desert came from a meteor event that happened over 29 million years ago, according to a recent study. Researchers from Curtin University in Australia and the National History Museum of Vienna discovered reidite – a mineral formed only during meteorite impact – in pieces of desert glass in the […]

How origami is helping engineers design a space vehicle that sticks its landing
Origami isn’t just about folding paper. It turns out, it’s about designing machines as well. In a study in Science Advances, engineers from the U.S. and Japan developed a potential mechanism to reduce the force of impact in spacecraft when they land – using principles from origami. The researchers developed a unique cell that softens any force […]

Researchers find strong links between working memory and age, sleep quality and mood
Working memory is an important part of a person’s day-to-day activity, and numerous factors affect it. In a recent report, scientists linked three health-related factors – sleep, age and depressed mood – to working memory. Their findings, which appeared in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, focused on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of working memory […]

Researchers find evidence of microplastics in Colorado RAIN SAMPLES: Where is it coming from?
Microplastics are everywhere these days. They are even falling from the sky, a recent study finds. Researchers from various institutions in the US, including the US Geological Survey (USGS), found microplastics in rain samples collected from the Denver-Boulder urban corridor and other sites along Colorado’s Front Range. Their findings, which were published on the USGS […]

Study sheds light on the ability of music therapy to relieve stress
It’s a stress-ridden world. So stressful, that around 75 percent of American adults report experiencing moderate to high levels of stress in a study by the American Psychological Association. To help deal with this pervasive issue, researchers from South Korea’s Sahmyook University suggest using music for reducing stress. The study, published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, showed that listening to […]

Functional foods help fight disease on a cellular level, thanks to bioactive ingredients
Functional foods contain bioactive compounds that can help fight diseases. Researchers from Wuhan Sports University examined how some of the most widely used bioactive ingredients enhance autophagy, which can help in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The study was published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness. What is autophagy? Autophagy is the body’s way of cleansing itself. […]
