Scientists crack mystery behind strong, resilient mollusk shells
Scientists have finally cracked the secret behind one of Nature’s strongest materials. Nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is the rainbow-sheened material that lines the insides of mussel and other mollusk shells. It is also widely considered to be one of the toughest substances in Nature, with scientists noting its hardness and resilience as being particularly impressive. […]

The truth about animal studies: Do they really model human health?
Animals such as mice, rabbits, dogs and monkeys are widely used as surrogates for humans in fundamental medical and pharmaceutical research and are often subjected to controversial procedures designed to give them the symptoms of human diseases. This practice, according to its proponents, is important since it allows scientists, journalists and the public to draw […]

Not monkeying around: Monkeys “exhibit more cognitive flexibility” compared to humans, say researchers
Apparently, monkeys outperform humans when it comes to coming up with strategies. This is according to new research by a group of psychologists from Georgia State University, who conducted a test that pitted the cognitive flexibility of humans against those of monkeys. The test, as described in the journal Scientific Reports, involved 56 humans and 29 monkeys, […]

New device will let ISS astronauts 3D print useful objects from their own plastic waste
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will soon have a way to minimize their plastic waste — by using it as raw material for tools and cutlery. This will be done with the help of a custom three-dimensional or 3D printer. Dubbed the “Recycler,” the machine is built by National Aeronautics and Space Administration […]

Scientists present a catalytic solution that could be the answer to global plastic pollution
Instead of filling up landfills, single-use plastics can be used to create other products. This is according to a group of researchers who have developed a new method for upcycling these low-level plastics into motor oils, lubricants, detergents and even cosmetics. According to the researchers, aside from improving current recycling methods that result in cheap, low-quality […]

Garlock fault in Southern California is slipping and could generate “massive quakes,” warn scientists
While most think of major fault lines like the San Andreas Fault when it comes to the big one even smaller faults can still pose a major earthquake hazard. According to a team of geophysicists from the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this is because even […]

Power up with spuds: Potato puree is just as effective as carb energy gels at improving exercise performance
Athletes looking for a boost in their performance need not buy into the current trendy carbohydrate gels being sold on the market — they will do just fine with pureed potatoes. This is according to a group of scientists from the University of Illinois who found that pureed potatoes were just as effective at sustaining blood […]

Wasps are quick learners, especially when it comes to food scents
As it turns out, wasps are fast learners when it comes to associating scents and olfactory cues with food sources. This is according to a team of researchers from New Zealand and Hungary, who, in a series of experiments, found that wasps are able to associate olfactory cues with food without any prior training. As noted […]

Life on the Red Planet: Ex-NASA scientist claims the Viking missions found proof of alien life on Mars back in the 70s
Scientists may have actually discovered evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars back in the 1970s. This is according to former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientist Gilbert Levin, who, in a column for Scientific American, claimed that the Viking missions — specifically its Labeled Release (LR) life detection experiment — found evidence of life […]

Scientists generate novel form of magnetism from graphene
A “eureka moment” is perhaps the best way to describe what a team of physicists from Stanford University went through after they discovered a property that, at first, only existed as a theory: orbital ferromagnetism. Orbital ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism caused by the lining up of the electrons’ orbital motions. According to the scientists […]
