A truly versatile crop: HEMP batteries can be a more powerful alternative to graphene or lithium batteries
Hemp, the non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, may soon power a smart device near you. Researchers say that not only can hemp be used to power devices, but it may also be a more powerful alternative to lithium and graphene batteries. Hemp-based nanosheet better than graphene In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, Canadian researchers […]

Cryopreserved avocados may be sent to outer space
Astronauts may never have to miss out on avocados during a space voyage, thanks to a group of researchers who developed a cryopreservation method for the fruit. The team froze avocado shoots in cryotubes and revived them later to be regrown into a healthy plant. After trying out different techniques and avocado varieties, they said that the series of experiments was an overall […]

The Arctic tundra has become greener since 1985, according to NASA study
Rising temperatures have turned the Arctic tundra greener, says a recent study from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Tundra, which comes from a Finnish word meaning “treeless plain,” is the coldest of all land biomes. The region is characterized by limited biodiversity, short growing seasons and frost-molded landscapes low in nutrients. For those reasons, only a select group […]

Moon-creating collision may have stripped up to 60 percent of ancient Earth’s atmosphere
Ancient Earth may have lost as much as 60 percent of its atmosphere as a result of the collision that created the moon, suggests a recent study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. An international team of researchers ran hundreds of computer simulations that each showed the effects of an impactor with a unique set of characteristics […]

Researchers find proof that “spear-thrower and bow-and-arrow technologies” allowed modern humans to hunt better than Neanderthals
An ancient set of tools made by early modern humans were used much like a spear-thrower and a bow and arrow. This, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, gave them a distinct advantage compared to Neanderthals. Researchers from Italy and Japan examined how the pieces were used by modern humans and […]

Study: Vitamin D deficiency linked to a greater risk of diabetes-related early death
A recent study has drawn a link between vitamin D deficiency and a greater risk of diabetes-related death. This link, the researchers from the Medical University of Vienna noted, was especially pronounced in younger and middle-aged people. Vitamin D also called the sunshine vitamin, is best known for keeping bones healthy by promoting calcium absorption. It also helps regulate cell growth, […]

Amazing Earth: The planet’s magnetic poles can flip more frequently than originally thought
Earth is wrapped by a magnetic field powered by the churning of hot molten metals in the outer core. Thanks to this invisible field, the planet is protected from the solar wind and cosmic particles, permitting just enough radiation to tide humans by. This magnetic field, however, can flip and does so many times every million years or so, […]

Scientists identify link between gut bacteria, muscle growth and function
Gut bacteria may play a role in muscle growth and formation, says a recent study. This is great news for those with skeletal muscle loss, especially since the findings say that changing the microbial composition may help with the condition. An international team of researchers conducted a series of experiments on mice to examine the link between the […]
