Plant-based “vaccine” uses herbs to activate the immune system against the coronavirus, without the blood clot risk
Canadian company Medicago has developed a plant-based vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). The two-dose vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLP) grown in a tobacco shrub to confer immunity against COVID-19. VLPs are molecules that closely resemble a virus. They are not infectious since they do not contain genetic material. Vaccines that use VLPs train the immune system to recognize a virus […]

Noah’s ark in space: Researchers propose building a “gene bank” on the MOON in case life on Earth goes extinct
Researchers propose building a gene bank on the moon that would house the seeds of 6.7 million species on Earth. Similar to Noah’s Ark, the gene bank would serve as a “modern insurance policy” that would ensure the survival of terrestrial life should an extinction-level event happen. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” said Jekan Thanga, a professor of aerospace and mechanical […]

Over 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust from comets and asteroids bombard Earth every year – study
In a study published on April 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, an international team of researchers found that more than 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust fall on the planet every year. Tiny meteors in the form of interplanetary dust bombard Earth all the time. Some of these particles travel at exceptional speeds and turn into shooting stars […]

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests
A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub […]

3 Crucial processes: Study suggests humans can breathe thanks to volcanoes, tectonics and cyanobacteria
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and Rice University have tied up multiple complex processes to come up with one comprehensive theory answering how oxygen became ubiquitous on Earth. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers described how tectonic activity –the shifting of Earth’s outer crust – led to the formation of volcanoes that spewed massive amounts of carbon […]

Back off, bugs: Sweet potato cultivars use a specific odor to warn other plants of herbivores
A variety of sweet potato emits a specific odor that not only deters incoming pests – it also alerts neighboring plants of its kind to the presence of a threat. That’s according to researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology (MPICE) in Germany and National Taiwan University, who examined a sweet potato cultivar called Tainong 57, […]

Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least 8 months after infection, study says
A study published in February in the journal Science shows that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) lasts at least eight months after a person has contracted COVID-19. This finding is an optimistic sign that immunity can probably last for many years. “There was a lot of concern originally that this virus might not induce much memory,” Shane Crotty, an infectious […]

Face masks are laced with cancer-causing toxic chemicals
Scientists found that some face masks used by the general public are laced with toxic chemicals, including known carcinogens and environmental pollutants. Michael Braungart, a German chemist and the scientific director of environmental nonprofit Hamburg Environmental Institute, carried out tests on face masks that people had worn shortly before developing rashes on the face. He detected formaldehyde, aniline and other toxic chemicals in […]

Researchers use “ocean elevators” to grow giant sea kelp – a promising source of biofuel
Researchers made a makeshift “elevator” in the ocean to grow giant kelp, the world’s biggest species of marine algae and a promising source of biofuel. The researchers explained that giant kelp needs to be moved up and down the ocean column every day to thrive. “The key idea is moving kelp stocks daily up to near-surface waters […]

Lunar mining: Researchers propose creating arcs of lightning to extract water and metal from the moon
Researchers propose using arcs of lightning to extract lunar resources such as water and metals all at once. The technique, called “ablative arc mining,” will be “like putting lightning over the surface of the moon,” according to lead researcher Amelia Greig, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Aerospace Center at the University of […]
