Researchers have developed a safer alternative MRI contrast agent that clears more quickly, is less toxic than standard agents
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, has long been a staple of modern medicine. With that said, its widespread use has always been under scrutiny, not just for the risks of radiation but also due to the use of potentially harmful elements that are employed to improve the quality of the images that the machine’s scans […]

Understanding innate fears: Scientists study why snakes and spiders evoke a stress response, even in babies
Why are human babies afraid of creepy-crawlies such as spiders or snakes? Is it something that they learn as they grow older? What about extremely young infants who have never been exposed to these creatures beforehand? According to new research from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS), the answers to […]

New biological batteries use energy inspired by electric eels, could be used on next-gen robots, bio-implants
Battery technology is constantly improving, despite there being only fair coverage about it on the news. Unless you’re specifically looking for what’s new in the world of rechargeable batteries, you aren’t likely to find a lot of information. But there are many experts around the world who are currently working on improving the technology behind […]

China’s man-made diamonds are chemically identical to the real thing, and De Beers isn’t happy about their apparent viability
The billion dollar business of diamonds is feeling threatened, not because of millennials who are under-spending on them or simply skipping them altogether, but because of the proliferation of synthetic or fake diamonds. Yes, you read that right: Diamonds are now being faked to the level that the so-called synthetic ones are downright indistinguishable from actual, […]

MIT researchers unveil better approach to rechargeable batteries that could lead to inexpensive power storage
Battery technology is continuously being improved every day, but most of the innovation that you end up seeing pretty much daily are related to mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, those aren’t the only things that require batteries. Sometimes, batteries are used in places where the overall cost of materials matters much […]

Scientists discover marbled crayfish that didn’t exist 25 years ago but are somehow able to clone themselves
Animal cloning is a highly controversial topic that has been the subject of heated debate between experts for quite some time now. Should it be done by humans? Do its cons really outweigh the benefits that it offers? Regardless of the current mainstream view on it, it’s something that’s being done by animals themselves. Indeed, […]

Triboelectricity: Renewable, wireless energy source generates electricity from motion
Wireless energy transfer has been around as a concept for quite a long time now. But it has never really been implemented in a practical sense. Now a team of researchers from Clemson University has developed a fully working wireless energy source that is capable of generating electricity from simple motions such as waves, taps, […]

Deciphering earthquake patterns: Scientists examining sediment cores determine large quakes are not as random as previously thought
Earthquakes can be devastating primarily because of two things: first, they tend to have massively destructive power; and second, they are largely unpredictable. Indeed, because of the seemingly random occurrences of most earthquakes, they usually leave behind huge amounts of destruction. Now a new team of researchers has gathered data to prove that, despite all […]

Scientists “break technical barrier” that’s preventing the cloning of primates, including humans
Cloning has been – and probably always will be – one of the most important scientific discoveries made by humans. It has been a major fascination for at least half a dozen generations now, even if it may never be used directly on people because of the social, political, moral, and ethical concerns surrounding it. In […]
