Researchers discover why there is a speed limit on the properties of light
Swedish researchers finally found the reason why we cannot alter the properties of light past a certain speed, even in artificial materials that are designed to do just that. In a recent article by Science Daily, they explained the discovery of the need to take a different approach to get past the speed limit. Electromagnetic (EM) […]

Researchers find an elegant solution for improving the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are set to become much safer and last far longer thanks to a neat solution devised by Cornell engineers. An article in Newswise states that the innovation will revitalize this particular type of rechargeable battery, which has pretty much peaked in terms of performance. Professor Lynden Archer of Cornell University (Cornell) explained that […]

New evidence helps astronomers determine when life could have existed on Mars
Analysis of a rare meteorite from Mars has provided new evidence that the planet crystallized and formed its crust very quickly. An article on Science Daily stated that this rapid crust formation translates into a much better chance for alien life to have formed and existed on the Red Planet during its early years. The […]

Interstellar space is filled with “toxic grease” that would make future space travel very difficult, say researchers
Manned spacecraft better pack windshield wipers when they venture out of the solar system and into interstellar space. An article in The Daily Mail Online reported that the void between the stars are filled with greasy carbon dust that is toxic to life despite being made of the same element as organic life. This dust […]

Inspired by the chameleon, scientists develop a laser that changes colors
What might be so special about a very small laser that can change the color of the light it emits? Well, Illinois-based researchers based their new nanolaser on the natural ability of the chameleon to alter the coloration of its skin at the nano-scale level, an article on News Wise stated. The chameleon is best […]

New space study shows a surprisingly large number of massive stars across the universe
Most of the stars in the night sky are red dwarfs. But a new U.K. study has discovered that there is also an astonishingly larger number of much bigger stars in certain parts of the universe. An article in Space.com stated that the existence of this many massive stars could explain the changes that galaxies […]

Spider silk is so strong that researchers can use it to improve the performance of piezoelectric nanogenerators
Spider silk is pretty strong stuff. It’s so strong, Indian and South Korean researchers are using it to create nano-scale piezoelectric generators. In an article in Nanowerk, the researchers reported getting spider silk molecules to generate an electric charge when placed under physical pressure. This was the first time a piezoelectric response has been elicited […]

Giant black hole blasted out a jet of particles at 125 billion times the amount of energy the sun releases per year, confirms new study
For the first time ever, European astronomers recorded a torrent of energy many billions of times more powerful than the annual output of our Sun in a distant galaxy. The source of this monstrous blast was a star getting eaten by a supermassive black hole, an article on Space.com reported. Thanks to this discovery, the researchers will […]

Researchers boost crop production 47% by speeding photorespiration
Natural proteins are just as important for plants as they are for humans. In an article on Science Daily, researchers described how higher levels of a particular factor, H-protein, could improve the photorespiration of plants, which would in turn greatly increase the yield of the crop. The H-protein in question is usually found in the […]

Unexpected discovery could pave the way to more efficient biofuels and bioproducts
An ordinary yet important enzyme might be the key to unlocking even more riches out of plants. In an article on News Wise, Tennessee-based researchers announced that the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase could make it much easier to turn plants into valuable biofuels and bioproducts. Amino acids are vital for both plants and the organisms […]
