Essential fats found to play a role in gene expression
A Canadian study established that essential fats from plants are important regulators of proteins that are exuded by muscle tissue. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) are the polyunsaturated fatty acids that greatly affect the expression of genes responsible for skeletal muscle secretome. The study was led by researchers from the University of Guelph. […]

The mysterious glow in the Milky Way may be coming from clouds of DIAMONDS in space
The next time you look up into the night sky to appreciate the Milky Way, think of diamonds. Researchers have theorized that some of the glowing light emitted by our galaxy is caused by massive clouds of tiny diamonds in space, an article on The Daily Mail reported. The light in question are streams of […]

Experts: More than 100 giant exoplanets may have potentially life-hosting moons
The search for extraterrestrial life is no longer restricted to exoplanets. New research suggests that an exomoon with the right conditions can sustain life forms. In an article on Space.com, California-based researchers reported that there are more than 100 gas giant exoplanets with at least one moon that can possibly host alien life. Earth-like exoplanets hog […]

Could eggshell membranes be the next great biomaterial for harvesting green energy?
Of all the naturally occurring organic materials in the world, you wouldn’t think eggs would have anything to do with collecting clean, sustainable energy. And it is not even the entire egg, but just the shell. An article on Nanowerks covered how eggshell membranes might serve as a biomaterial for piezoelectric materials used in nanogenerators. […]

New mathematical model shows what happens when a black hole devours a star
A joint team of Danish and American researchers has come up with an unnerving mathematical model of the fate of any star that drifts near a supermassive black hole. In their recently published study, they showed that the star gets ripped asunder by immense gravitational forces, an article in Science Daily stated. The ensuing tidal disruption […]

The discovery of preserved organics on Mars calls for new tests targeting biosignatures, says scientist
In June 2018, the unstoppable Curiosity rover uncovered preserved organic compounds in the Gale crater of Mars. The momentous find led an interplanetary expert to argue that future missions bring experiments and instruments for identifying bio-signatures, an article in News Wise reported. “The presence of preserved organics, carbon-hydrogen containing, compounds at the Gale crater site […]

“Air-con” clothes? Scientists develop cooling fabric inspired by the comet moth
Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate their cooling […]

Research team finds a way to cheaply create nanotubes made from carbon dioxide extracted out of the air
Potentially toxic carbon dioxide can now be transformed into invaluable carbon nanotubes. In a Science Direct article, researchers from Tennessee have reported creating a prototype device that can absorb CO2 from the air and turn it into “black gold.” Carbon nanotubes possess a strength that exceeds steel and a conductivity superior to commonly used copper. […]

Cool science: Ruthenium is the fourth element discovered to have unique magnetic properties at room temperature
The exclusive club of single elements that display ferromagnetism at room temperatures now has a new member. Minnesota-based researchers reported that ruthenium can have magnetic properties in ambient temperature, an article in Science Daily states. Ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism wherein the material creates permanent magnets or are drawn towards magnets. Until recently, only three […]

Isolated magnesium shows all the promise of its gold and silver cousins with none of the drawbacks
Texan researchers have successfully synthesized an isolated form of plasmonic magnesium nanoparticles, an article in Nano Werks has reported. Not only do these tiny particles possess the same plasmon-emitting capabilities as their gold, silver, and aluminum equivalents, but they also avoid the pitfalls of their more expensive counterparts. The new nanoparticles are the handiwork of […]
