Oil companies in Saudi Arabia use nanotechnology for petroleum extraction to minimize environmental pollution
There are few greater oxymorons than “environment-friendly oil company,” especially if said company is the biggest example in the world. But Saudi Aramco is trying to do just that, using nanotechnology to max out the petroleum from its oil wells while minimizing environmental pollution, an article in Nanowerks stated. Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) professor Nancy Burnham […]

New catalyst may allow turbocharging of fuel cells
While efficient and environment-friendly, fuel cell technology has been slow to take off. But a game-changing catalyst offers to turbocharge the fuel cell’s electrochemical process, according to an article on NewsWise. The catalyst was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. It vastly accelerates the rate at which the cell processes oxygen to […]

Too much water on a planet is not good either: Alien planets on Trappist-1 may be too wet for life
Too much of anything often ends up being a bad thing. In the case of the exoplanets orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1, it’s water. A shocking new study claims the seven planets are too wet to support life, according to a Space.com article. Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) believe the TRAPPIST-1 planets contain hundreds of […]

Galaxies wrinkle, too: Study concludes that galaxies grow bigger and puffier as they age
Galaxies grow old, and those cosmic wrinkles show on human instruments. In a Science Daily article, an international study found that galaxies get bigger and puffier as they age. The study was jointly conducted by The Australian National University (ANU) and The University of Sydney (USYD). One of the researchers involved in the project was Professor […]

Diamonds found in a meteorite are the remains of a lost planet that was once part of our early solar system
Ten years ago, the Almahata Sitta meteorite entered the Earth’s atmosphere, only to burst into flames in the skies above Sudan. But it left behind tiny diamonds that could have come from the heart of a “lost planet” when the solar system was being born, as stated in a report from The Guardian. The nanodiamonds […]

Theoretical physicists have proposed a new form of matter called “superfluid quasicrystal”
Matter isn’t just limited to the solid, liquid, and gaseous forms you’re familiar with. It also takes other forms, such as the plasma in the Sun or your plasma TV. In a ScienceDaily article, a new Dallas-based study has proposed a new form of matter called “superfluid quasicrystal.” A superfluid is a very rare state […]

Army scientists say they’ve found a way to block cyber hackers
Los Angeles-based researchers working for the U.S. Army announced that they have finally found the signature of the elusive Majorana fermion. According to an article on ScienceDaily, this theoretical particle will allow quantum encryption technologies that would block cyber hackers from accessing communication networks. The particle was named after Ettore Majorana, an Italian theoretical physicist who predicted its […]

Uranus smells, says scientist, who finds that the planet’s upper atmosphere is composed of hydrogen sulfide
The findings of a new U.K. study suggest that the upper atmosphere of the seventh planet in our Solar System smells the same as rotten eggs, reports a Live Science article. The study specifically suggested that the topmost clouds of Uranus contain a lot of hydrogen sulfide. You may not be familiar with that chemical, but if you […]

Do wormholes exist? Astronomers say that these cosmic shortcuts could be leaving behind telltale “shadows”
Wormholes are the even more mysterious but nicer sibling of black holes. They’re both massive yet invisible distortions in space-time that swallow up anything that gets too near them. They even leave similar “shadows,” and according to a LiveScience article, the “smooshed” oblong shadow cast by a wormhole can be detected by radio telescopes. If […]

Space models suggest that a cosmic impact created Mars’ moons
American scientists have uncovered evidence supporting the theory that an asteroid impact formed the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. According to an article on Space.com, their computer models showed that an event involving an object of the same size as the biggest members of the asteroid belt would have launched sufficient debris to form the […]
