Scientists are closer to developing a cure for Lyme disease as they discover how bacteria fight our immune responses
One of the world’s foremost experts on the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease has teased out the exact process by which Borrelia burdorferi survives the immune responses of the body. This discovery could pave the way for effective treatments of the persistent disease, according to a ScienceDaily article. Borrelia has always been a source of fascination […]

The “information speed limit” just got doubled by quantum physicists
Quantum physicists have once more managed to bend the laws of nature. They found out how to send twice the amount of information using a single particle, effectively doubling the so-called bandwidth of the universe even though the speed of the message hasn’t increased, according to an article on Space.com. We can only transfer so […]

Holographic storage of 3D images in a nanofilm can archive more than 1,000 times more data than optical media
As we produce and amass more data, we need bigger storage spaces and better ways of organizing them. Accordingly, Chinese researchers have developed new nano-particle films that can store the hologram equivalent of more than 1,000 DVDs in a piece of film that measures 10-by-10 centimeters, according to an article in ScienceDaily. According to study […]

NASA says that aliens live on Venus, but they’re only microbes
The cloudy planet dubbed the “Morning Star” and “Evening Star” could be harboring alien life. A NASA-backed international study surmises that there could be simple but sturdy bacteria floating in the uppermost clouds of Venus, reported The Sun. Study author Sanjay Limaye of the University of Wisconsin-Madison says that computer models of Venus suggest it used to be a […]

Hydrogen-bromide flow batteries could soon power the renewable energy industry (but release a dangerous, toxic gas)
An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind farm sooner […]

Scientists have developed new semiconductors that are more environmentally friendly
Concerned with the prevalence of useful but toxic perovskites in photovoltaic cells, a group of Iowa-based researchers devised alternative materials. They reported creating cheaper and eco-friendly semiconductors with similar performance, according to a ScienceDaily article. Perovskites are light-gathering materials used as semiconductors in solar panels. While highly efficient – called “wonder materials” by the solar […]

Praise for the proton: Latest battery breakthrough may free us from lithium ion
We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works in tandem […]

Kepler, NASA’s planet-finding spacecraft, about to run out of fuel
All good things must end. So it is with Kepler, the plucky space telescope that discovered thousands of planets despite significant malfunctions. NASA announced that the spacecraft will run out of fuel in just a few months, according to an article on Space.com. “Our current estimates are that Kepler’s tank will run dry within several […]

Solar eruptions send shock waves through space; 3D models created by NASA satellites map trajectory
Recently released three-dimensional models of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) give us a much better idea of the process behind these solar eruptions. From the viewpoints of NASA satellites, massive shock waves can be seen rippling out from the Sun, according to an article on Space.com. CMEs are tremendous expulsions of plasma and charged particles from […]

Scientists discover 15 new planets, including one “super-Earth” that could harbor liquid water
Fifteen new planets were confirmed to be orbiting red dwarf stars near our solar system. As per a report that appeared in Science Daily, one of the newly-discovered worlds is a super-Earth that could have liquid water. The new exoplanets were located by researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Under the aegis of […]
