Ultra-high performance concrete accidentally discovered when they added recycled, milled glass
Lithuanian researchers have accidentally hit upon a winning recipe for cheap yet strong and environment-friendly building materials. By combining locally available resources and recycled materials – milled glass, to be precise – they’ve come up with ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) that matches the strength of its regular counterparts at half the cost, reported an AlphaGalileo article. When […]

In the near future, paint colors may be grown from bacteria
In the future, the paint applied to a wall or sprayed on a car body might feature bacterial colonies that can change color according to your liking or lighting, suggested a NanoWerk article. This development is possible thanks to British researchers who unlocked the genes responsible for many bright and vivid colors Mother Nature likes […]

Revolutionary diagnosis: A single blood test can now detect Lyme and other tick-borne diseases
Testing methods for tick-borne diseases tend to be cumbersome, unreliable, specialized, or even nonexistent. That is, until a Science Daily article reported the recently-developed Tick-Borne Disease Serochip (TBD-Serochip) can accurately diagnose eight different tick-borne pathogens, including the bacterium responsible for the widespread Lyme disease. The brainchild of a large team of researchers from the Centers for Disease Control […]

DISCOVERY: Egg whites the “missing link” for low-cost production of clean hydrogen fuel
Eggs have long been a delicious and fulfilling source of energy for groggy people who need protein in their stomach. But now, a Japanese research team suggested that egg whites can be used to make a clean-burning fuel for power generation, reported Science Daily. Study leader Hiroyasu Tabe of the Osaka City University said hydrogen shows promise […]

Photon torpedoes and light sabers closer to becoming reality as scientists create new form of light
We may be getting closer to the day when we finally see if a light saber can stop a photon torpedo. That’s because American researchers have succeeded in getting photons to interact and combine with each other to create what is essentially a new form of light, reported an MIT News article. Photons are elementary […]

New thermoelectric technology harvests power from temperature fluctuations
Massachusetts researchers have invented the first of a new breed of thermoelectric devices, reported Science Daily. Dubbed the “thermal resonator,” it can generate electricity from its surroundings on a 24/7 basis for years. Thermoelectric devices convert heat from sunlight into electricity. A thermal resonator, on the other hand, taps the regular shifts in temperature that take place throughout […]

Innovative new antimicrobial adhesive uses essential oils to reduce bacterial infection risk in Europe’s hospitals
A group of European researchers will be harnessing the natural antibacterial properties of essential oils. Their goal is to create an adhesive antimicrobial film that could prevent deadly infections in hospitals, reported an Alpha Galileo article. Their efforts are part of the “Antimicrobial FLEXibal POLymers for its use in hospital environments” (FLEXPOL project), which is funded by the European Commission and […]
