Researchers have recycled clothing waste into an “aerogel” supermaterial that can help stop wound bleeding
Cotton-based fabric waste has a multitude of uses that range from being recycled into polishing and wiper clothes to automotive insulation. Though, as researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered and demonstrated, this type of waste could be turned into cotton aerogels that have their own practical applications. The cotton aerogels, which […]

Human bone tissue grown from a patient’s fat cells in a lab, then implanted to finish growing inside the patient’s body
Thanks to an extraordinary medical procedure, a man is on the road to recovering from a fractured tibia with a bone graft created from his own fat cells. This isn’t a work of science fiction; it’s the result of efforts made by Bonus BioGroup, an Israel-based biomedical company. According to the TimesOfIsrael.com, a traffic accident […]

Researchers say any life on Mars was more likely subterranean rather than living on the surface
Forget the surface of Mars: if we want to find signs of life, we need to go underground. The red planet may be similar to Earth in some aspects, but it also greatly differs in others. That’s why, according to Dr. Joseph Michalski, an associate professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at The University […]

Smart coating that’s hard like enamel but can self-heal was inspired by human skin
Smart coatings: they’re either too soft and wear down easily, or too hard and offer little room for flexibility. This is a dilemma that researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology have tackled and attempted to overcome. To that end, the investigative team has come up with a smart coating that possesses both the durability […]

Amateur astronomer saves NASA mission: Researchers lost contact with the IMAGE satellite in 2005, but it’s been found, still functioning
In late January, Scott Tilley, was scanning the skies for hidden satellites. The 47-year-old electrical engineer in Canada and self-described amateur radio astronomer was on the lookout for a secret government satellite code-named “Zuma.” Instead of finding Zuma, Tilley uncovered something more extraordinary floating in Earth’s orbit: a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellite […]

Science experiments on the space station: Innovative “bone glue” may stimulate bone growth, treat osteoporosis
Gradual bone loss is a serious side effect that astronauts must endure during protracted spaceflights. This is due to the absence of gravity. Without gravity, bone regeneration undergoes a significant reduction while bone resorption increases. Scientists have been attempting to find a solution to this grave health issue for years, and they may have found […]

Have you heard of a GIGAPIXEL? The hunt for alien life is getting a new gigantic telescope in Chile equipped with the biggest digital camera on Earth
A brief video captured via drone has shown the progress of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a truly colossal instrument equipped with the world’s largest digital camera. The 3.2 gigapixel CCD imaging camera is said to be so powerful that no less than 1,500 high-definition screens are needed in order to display a single image. […]

Self-healing fungi concrete may be a sustainable solution for America’s crumbling infrastructure
A team of researchers from Binghamton University has developed a self-healing fungi concrete. In collaboration with scientists from the State University of New York, the team hopes that their creation can save America’s infrastructure by permanently repairing cracks. The researchers used Trichoderma reesei, a fungus which they mixed with concrete. They discovered that the fungi […]

World’s biggest telescope is almost ready for its launch next year – scientists are hoping it will spot alien life
The James Webb Telescope has successfully concluded a series of tests prior to its proposed launch in the year 2019. After being subjected to 100 days of cryogenic testing — to prove that it can remain operational in deep space — the megatelescope emerged victorious. Having passed this grueling exam, its engineers are confident that […]

Researchers have developed “artificial muscles” with superhuman speed and strength, and the ability to self-heal
Forget cold, metal shells — the robots of the tomorrow could be covered in soft, artificial muscles. That’s certainly what researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder appear to be working towards. Taking inspiration from organic muscle, the team of scientists has come up with robotic muscles that combine incredible strength and impressive flexibility. On […]
