Growth-promoting bacteria found to improve potato yield despite unfavorable conditions
Researchers from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia tested the effects of two growth-promoting bacteria, namely, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Azospirillum brasilense, on the yield of three potato varieties. Their findings were published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science. The researchers planted three potato varieties with different longevity of growth periods – “Morgana” (mid-early variety), […]

Mysterious “Havana syndrome” affects more American diplomats, soldiers and spies than previously thought
A mysterious neurological ailment dubbed the “Havana syndrome” may be more widespread among U.S. diplomats, soldiers and spies than previously thought. The ailment was first reported five years ago by employees working at the U.S. embassy in Havana, Cuba, giving it its name. Now, more than 130 people, far more than previously known, have reportedly […]

NASA’s Voyager 1 discovers mysterious “hum” outside the solar system
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration‘s (NASA) Voyager 1 probe has picked up a strange “hum” coming from outside our solar system. Launched back in 1977, Voyager 1 is currently the most distant man-made object ever. Its 44-year journey has taken it past the edge of the solar system into the interstellar medium. Now, instruments aboard Voyager 1 that have […]

Warp speed may be possible, but it will require huge amounts of energy
Faster-than-light, or superluminal, travel to other star systems using technology such as “warp speed” has long been the realm of science fiction. But a new study shows that this kind of travel may one day be possible; it will just take tremendous amounts of energy. American physicist Erik Lentz from the University of Gottingen in Germany is […]

Methanol fuel cells shown to provide higher efficiency than pure hydrogen
A new analysis shows that methanol fuel cells are more efficient at producing electricity than hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells use hydrogen – the most abundant element in the universe – to produce clean and efficient electricity to power cars, trucks, buses and ships, as well as even homes and businesses. Hydrogen is considered the cleanest […]

Immense hydrocarbon cycle discovered in the world’s oceans
In a new study, researchers discovered a whole new cycle of natural hydrocarbon production and recycling in the world’s oceans. This discovery can help scientists better understand how the ocean’s microbes will respond to hydrocarbons present in spilled petroleum. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Using funding […]
