Seaweed biofuel for your car or truck may one day be a reality with the help of new technology
The United States Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is handling two seafood cultivation projects which are geared towards the promotion of seaweed as an alternative form of biofuel. This, for the department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). These new projects, which are under ARPA-E’s Macroalgae Research Inspiring Novel Energy Resources program (MARINER), are […]

Mother Nature’s amazing tech: Researchers studied dandelions to develop new parachutes, drones
The science behind how dandelions scatter their seeds is carefully being studied by researchers in biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and microfabrication at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, lending them information into the physics of parachutes and giving them ideas on how to design small drones or micro air vehicles. The researchers gave the answer as to why […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue
Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]

Scientists are closer to understanding how your brain stores information
Researchers at the Interdisciplinary Institute for Neurosciences (CNRS/Universite de Bordeaux) and the Bordeaux Imaging Center (CNRS/Universite de Bordeaux/Inserm) have discovered a new process for storing information in synapses and controlling how such information was stored, paving the way for understanding memory’s molecular mechanisms and learning processes. Messages between neurons pass through more than one billion […]

Be your own generator: New technology converts energy from bloodflow into electricity
Dams and huge turbines are built to convert the water energy that waterfalls and rivers have into electricity. In order to manufacture that kind of energy on a far smaller scale, Chinese scientists are working on a lightweight power generator which is based on carbon nanotube fibers that can convert even the energy of the […]

Contrary to what your dentist may tell you, you CAN reverse tooth decay, new research finds
A recent study brings good news to people who have a sweet tooth and those who neglect to properly brush their teeth. Scientists were able to discover that teeth have the ability to reverse tooth decay; meaning, traces of such tooth damage can be totally gone, thus doing away with the necessity to undergo oral […]
