Study: Walking slowly may be a sign of “accelerated aging” and that you’re more likely to get sick later in life
Slow walkers, beware: You may be more prone to developing serious illnesses later in life. This is according to a team of researchers, who found that 45-year-olds with a naturally slow pace when walking have bodies that exhibit signs of accelerated aging. These signs included impaired immune function and unhealthy lungs and teeth. Even worse was that […]

Chemists develop a revolutionary material that self-assembles, with potential applications in health and electronics
Future technologies may soon be made from self-assembling materials, according to chemists from Trinity College Dublin. The team successfully created a new material that self-assembles into two-dimensional (2D) networks in a predictable and reproducible manner — a property that gives it the potential to be used in numerous applications. As noted by its creators in […]

Images from ESA’s spacecraft shows Nirgal Vallis, an ancient, dried-up river system on Mars
Experts say an ancient river system complete with streams, valleys and tributaries once flowed on Mars following new images from the Mars Express spacecraft. Spanning nearly 435 miles across the planet’s surface and located south of the planet’s equator, the river system – named Nirgal Vallis by scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) – was said to have been shaped both […]

“Cosmic mountain ranges” in the Milky Way continue to puzzle researchers
It may not be that apparent to us but in some regions of our home galaxy, stars, apparently, have clumped together to form shapes that may be familiar to us here on Earth. According to researchers, these baffling formations were first discovered in 2013, during the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. The Gaia mission, as […]

Scientists crack mystery behind strong, resilient mollusk shells
Scientists have finally cracked the secret behind one of Nature’s strongest materials. Nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is the rainbow-sheened material that lines the insides of mussel and other mollusk shells. It is also widely considered to be one of the toughest substances in Nature, with scientists noting its hardness and resilience as being particularly impressive. […]
