Researchers use laser to “superfreeze” antimatter, the mysterious mirror version of “ordinary” matter
Researchers from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) successfully used laser to cool antimatter to near absolute zero. The chilled antimatter reached temperatures just one-twentieth of a degree above absolute zero (minus 459.67 F), which was more than 3,000 times cooler than the coldest recorded temperature in the Antarctic. The laser-cooling technique, which the researchers developed as part […]

From light to liquid fuel: Experts use sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into methanol
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory researchers has found a new way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, an alcohol commonly used as an alternative fuel. In a paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers described how they used sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to trigger carbon dioxide conversion. Using photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to fuel […]

Survey by international research team shows number of insect species in various areas have plunged by ONE-THIRD
Various insect species have declined by around one-third in the last 10 years, according to a survey conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany. The decline mainly affects grasslands located near intensively farmed land but also applies to forests and protected areas. The survey researchers collected more than one million insects at grassland and forest sites in […]

Newly discovered wasp species can turn its prey into zombies
Researchers have discovered 15 previously unknown species of wasps that can turn their prey into zombies. The newfound species lay their eggs in their hosts like others in the genus Acrotaphus. After an egg hatches, the larva takes over the body of its prey and manipulates its behavior. “The Acrotaphus wasps we studied are very interesting as they are able […]

Study: Even people with mild COVID-19 may develop lifelong natural immunity to the coronavirus
A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that people who recovered from a mild case of COVID-19 may have developed lifelong immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine arrived at this finding after tracking people who have had mild COVID-19. They found that these individuals still had immune cells that produce antibodies […]

Study: Tropical trees with thick leaves adapt well to high levels of carbon dioxide (because plants love CO2)
A team led by University of Washington (UW) researchers found that tropical plants with thick leaves respond very well to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Global Geobiochemical Cycles, the researchers detailed how multiple changes in the plants’ leaves preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Plants […]

Animal study reveals cadmium exposure and Alzheimer’s risk gene may be linked to cognitive impairment
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cadmium exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, might accelerate cognitive decline. The researchers arrived at this finding after exposing mice with an Alzheimer’s risk gene to cadmium. They detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Toxicological Sciences. The effects of cadmium plus an Alzheimer’s risk gene The […]

Mexico City sinking at “unstoppable rate” of up to 20 inches a year, study finds
A recent study found that Mexico City is sinking at a rate of up to 20 inches per year. Researchers explained that this unstoppable plunge occurs because the ground on which the city rests is rapidly compacting after being drained of water by decades of groundwater extraction. The Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico is built on what was once Lake Texcoco, […]

Researchers discover what may be the largest land drawings ever made
French researchers have discovered a network of land drawings in India’s Thar Desert that they claim is the largest artifact of its kind worldwide. The network contains drawings that include four spiral patterns etched into a 20-hectare area of land near the village of Boha. Carlo and Yohann Oetheimer, a father-and-son independent research duo from France, discovered the artifacts after examining Google […]

Study: Rolling blocks of dry ice create gullies on Mars
Gullies on Mars have fascinated scientists for some time. These sawtoothed networks of narrow channels commonly appear on Martian slopes. They look just like gullies on Earth and give the impression that powerful streams of water recently cascaded the surface. But all of the water on the Red Planet has been hidden underground or locked up on the poles as […]
