Researchers use “ocean elevators” to grow giant sea kelp – a promising source of biofuel
Researchers made a makeshift “elevator” in the ocean to grow giant kelp, the world’s biggest species of marine algae and a promising source of biofuel. The researchers explained that giant kelp needs to be moved up and down the ocean column every day to thrive. “The key idea is moving kelp stocks daily up to near-surface waters […]

Lunar mining: Researchers propose creating arcs of lightning to extract water and metal from the moon
Researchers propose using arcs of lightning to extract lunar resources such as water and metals all at once. The technique, called “ablative arc mining,” will be “like putting lightning over the surface of the moon,” according to lead researcher Amelia Greig, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Aerospace Center at the University of […]

Earth’s mantle houses the remains of the ancient planet Theia, researchers suggest
Researchers hypothesize that massive blobs of dense rocks hugging Earth’s core may be the sunken remains of Theia, a Mars-sized protoplanet thought to have smashed into the young Earth billions of years ago. Qian Yuan, a doctoral student of geodynamics at Arizona State University and the lead researcher of the study, presented their hypothesis during the 52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, which was held […]

First global geologic map of Saturn’s moon Titan reveals an amazing liquid landscape
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released the first global geological map of Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Made using data from NASA’s Cassini mission, the map offers a unique glimpse into the distinct geologic features of Titan. Rich streams of liquids flow through the Mercury-sized world, revealing a liquid landscape formed through the same […]

Buried treasure: Gold and precious gems uncovered from a 5th century burial site in Czech Republic
A treasure trove of valuable artifacts, such as a headdress and four silver buckles inlaid with gold and and semiprecious stones, were stashed away for more than 1,600 years in an ancient grave in Czech Republic. Discovered in 2019 by Czech archaeologists from the East Bohemian Museum, the grave housed the remains of a woman estimated to be aged 35 to […]

Zodiacal light: Eerie glow at dusk and dawn traced back to Mars
A study led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) suggests that Mars may be responsible for the zodiacal light, a faint cone of light commonly seen extending from the horizon before dawn and at dusk. The zodiacal light is the sunlight reflected toward Earth by a cloud of dust particles orbiting the sun. Scientists previously thought that the […]

Dual-function catalyst produces hydrogen fuel while cleaning up polluted water
Researchers developed a new catalyst that generates hydrogen fuel while destroying water pollutants. In a study published on March 17 in the journal ACS ES&T Engineering, the researchers described how they merged multiple metals to more efficiently produce hydrogen from wastewater. Exploring a clean and efficient way of generating hydrogen Hydrogen is a low-polluting source of energy and one of the most abundant […]

Mars’ “missing” water has been locked up in the planet’s crust, study finds
Researchers from the California Institute of Technology found that most of the “missing” water on Mars did not really escape into space. Instead, the bulk of Martian water likely remained on the planet, locked up inside its crust through water-bearing minerals. Where did the water on Mars go? Scientists long suspected that liquid water used to flow […]

Wounds on sharks are infection-free thanks to a complex germ ecosystem on the skin that prevent contamination
Sharks swim in dirty ocean waters that could easily cause infection, yet experts rarely see gaping shark wounds getting infected. Now, an international team of researchers has figured out what’s keeping shark wounds free from contamination. In a study published in the journal Animal Microbiome, the researchers explained that the skin of black-tip reef sharks is […]

Exposure to common plastics increases risk of diabetes, reveals study
A study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives shows that chemicals commonly found in plastics can increase diabetes risk. French and Australian researchers found that exposure to high levels of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) is associated with a two times-higher risk of Type 2 diabetes. Exposure to plastic chemicals increases diabetes risk BPA is used in disposable […]
