A few years after the world went crazy for vantablack (a material that can absorb almost all light), a new shade has emerged at the other end of the spectrum. It's white paint that reflects light so much that one day it could be the solution...
High temperatures in October suggest with great confidence that 2023 is likely to be the warmest year on record. The BBC reported in more detail. Experts do not think that November and December will be able to significantly affect the situation, especially given the warm start...
In 2001, a group of Japanese scientists made a startling discovery at a garbage dump. In trenches filled with dirt and waste, they found a slimy film of bacteria that happily chewed on plastic bottles, toys and other small items. By breaking down garbage, bacteria obtained energy from carbon...
Researchers have found that synchronizing calorie intake synchronizes circadian rhythms in many organ systems in mice. Does it work on humans, Scitech Daily said. Numerous studies have shown the health benefits of time-restricted food intake, including increased life expectancy…
At the 33rd Ig Nobel Prize ceremony at Harvard University, winners were announced for their unusual and sometimes eccentric research in various fields of knowledge. This year's winners include works related to such topics as the reasons why scientists lick stones, sensations,…
Researchers from the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, led by Professor Jeffrey Hubbell, have demonstrated that their drug can reverse the autoimmune response associated with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. Scitech Daily reported in more detail. Researchers from the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago...
A team of researchers from the RMIT University in Australia has discovered that coffee grounds can be used as a substitute for silica in the concrete production process. If the correct proportions are observed, then this method gives a much stronger chemical bond than sand. The Yahoo! edition told in more detail. …
Cancer has a powerful new enemy - and it's all due to a 9-year-old girl with an unforgettable smile. What does this child have to do with the cure for cancer, the New York Post explained. Researchers have developed a drug containing a molecule called AOH1996. She destroys everything...
Scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have for the first time managed to encode a bacteriological toxin into messenger RNA molecules, which delivered it to cancer cells and caused the disease to actually commit suicide. How it all happens, the Browser told. The results of the study were published in the journal Theranostics. Revolutionary…
A group of researchers from the US and UK said they have created the world's first synthetic structures, similar to a human embryo, from stem cells, bypassing the need for eggs and sperm. CNN writes about it. These embryonic structures are in the earliest stages of human development:…
