Human-induced climate change reversed 6,500-year global cooling trend

What would Earth’s climate naturally be doing if it weren’t for human intervention? Researchers at Northern Arizona University have now analyzed over 12,000 years of climate data, and found that human-induced warming interrupted and reversed a long-ter… Continue reading Human-induced climate change reversed 6,500-year global cooling trend→

Promising golden staph treatment targets toxins instead of bacteria

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcal aureus (MRSA) is a common and quite dangerous hospital infection that’s resistant to many drugs. Now, researchers at New York University have developed a new treatment path that targets not the bacteria itself, but … Continue reading Promising golden staph treatment targets toxins instead of bacteria→

Nanofiber material tough as Kevlar but 20 times more heat-resistant

Kevlar and Twaron are famously tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber version of the material that’s just as strong, but much more insulat… Continue reading Nanofiber material tough as Kevlar but 20 times more heat-resistant→

Astronomers witness black hole collision give off unexpected light

Astronomers have observed a bright flash of light from space, which appears to have come from a collision between two black holes. And that’s surprising, considering that black holes are famously dark objects.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTag… Continue reading Astronomers witness black hole collision give off unexpected light→

Shifting stacks of 2D metals could make fast, dense new data storage

A new type of data storage system could be denser, smaller, faster and more energy efficient than silicon chips. The new method involves encoding data in sliding stacks of two-dimensional layers of metals.Continue ReadingCategory: Electronics, ScienceT… Continue reading Shifting stacks of 2D metals could make fast, dense new data storage→

Activating brown fat receptors helps mice burn fat, build muscle

Researchers have found a way to reverse some signs of aging in mice. By triggering receptors on a fast-burning form of fat, the team was able to give older animals less fat and more muscle, making them as healthy as much younger mice. And better yet, h… Continue reading Activating brown fat receptors helps mice burn fat, build muscle→
