Collaborate Disseminate
Mars is a pretty inhospitable place, and NASA recently ruined the fun by showing that it’s just not feasible to terraform the entire planet. But what about just certain parts of it? Now, researchers from Harvard have shown that thin layers of… Continue reading Harvard study says an inch of silica aerogel could make patches of Mars liveable
Virtual reality systems have aced movement of the hands and head, but it’s still tricky to track the feet. Now games hardware company Kat is crowdfunding the Kat Loco, a set of three sensors that attach to a player’s feet and hip to translate… Continue reading Kat Loco wearable sensors give VR movement a leg up
Although it makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe, dark matter is frustratingly hard to pin down. In order to figure out what it is, much of the search is about ruling out what dark matter isn’t, and now physicists at Stanfo… Continue reading Stanford study suggests dark matter is lighter and more elusive than previously thought
Our bodies have powerful built-in defenses in the form of the immune system, but sometimes it needs an extra push. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy involves reprogramming T-cells to hunt down cancer, which has been effective aga… Continue reading MIT supercharges cancer immunotherapy with a booster vaccine
You know what planets are. You’re familiar with moons. But what do you get when you cross the two? “Ploonets,” according to astronomers from Australia and Colombia. These weird, hypothetical objects start life as a moon circling a giant plane… Continue reading Hypothetical "ploonets" would blur the lines between planets and moons
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered structures around a black hole that were thought to be impossible. A small, “malnourished” black hole was found to have a flat disk of material circling it – a feature thought uniqu… Continue reading Hubble spots "impossible" structure around a malnourished black hole
A huge range of drugs are in development to help fight cancer, but sometimes they work better in pairs than alone. Now researchers at MIT have identified a surprising new dynamic drug duo, combining two classes that are already beginning to be widely used. Interestingly, the combo appears to work in a completely different way to what scientists previously expected.

Incredibly thin, flexible, strong and electrically conductive, graphene has the potential to revolutionize electronics and materials. One of the main hurdles though is that it’s tricky to manufacture on large scales. Now researchers at the Un… Continue reading Bacteria recruited to produce graphene on the cheap
How life arose from non-living material is one of the most profound mysteries facing science, and now a new study from the University College London (UCL) may have brought us a step closer to understanding it. The team may have solved a long-… Continue reading Scientists offer solution for chemical chicken-and-egg problem of the origins of life
Fossilized human skulls found in a cave in Greece may force a rewrite of the human migration timeline yet again. Archaeologists have dated one of the skulls to about 210,000 years old – roughly 150,000 years older than the previous record-hol… Continue reading Fossil skull found in Greek cave may be oldest human remains in Europe
