The process of aging in the human body involves many moving parts, but one that recent research continues to implicate is the role of zombie-like senescent cells. These are cells that have stopped dividing and begun to accumulate, driving a range of de… Continue reading Grape seed compound shows anti-aging potential by taking out tired cells
Solar panels continuously accumulate dust, dirt and other debris, plus they’re often located atop tall buildings or in remote areas – this means that they need to be cleaned, but doing so is difficult. That’s why a drone-based setup is now being develo… Continue reading New system will use drones to clean hard-to-reach solar panels
Earlier this year, we heard how two separate groups had developed the world’s first lab-grown rib-eye steak and Waygu beef. Israeli startup MeaTech 3D is now joining their ranks, with a “cultivated steak” of its own.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTag… Continue reading Israeli firm is the latest to print out a “real beef” lab-grown steak
If corals are going to survive on today’s ecologically stressed reefs, they’ve gotta be tough. Scientists have therefore been developing a special “turbo-charged” coral, which has recently been found to be reproducing on the Great Barrier Reef.Continue… Continue reading Special boosted coral is now reproducing on degraded areas of reef
Triton’s extraordinary range of submersibles already includes a 24-seat tourist sub, a luxury bubble-sub capable of taking you down to visit the Titanic, a “deep-sea elevator” that can repeatedly plunge down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, and a … Continue reading Stretched-bubble luxury sub seats 9 with a tiny footprint
When it comes to alternative battery architectures that might offer improved performance, there are many exciting possibilities and one very common roadblock. Needle-like growths called dendrites form on the electrode to hamper the performance of many … Continue reading Electrode takes after layered pastry to give eco-friendly battery a boost
Long-haul aviation presents a tough challenge for decarbonization, but a group of 100 aerospace experts working on the UK government’s FlyZero project says 279-seat liquid hydrogen airliners will connect any two points on the globe with just one stop.C… Continue reading Squirrel-cheeked liquid H2 airliner will take you anywhere in two hops
By conducting “flybys” of Phobos when it wasn’t actually there, ESA’s Mars Express orbiter provided researchers with a controlled experiment to learn more about the mysterious, intermittent interaction between the Martian moon and solar winds.Continue … Continue reading “Fake flybys” move scientists closer to solving Martian moon mystery
A pair of new studies are reporting results from a landmark type 1 diabetes human clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of an implantable device containing stem cells designed to mature into insulin-secreting cells. The experimental implant wa… Continue reading “Functional cure” for type 1 diabetes passes first human trials
We all learned in elementary school science that water freezes at 0 °C (32 °F) – but it’s actually not quite that simple. New experiments from the University of Houston have shown that tiny droplets can remain liquid right down to -44 °C (-47.2 °F), if… Continue reading Soft surfaces keep water liquid well below freezing limit
