A large new study has found that healthy older adults taking a long-term low dose of aspirin may be at increased risk of developing anemia. The researchers say their findings suggest that these patients may need regular monitoring.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Low-dose aspirin may increase anemia risk in healthy older adults
Engineers at EPFL have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water. The system is not only highly efficient at producing hydrogen, it also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat to put them to use t… Continue reading Solar dish reactor produces hydrogen and captures waste products

Respiratory ailments such as COVID-19 hamper the body’s ability to draw oxygen from the lungs, which is why patients’ blood oxygen levels often need to be checked. New research now suggests that people could track those levels at home, using their smar… Continue reading Home-use smartphone app could let users check blood oxygen levels
If humans are to one day survive and thrive on Mars, ready access to breathable oxygen will be a necessity, and an interesting technology is beginning to show exciting promise on this front. MIT’s Moxie experiment was shipped to the Red Planet aboard t… Continue reading MIT’s Mars oxygen factory is now matching the output of a small tree
The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can float on water, tapping into sunlight above it and … Continue reading Floating artificial leaves produce fuels from water, air and sunlight
In what’s described as a key advancement for the development of systems to help propel humans into deep space, scientists have demonstrated a method of extracting oxygen from water in microgravity using magnets. The technology shapes as a cost-effectiv… Continue reading Chemistry breakthrough extracts oxygen from water using magnets
When treating patients for certain conditions – including COVID-19 – it’s important to monitor their blood oxygen levels. A new sub-dermal photosensitive sensor provides a new means of doing so, plus it could one day be used to measure other blood-born… Continue reading Light-sensitive “tattoo” sensor could measure substances in the blood
The Moon may look like a big dry ball, but there’s more water up there than you might expect. In a new study, scientists have shown that at least some of it could have been showered onto the lunar surface from the Earth’s atmosphere.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Water from Earth’s atmosphere may be raining onto the Moon
We’re currently in the midst of New Year’s Resolutions season, which means an abundance of spanking new treadmills and exercise bikes. And one thing becomes quickly obvious while using those …read more Continue reading Printable Portable Mask Gives You the Numbers on Your Workout
