When diagnosing type 2 diabetes, physicians can look for a range of typical symptoms such as frequent urination and excessive thirst. Now, researchers say the development of other illnesses in the body might need to be added in as a predictive tool.Con… Continue reading Previous illnesses might point to future diabetes risk, says study
A new study led by the University of Manchester suggests that if any alien civilizations are turning their radio telescopes toward Earth, they may be able to not only detect our mobile phone signals, but could deduce a lot about our planet and even pro… Continue reading Alien eavesdroppers may be able to map Earth using mobile phone signals
While many companies may claim that their products contain recycled (as opposed to 100% virgin) plastic, how can we know if they’re telling the truth? According to a new study, a fluorescent molecule could blow the whistle on manufacturers who are lyin… Continue reading Fluorescent molecule could verify recycled content of plastic products
Discarded electronics can be a gold mine – literally. Researchers have developed an efficient new way to use graphene to recover gold from electronic waste, without needing any other chemicals or energy.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Waste, … Continue reading Graphene efficiently recovers gold from waste electronics
Scientists have developed an efficient new way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. The technique could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cleaner way to make key products.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Chemistr… Continue reading Methane converted into methanol at room temperature – just add light
Following yet another failed clinical trial testing a novel drug designed to break up the aggregations of toxic proteins thought to be the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests we look to a different part of the brain in the hopes of finding a treatment. Led by researchers from the University of Manchester the new study found disruptions to blood vessels in the brain may be contributing to the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s.

The sludge that is created through sewage treatment processes is rich in nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen, making it an excellent source of fertilizer for agriculture. But not all that it contains is good for the environment, with a new study de… Continue reading Fertilizer turning Europe’s farms into massive reservoirs of microplastics
By casting one eye to a past where ancient buildings were held together with animal blood, and one eye to a future where humans use Martian soil for on-site construction, scientists have cooked up a new recipe for cost effective “cosmic concrete.” Grou… Continue reading “Cosmic concrete” can be made onsite from Mars soil and astronaut blood
