Astronomers have discovered strange radio signals that could be coming from unseen planets. Models suggest that some of the signals could be produced through interactions between the magnetic fields of planets and their host stars, which could represen… Continue reading Mysterious radio signals may be coming from undiscovered planets
Paleontologists have discovered the largest known flying reptile that ever took to the Australian skies. Named Thapunngaka shawi, this “fearsome dragon” sported a 7-m (23-ft) wingspan and a jaw full of awful jagged teeth.Continue ReadingCategory: Scien… Continue reading 7-meter-wide “spear-mouth” pterosaur was Australia’s largest flying reptile
As unlikely as it may seem, the venom of the deadly funnel web spider could prove a valuable source of a number of life-saving medicines, including drugs that kill skin cancer and reduce brain damage in stroke victims. Adding to these possibilities is … Continue reading Protein in deadly spider venom blocks “death signal” after heart attack

One promising possibility when it comes to treating Alzheimer’s is the idea of using non-invasive ultrasound to take out toxic brain plaques, and a group of researchers in Australia have been at the cutting edge of this technology for a number of years. The scientists’ latest investigations have uncovered some surprising new ways this technique can improve cognition in mouse models of the disease, which they believe could have wider implications for restoring cognition in the elderly.

Australian company Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced exciting performance test results for a new type of aluminum-ion battery that can charge 10X faster than today’s lithium-ion units, while lasting much longer and needing no cooling.Con… Continue reading Superfast-charging aluminum-ion batteries outpower lithium-ion
Researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) have developed a new vaccine candidate for dengue virus, a notoriously tricky pathogen to deal with. The new candidate has a number of advantages over existing treatments, with tests on mice using micron… Continue reading Dengue virus vaccine candidate shows promise in mouse tests
Although adult stegosaurs reached lengths of up to 9 m (30 ft) they still started out as small as a cat, if a recently-found footprint is anything to go by. And what’s more, they may have walked differently as babies.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, … Continue reading Fossil footprint from “cat-sized” baby stegosaur surprises scientists
