A six-year round trip to an asteroid has yielded unprecedented insights into the formation of the solar system. Scientists have analyzed samples returned from asteroid Ryugu, finding a detailed history starting with the oldest material ever found. Source of Article
UFOs have rarely been taken seriously by the scientific community. But following a recent hearing by the United States Congress into “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs), NASA has now announced that it’s commissioning a team to investigate the mystery. Source of Article
A team of researchers has found that hungry little critters known as "superworms" have a healthy appetite for polystyrene, which they were able to trace to specific enzymes in the worms' gut bacteria that convert the plastic waste into energy. Source of Article
When it comes to the different ways of exercising the human body, walking is about as accessible as they come, and new research suggests it could be a powerful way to tackle osteoarthritis in the knees. Source of Article
We've been hearing a lot about synthetic skins made for robotic hands, which would give the devices human-like qualities. Scientists in Japan have gone a step further, by covering a robotic finger in a self-healing skin made from live human cells. Source of Article
Researchers have created a new platinum catalyst that remains liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts with gallium. This new liquid catalyst performs reactions more efficiently than a solid platinum catalyst, using far less of the metal. Source of Article
The dysfunction of microglia in the central nervous system is linked to range of diseases, prompting a wide-ranging search for drugs that can alter their activity. New research, however, suggests we might already one such drug at our disposal. Source of Article
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have identified a previously unknown mechanism of cocaine’s activity in the brain, which could open new types of treatment for addiction to the drug. Intriguingly, it seems to work differently in male and female mice. Source of Article
Much research into Alzheimer's focuses on the buildup of brain plaques as a primary cause, but the case is far from closed, particularly in the eyes of scientists at NYU who have shown how declining acidity levels in lysosomes might play key part. Source of Article
Scientists have announced an interesting new means of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas emissions, which would create a usable substance. It's a sheet of treated cotton, which converts CO2 gas into bicarbonate. Source of Article
