Inspired by seashells, scientists at Sandia National Labs have engineered a versatile new material that’s incredibly inexpensive, strong, lightweight, and heat resistant. The material could find use in shielding for spacecraft or fusion facilities. Source of Article
A new study has not only highlighted how gut bacteria can influence inflammation and brain health, but demonstrated how hallmarks of aging in the brain, gut and eyes might even be reversed through fecal transplants. Source of Article
Researchers have demonstrated a new kind of non-invasive skin cancer detection tool. Preliminary tests found the technology to be 97 percent effective at detecting cancer tissue and the researchers are now working to develop a cheap handheld device. Source of Article
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. Source of Article
Scientists studying the mechanisms behind deafness have pinpointed a single gene they described as a type of master switch for cell differentiation, opening up exciting new possibilities around restoration of hearing. Source of Article
Researchers have homed in on strains of gut bacteria associated with the severity of a common form of stroke. The findings build on research suggesting future therapies targeting the microbiome could reduce a person’s risk, and aid in recovery. Source of Article
Nike looks to make shoe recycling simpler with its new ISPA Link, a glue-less sneaker that quickly separates into three pieces to presort itself for recycling. The company hopes to scale the program to make sneaker recycling a more universal concept. Source of Article
Scientists may have uncovered a new therapy for multiple sclerosis, involving an inflammation-regulating lipid. Tests in mice showed that the lipid reduced symptoms and slowed disease progression, hinting at an underlying mechanism for the condition. Source of Article
Scientists working on NASA's James Webb Telescope have reached an important milestone, completely aligning the space observatory's massive mirrors, enabling it to capture in-focus images with all onboard instruments. Source of Article
Engineers in the US and Mexico have developed a way to use soot from emissions to improve solar thermal devices. The coatings are not only cheaper to produce but more efficient than using materials like graphene, while reducing pollution. Source of Article
