When we think of camouflage, it’s usually a visual pattern. But how do you hide from a predator that uses sound to find food, like a bat? If you’re a firefly, it turns out you might resort to a cacophony of ultrasound that acts like “musical armor.” Source of Article
Although Ceriporia lacerata fungus causes tree wood to rot, it also has a good side. According to a new study, adding the fungus to agricultural soil allows tomatoes to be grown using much less fertilizer. Source of Article
Scientists in Spain have made a promising breakthrough in the field of regenerative medicine, developing a hydrogel that releases the chemical boron at the site of an injury to dramatically accelerate the formation of new muscle fibers. Source of Article
Scientists at Boston College have developed a new process for producing lab-grown meat that is greener than most, using the veiny skeleton of spinal leaves to support the growth of bovine animal protein for the first time. Source of Article
Using advanced infrared imaging technology aboard an Earth-orbiting satellite, scientists have measured the coldest temperature of a storm cloud on record, owing to an overshooting top that penetrated the stratosphere. Source of Article
It may be a bit gross, but mucus plays a key role in our bodies. Now, an MIT team has managed to create an artificial version of the stuff, and shown that it’s an effective antimicrobial – even more so than real mucus. Source of Article
Researchers at the Burnet Institute have examined the potential to attack malaria infection before it gets to the liver – as soon as it enters the bloodstream from a mosquito bite – and they've identified an important mechanism for vaccines to target. Source of Article
Scientists have created a synthetic single-celled organism that can divide and grow like a regular living cell. This breakthrough could lead to designer cells that can produce useful chemicals on demand or treat disease from inside the body. Source of Article
Scientists have come up with a new tool to study the way cancerous cells can hide away in body tissues and spring back into action once the danger appears to have passed, with a new hydrogel that turns different cancer cells into cancer stem cells. Source of Article
If you were worried about asteroid 99942 Apophis hitting the Earth in 2068, you can relax for at least another century. A new survey has confirmed that the probability of it colliding with us then is too low for it to be regarded as a threat. Source of Article
