While catching sight of Steve Irwin’s best friend and one of nature’s most intimidating ambush predators in the wild would spark fear in anyone, the saltwater crocodile might actually be able to help us in our fight against serious infections. Source of Article
In frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease, nerve cells are attacked and killed off, leading to the fast progression of the degenerative conditions. Now, a novel breakthrough might be able to stop this process without invasive surgery. Source of Article
In September, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to test a potential planetary defense technique. To mark the publication of four scientific papers, NASA has released a video of the impact captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Source of Article
Sufferers of chronic lower back pain know there's no magic bullet when it comes to easing the often debilitating symptoms of degenerative disk disease. But new regenerative cell therapy delivered with a single injection is hoping to be just that. Source of Article
Scientists have developed a new technique that could eventually lead to new potential treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The team investigated a compound that breaks down a protein associated with the disease, with tests in mice improving symptoms. Source of Article
Denver's Keystone Tower Systems says it can cut the cost of wind energy with tech borrowed from pipemaking. It uses spiral welding techniques to roll sheet steel into huge turbine towers on-site, stronger, faster and cheaper than current techniques. Source of Article
Georgia Tech scientists have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the material’s electrical conductivity by a billion percent. Source of Article
A Russian rescue ship has successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS), allowing three stranded Russian and American astronauts to return to Earth a few months after a coolant leak disabled their own spacecraft. Source of Article
New research has found that a gene associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease also contributes to the build-up of cellular debris in the brain. The researchers say targeting this mechanism could lead to new, more effective Parkinson’s drugs. Source of Article
It sounds like a sci-fi movie scene, but scientists have successfully created electrodes in living tissue using a viscous gel of enzymes. It could signal a fresh approach to bioelectronics and, in the future, new therapies for neurological disorders. Source of Article
