In a new study, researchers have accidentally discovered that an existing cancer drug shows promise in slowing the progress of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, by changing the type of muscle fibers to be more resilient. Source of Article
The global oil industry wastefully burns off about as much natural gas as is used by all of Central and South America – but a new methane binding agent offers a potential way for this greenhouse gas to be converted economically into liquid fuels. Source of Article
The sight of a mouthwatering dish can certainly be enough to send our senses into overdrive, and a new study has demonstrated how the mechanisms behind this may play an important role in type 2 diabetes. Source of Article
Scientists have developed an efficient new way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. The technique could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cleaner way to make key products. Source of Article
Scientists have come up with a novel cleanup solution for microplastic pollution that takes its cues from nature, in the form of a fish-like robot that can move through the water and soak up small plastic fragments as it goes. Source of Article
Scientists probing the intricate machinery behind hair growth have uncovered a previously unknown role for a signaling molecule, whose messages were found to be critical to new growth and could be leveraged to address hair loss in humans. Source of Article
As effective as fossil fuels may be, their impact on the planet cannot be overstated. Now researchers at Berkeley Lab have coaxed bacteria into directly producing a new biofuel with an energy density significantly higher than jet fuel. Source of Article
When NASA's high-altitude balloon lifts off from Antarctica in December 2023 at the start of its up to four week voyage over the South Pole, it will carry one of the largest mirrors ever to fly on such a high-tech gas bag. Source of Article
There’s still room for improvement for solar cells. Stanford engineers have now developed pyramid-shaped lenses that focus sunlight from any angle onto a solar cell, keeping it collecting power from sunrise to sunset. Source of Article
