Scientists Develop Injectable Biomaterial with Nanoscale Sponge Particles
In “Fantastic Voyage”, the campy 1966 science fiction movie, a team of scientists miniaturized a submarine with themselves inside and passed through the body of one of their team members in order to break up a highly dangerous blood clot. A part from ...>> view originalWill the Great Barrier Reef be gone in 35 years?
One of the world’s seven natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef contains some 900 islands and 3,000 smaller reefs. It is larger than the UK, the Netherlands and Switzerland combined, home to around 10% of the world’s marine fish, over 200 bird species and countless other animals, including turtles and dolphins. But this iconic reef system is facing unprecedented threats. Together with governments, scientists are playing a key role in the battle t..>> view originalShark Shield electrical forcefield fends off 90% of attacks
Some pretty out-there ideas have been put forward to protect swimmers from sharks lurking in busy coastal waters. These have included drones to keep watch from above, wetsuits that ruin their appetite and even controversial culling programs. Now a new study is throwing further weight behind the slightly older idea of using electrical pulses to scare off would-be predators by overstimulating their senses, with a comprehensive study finding a device called Shark Shield can deter attacks 90 percen..>> view originalArchitects say this 3D-printed house in China can withstand earthquakes
A Chinese company has just created a two-storey villa using 3-D printers, and if you're thinking that it is some flimsy dollhouse made of plastic, you might want to think again.The mansion was made by Beijing-based firm Huashang Tengda in just 45 days. Not only is it made from concrete, its architects say it is durable enough to withstand an earthquake measuring 8.0-magnitude. Now that's a claim you'll have to see to believe.What's also impressive about this 4,305 sq ft house is that it might b..>> view originalStars vacuum cosmic dust to clean universe
What Mars' unique sand dunes can tell us about its past
NASA’s Curiosity Rover found some of Mars’ sand ripples are of a type not seen on Earth. These wind-sculpted sand formations are distinctly made by Mars’ atmosphere and hold secrets about the Red Planet’s past.Martian sand ripples as recorded by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from the planet’s orbit.

A major new climate policy was announced by the UK government on June 30, almost unnoticed in the Brexit aftermath. The media’s focus on Westminster backstabbing meant the country’s latest “carbon budget”, widely heralded as unambiguously good news for the environment, hasn’t had the scrutiny it deserves. The “Fifth Carbon Budget” effectively commits the UK to reducing emissions by 57% from 1990 levels by sometime between 2028 and 2032. These budgets serve as five-year “stepping stones” towards..>> view original'Ghost fish' discovered 8200 feet under the sea in the world's deepest trench
The deepest parts of the ocean are so different to the surface that they are home to a host of unusual and mysterious creatures.
