Mussels, Silkworms Team Up Against Bleeding and Infections

Science /

In the near future, mussels and silkworms could indirectly contribute to saving lives. Researchers have harnessed proteins from these creatures to create an internal wound dressing that halts bleeding and protects against infections. Typically, to stop bleeding from open wounds on internal organs or tissues, surgeons insert gauze sponges around them. However, since these sponges […]

See Speedy Fish Change Color Before Attacking

1 Comment / Biology, Science, Zoology /

Marlins and sailfish are big predators in the sea and among the fastest swimmers. They sometimes hunt in groups, taking turns to catch sardines from a bunch. Now, scientists using new drone tech found something interesting about how they coordinate attacks without hurting each other. It’s all about their color. The striped marlin can change

Toyota’s Soft Humanoid Grasps Objects with Entire Body

Robotics, Science /

The majority of humanoid robots typically use their hands to pick up objects, but this method doesn’t mimic human behavior accurately, especially when dealing with bulky items. Humans utilize not only their hands but also their chests, hips, and arms in such situations. Toyota’s innovative soft robot is designed with this human-like functionality in mind.

Identifying Chronic Sinusitis Apart from Allergies

Epidemiology, Healthcare /

A recent study suggests that individuals experiencing prolonged allergy symptoms may actually be dealing with chronic sinusitis, necessitating a distinct treatment approach. In an effort to aid individuals in addressing this condition, researchers have outlined a set of indicators to monitor closely. Countless individuals endure allergies, commonly referred to as hay fever or allergic rhinitis

Implications of Cloud Study for Climate Engineering

Climatology, Earth Science, Science /

A recent study discovered that certain types of clouds vanish during solar eclipses, shedding light on why it happens. This finding might affect efforts to control the climate. During solar eclipses, people have noticed that regular cumulus clouds over land disappear quickly. The lead author of the study, Victor Trees, explained that although we can

Self-Fueling Synthetic Protein Motor “Mows”

1 Comment / Applied Science, Biology, Medicine, Molecular Biology, Science /

The body uses tiny machines made of proteins to do important jobs. These machines help with things like cell division and moving around inside cells. Now, scientists made their own version called ‘The Lawnmower.’ It works like the natural machines moving itself using the energy it gets from cutting through proteins. This could lead to

90% of US Tattoo Inks have Undisclosed Ingredients

Healthcare, Medicine /

Researchers examining tattoo inks from both prominent and lesser-known American manufacturers have discovered that 90% of them contain undisclosed ingredients, some of which have known health implications. These findings underscore the necessity for stricter manufacturing regulations concerning tattoo inks. However, tattoos serve as expressions of self, rebellion, familial connections, cultural traditions, and sometimes even spontaneous

New Iridescent Bee Species Island-Hopping in Polynesia

Biology, Ecology, Science, Zoology /

Back in the 1930s, a scientist named Elwood Zimmerman found three very small, pretty bees on tahetahe flowers in Polynesia. People were amazed because these bees were so far away from other bees, like in Hawai’i and Australia. After almost 60 years, scientists finally figured out how these bees got there, using long-handled nets. Those
