A diet with high fat content and minimal amount of carbohydrates showed effectiveness in treating heart failure. In mouse, the change of diet gave rather quick results – the disease development was reversed after three weeks. Now scientists want to evaluate the approach for a person. Researchers from the University of St. Louis have demonstrated […]

Russian scientists have created a unique method to understand how oncolytic viruses pointly destroy cancer cells. TASS informs about it. Kateryna Parkhomchuk, a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Radio Carbon Methods of Analysis of the University’s Faculty of Physics, told the agency that with the new method researchers can study the ability of oncolytic […]

Engineers from Bath University have shown that it is possible to capture and use the energy generated by natural reactions that occur in microorganisms in the soil. And, most importantly, it can be used on site for water purification. Details of the development are reported in Applied Energy magazine. A team of chemical and electrical […]

SpaceX Company announced the price of connection to its satellite Internet service as part of the extended beta testing phase. The cost will be $99 per month and $499 for the equipment set. Connection speed and delay while I will float in a fairly wide range and even possible short periods of lack of communication, […]

A new method of applying thin layers of atoms has appeared. It was presented by scientists from the USA, they were inspired by the device of a household humidifier. Researchers from the University of Alabama presented a new method of applying thin layers of atoms as a coating on the material at temperatures close to […]

A new study confirms the success of a tool that detects natural gas leaks. It was developed by scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The tool uses sensors and machine training to detect leak points in oil and gas fields, making sampling in an extensive gas infrastructure automatic and more accessible. The development is […]

About 100 years ago, scientists first thought about the nature of some unusual properties of light. For example, the light coming from gases when they are heated in a test tube. If you look at this light through a lens, you will notice something unusual. It’s not the spectrum in which colors smoothly transition into […]

Physicists from MIPT and Vladimir State University made graphene absorb the energy of light. This is reported by the scientific journal Laser & Photonics Reviews. The global goal of our research is to create ultra-compact devices that could turn the energy of light into so-called surface plasmon polaritons with high efficiency. On their basis, it […]

Crustacean shells and wood waste, such as branches cut from trees, usually go to landfills. However, these wastes can gain new life as food additives and medicines through a new process developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Details of the new recycling method are described in an article for Angewandte Chemie […]

Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has announced a milestone in renewable energy development. As part of a large-scale experiment, solar panels temporarily met all of the state’s electricity needs. Most of the electricity – 77% – was provided by home power plants, while the remaining 23% was provided by large solar farms, reports Electrek. “Never […]
