Old biological filters work better than new water treatments, according to Swedish study
An old water treatment technology called slow sand filters could be making a comeback – and the older filters would work better than both newer ones or modern filtration methods. According to Science Daily, a Swedish study suggests that the older the filter, the better it is for treating water. Slow sand filters first appeared during […]

Experts: More than 100 giant exoplanets may have potentially life-hosting moons
The search for extraterrestrial life is no longer restricted to exoplanets. New research suggests that an exomoon with the right conditions can sustain life forms. In an article on Space.com, California-based researchers reported that there are more than 100 gas giant exoplanets with at least one moon that can possibly host alien life. Earth-like exoplanets hog […]

Scientists develop an extremely small and sensitive chip that can detect you by your smell
Following a disaster such as an earthquake, search-and-rescue (SAR) dogs are often brought in to locate people trapped beneath the rubble. Their life-saving efforts may soon be supported by a new detection device that can sniff out the scent of humans just as keenly as dogs can, an article in Science Daily states. Developed by […]

Scientists transfer one snail’s memory onto another, potentially unlocking secrets of human memory transfer
American researchers reported that they implanted the memory of a sea snail into another individual snail. The technique might very well be applied to humans in the future, allowing memories to be transferred, altered, or even erased. The researchers developed the technique with Aplysia snails, which are also called sea snails, sea hares, and sea […]

Sunlight triggers chemical reactions that make the Deepwater Horizon oil spill unlikely to degrade
Eight years have passed since the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010. But oil continues to persist in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A study warned that this water pollution is caused by chemical reactions in the oil due to exposure to sunlight, an article on Science News reported. The disaster was the biggest marine oil spill […]

Adding silicate rocks to farmland could restore soil, protect against pests and disease, and capture CO2, improving global food security
The groundbreaking results of a new British-led study suggested a simple yet profoundly effective way to improve global food supplies and cut down on carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution: Farm crops with crushed silicate rocks. An international research team headed by University of Sheffield researchers have found that the addition of crushed silicate rocks brought significant advantages […]
