Innovators explore solar wind impact on moon
From Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., Ltd 25/10/23 As the nearest celestial body to Earth, Moon’s space environment is distinctive to Earth’s mainly because of lack of a significant atmosphere/ionosphere and a global magnetic field. From a global perspective, solar wind can bombard its surface, and the solar wind materials cumulated in the soil […]
Pingpong balls score big as sound absorbers
From American Institute of Physics 25/10/23 Long-term exposure to low-frequency noise can cause numerous health problems, but the solution may be found in an unexpected object, a pingpong ball. Conventionally thought of as the hollow plastic balls that speed through the air during a fast-tempo game of table tennis, with a few modifications, pingpong balls […]

Vacuum cleaner-effect in fungi can hold nanoplastics at bay
From Lund University 24/10/23 Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to “clean up” their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a […]
A better ‘map’ of the lights you see when you close your eyes can improve ‘bionic eye’ outcomes
From Monash University 24/10/23 Researchers at Monash University have identified a new way of mapping ‘phosphenes’ – the visual perception of the bright flashes we see when no light is entering the eye – to improve the outcome of surgery for patients receiving a cortical visual prosthesis (‘bionic eye’). Cortical visual prostheses are devices implanted […]
How video games could unlock new treatments for Parkinson’s
From University of California – Riverside 19/10/23 A$5 million NIH grant is adding an ‘extra life’ to Parkinson’s research, with patients playing video games during brain surgery to help researchers understand better how the brain regulates movement. Vasileios Christopoulos, assistant professor of bioengineering at UC Riverside, is leading the five-year project whose goal is to […]
Eco-friendly bamboo has mainstream construction potential after researchers make break through
From University of Bristol 23/10/23 Scientists at the University of Bristol have successfully used screws as connectors in bamboo without splitting the material. The study, recently published in the journal Construction and Building Materials, proposes a safe yet efficient prediction model for a simple connection method for bamboo, which is commonly used in wooden structures.

Sweet Victory: Sensor detects adulteration in honey
From American Institute of Physics 22/10/23 Adulteration is a bitter truth in the sweet world of honey. As consumers seek nature’s nectar for its purity and health benefits, a shadowy industry taints this golden elixir with hidden additives, most commonly water. Standard detection methods of honey adulteration are expensive, and either have complicated operation methods […]
