• Elon Musk’s Flamethrowers Are Here, And People Are Already Doing Crazy Stuff With Them June 12, 2018
  Remember Elon Musk’s Not-A-Flamethrower – a propane-fuelled, oversized barbecue starter that looks more like a modified Nerf gun? It might have been a joke when Musk first posted about it on Instagram in January, but it got deadly serious when 20,000 people pre-ordered it. On Saturday, the first wave of 1,000 people have received their […]
• This 5-Year-Old Kid Got The Scariest Tick Bite Side-Effect We’ve Ever Heard Of June 12, 2018
  As soon as Kailyn Griffin’s feet hit the floor Wednesday morning, she collapsed in a heap. The 5-year-old kept trying to stand but fell every time. She was also struggling to speak, her mother Jessica Griffin noticed. Her daughter had been fine when the family went out to a T-ball game the night before, NBC-affiliate […]
• A Decades-Old Asthma Drug Has Reversed Brain Damage From Dementia in Mice June 12, 2018
  Scientists have used a mice model to reverse some of the most severe damage done to the brain by dementia – and they did this with a surprisingly old medication typically used for asthma. The discovery could open up the road for treatments that could restore memory and spatial impairment in people with conditions like […]
• Right Now, NASA’s Opportunity Is Battling a Potentially Deadly Martian Dust Storm June 12, 2018
  NASA has suspended science operations on its brave little Mars rover, Opportunity, as a huge dust storm rages over its location in the planet’s Perseverance Valley. First detected by NASA on June 1, the storm has worsened over the weekend, the intense dust darkening the sky over Mars and leaving Opportunity in the dark. And […]
• There Could Be a Dangerous Problem With Using CRISPR on Humans, New Research Shows June 12, 2018
  You know already about the promise for CRISPR-Cas9 – it might revolutionize fields from medicine to agriculture. It might also eventually cause tumors. That’s the takeaway from two new studies, published Monday in Nature Medicine. Both studies, one by Novartis and the other by the Karolinska Institute, focus on the gene p53, known to play […]
• A Man Was Nearly Killed by a Rattlesnake AFTER He Cut Off Its Head June 12, 2018
  A Texas man narrowly survived a venomous rattlesnake sinking its fangs into him – after he had already decapitated it with a shovel. According to local news station KIII-TV, Jennifer Sutcliffe and her husband Jeremy were working in their yard in Corpus Christi, South Texas on the weekend of May 27. While weeding, she spotted […]
• SeaWorld, Ikea And Royal Caribbean Are Joining The Corporate Fight Against Plastic Pollution June 12, 2018
  Less than two weeks after a pilot whale died off Thailand with 80 plastic bags in its stomach, three major companies — SeaWorld, Ikea and Royal Caribbean — have vowed to remove plastic straws and bags from their properties. The companies are now linked to a host of businesses, governments and others across the world […]
• Evidence for a new property of quantum matter revealed: Electrical dipole activity detected in a quantum material unlike any other tested June 12, 2018
  A theorized but never-before detected property of quantum matter has now been spotted in the lab, a team of scientists reports. The team proved that a particular quantum material can demonstrate electrical dipole fluctuations — irregular oscillations of tiny charged poles on the material — even in extremely cold conditions, in the neighborhood of minus […]
• Experiments trace interstellar dust back to solar system’s formation: Chemical studies show that dust particles originated in a low-temperature environment June 12, 2018
  Note: This press release was adapted from an original release by the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu. Experiments conducted at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) helped to confirm that samples of interplanetary particles — collected from Earth’s upper atmosphere and believed to originate from comets — contain dust […]
• Making the oxygen we breathe, a photosynthesis mechanism exposed June 12, 2018
  Arguably, the greatest fueler of life on our planet is photosynthesis, but understanding its labyrinthine chemistry, powered by sunlight, is challenging. Researchers recently illuminated some new steps inside the molecular factory that makes the oxygen we breathe. Though chlorophyll is the best-known part, for the vivid green it colors nature, many compounds work together in […]
