| Making batteries with portabella mushrooms Posted: 29 Sep 2015 11:25 AM PDT Can portabella mushrooms stop cell phone batteries from degrading over time? Researchers think so. They have created a new type of lithium-ion battery anode using portabella mushrooms, which are inexpensive, environmentally friendly and easy to produce. |
| Nanomachines: Pirouetting in the spotlight Posted: 29 Sep 2015 11:25 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new class of molecular motors that rotate unidirectionally at speeds of up to 1 kHz when exposed to sunlight at room temperature. This unique combination of features opens up novel applications in nano-engineering. |
| Bacteria in ancient flea may be ancestor of the Black Death Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:25 PM PDT A 20-million-year-old flea, entombed in amber with tiny bacteria attached to it, provides what researchers believe may be the oldest evidence on Earth of a dreaded and historic killer -- an ancient strain of the bubonic plague. |
