Space travel to Mars could kill astronauts by zapping their gut bacteria

A new study published by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has thrown a major wrench into the government’s pipe dream of one day sending actual human beings to Mars. According to the study’s findings, the excessive amount of travel time that would be required to get astronauts all the way to the fourth body […]

Despite studies finding increases risk of cancer from cellphone radiation, the FDA claims they’re safe as long as you’re not a “heavy user”

A new government study presents data to suggest that mobile phone use is detrimental to humans because of all the non-ionizing radiation these devices emit. But not to worry, claims the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – we’re all apparently not using our cellphones enough for them to cause any significant harm, so keep […]

Scientists have created a new kind of radiation detector out of graphene

Graphene has a number of unique and fairly interesting properties, among which is its ability to turn heat into electricity. Now a group of researchers led by Grigory Skoblin of Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has taken this thermoelectric property and turned it into the driving force behind a new type of radiation detector. […]

Scientists propose using yeast to clean up radioactive waste sites in a safe, cost-effective and eco-friendly manner

Yeast may hold potential as a safe and cost-effective material for cleaning up large volumes of acidic radioactive liquid wastes, experts reported in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. The scientists explained that yeast contains strong properties that could withstand radiation emitted from radioactive sites, which continue to contaminate the environment following the end of the Cold War era. A team […]
