Scientists at UCI say that cosmic radiation could cause astronauts on long deep space missions to develop "space brain" with symptoms of dementia. Tests indicate that exposure to high-energy particles cause marked by long-term neurological damage.

Used to make most of our disposable food and beverage containers, polyethylene is produced at a staggering volume of over 100 million metric tons each year, most of which ends up in landfills. Now researchers have devised a way to recycle this waste into usable liquid fuel.

The water within freshwater lakes is regularly turned over by storms in the winter months, distributing oxygen to the lower levels and preserving the ecosystem. But scientists warn global warming might put the brakes on this process and compromise the health of our freshwater resources.

ScienceResearch out of the University of California Riverside has unravelled another secret that helps the mantis shrimp's claw move as fast as a .22 caliber bullet but not suffer any damage.
-
ScienceScientists have developed a germ-repelling synthetic polymer inspired by the antibacterial powers of insect wings, which they say could form the basis of resilient new types of eye implants.

3D printers have opened up all kinds of possibilities when it comes to turning digital blueprints into real word objects, but might they also enable new ways to pilfer intellectual property?
-
ScienceLockheed Martin's SPIDER telescope replaces the large primary lenses with an array of tiny ones that allow the instruments to shrink by a factor of 10 to 100.
-
Scientists have developed a CRISPR/Cas9 technique that could stop entire mosquito populations from transmitting the malaria parasite to humans. This could be much more environmentally sustainable approach than the usual focus on dramatically reducing mosquito populations.
-
Researchers have created a battery incorporating the skins of portabella mushrooms. The move not only has the potential to reduce the economic and environmental cost of battery production, but may also result in batteries whose capacity increases over time.
-
A team of scientists has zeroed in on a particular signaling pathway as a potential biomarker for autism, claiming that the presence of defects in the pathway may be responsible for cognitive impairments associated with the condition.
