    Forget potato chips, here come jellyfish crisps
    The jellyfish has experienced a population explosion in recent years, to the point that they sometimes have to be culled. It seems like a waste to just dump them, though. With that in mind, a scientist has developed a method of turning them into a potato chip-like food.​
  • The team hopes the newly developed material could be used in a small device for the detection of explosives

    Bomb-detecting material lights up in the presence of explosives
    Scientists have developed a fluorescent material they claim can more reliably detect explosives in the vicinity, by being a bit more selective about when it changes color.

    Science
    Oxygen absorbing material may allow us to breathe underwater
    Scientists from the University of Southern Denmark have created a substance that is able to absorb and store oxygen in such high concentrations that just one bucketful is enough to remove all of the oxygen in a room. The stored oxygen is able to be released in a controlled manner when it is needed.

    New test could make ulcer-causing bacteria emit green light in the stomach
    Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark have published the findings of a study on a non-invasive method for early diagnosis of stomach ulcers. The method utilizes synthetic molecules that react with the bacteria which causes ulcers, producing a green light in the stomach as a result.
