How to Turn a Cockroach into a Mobile, and Kind of Gross, Fuel Cell | Discoblog

Discoid cockroaches, used in this study, can be up to 3 inches long. From the digestive system that demolishes glue and toothpaste comes the first living, breathing, digesting cyborg-insect power source. Researchers have created a fuel cell that needs only sugar from the cockroach?s hemolymph (basically the cockroach version of blood) and oxygen from the air to make electric energy. The cell?s ...

More environmental rules needed for shale gas, says geophysicist

In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama praised the potential of the country's tremendous supply of natural gas buried in shale. But the "Halliburton exclusion" passed by Congress says gas companies don't have to disclose the chemicals used in fracturing fluids. That was a real mistake because it makes the public needlessly paranoid, says a geophysicist.

Key finding in stem cell self-renewal

Scientists have proposed a mechanism for the control of whether embryonic stem cells continue to proliferate and stay stem cells, or differentiate into adult cells like brain, liver or skin. The work has implications in two areas. In cancer treatment, it is desirable to inhibit cell proliferation.
