An international research team has won the 2026 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering the unusual energy-rich proteins in cockroach milk crystals.
Dog faeces, usually viewed as an unpleasant urban waste problem, could have another use — as a potential source of renewable energy. Researchers have found that canine waste can produce biogas through anaerobic digestion, with methane emerging as the main energy-rich fuel. The study, published in the Biochemical Engineering Journal, examined different methods of processing […]
NASA-backed research suggests some Earth microbes could remain dormant in the Moon’s shadow, raising concerns about contamination.
A question that began over dinner at a gaming convention has taken nearly 15 years to answer. Mathematician Eric Harshbarger and his colleagues have developed a set of dice designed to fairly determine who goes first in a five-player board game, while guaranteeing that nobody ties. The unusual problem highlights how even a seemingly simple […]
