Webb Telescope Confirms Planet-Forming Disks Last Longer in Early Universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that planet-forming disks around stars in the early universe lasted far longer than previously believed. By studying NGC 346, a star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud, Webb observed disks surviving for 20–30 million years, challenging current models. This discovery suggests that low-metal environmen...

KAIST Researchers Increase Lithium Metal Battery Lifespan by 750 Percent with Water-Based Solution
KAIST researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to extend the lifespan of lithium metal batteries by 750%. By using an eco-friendly protective layer made of hollow nanofibres, the team was able to significantly enhance the performance of lithium anodes. This process, which uses guar gum and water, not only improves battery life but also re...

Mealworms Can Eat Plastic, But Study Shows Limited Impact on Pollution Crisis
Research published in Biology Letters has examined the ability of mealworms to break down plastics, including disposable face masks. According to the study, it takes 100 mealworms about 138 days to consume a single polypropylene mask. The findings indicate that while insects like mealworms can eat and degrade plastics, their slow consumption rate m...
