“The standardization of water-based propulsion is in fact a fundamental step forward to make space technologies more accessible and sustainable, also paving the way for other possible applications,” the researchers concluded.

Several developments have taken place to enhance the efficiency of space propulsion technologies. Recently, scientists tested reflective sails that use the pressure from lasers or starlight to propel spacecraft.

Besides, scientists are also investigating the concept of antimatter rocket propulsion technology to make deep space exploration viable.

Precisely controlling sparks allows for their use in a wide variety of applications.

For the first time, scientists have found that electric sparks can be guided using ultrasonic waves. A recent study by researchers from Spain, Finland, and Canada uncovered the way in which ultrasonic waves transport electricity through air.

Researchers revealed that this guidance occurs because the sparks heat up the air, which expands and lowers its density.

The hot air is then guided by ultrasonic waves into regions where the sound intensity is higher, and the next sparks follow these regions of lighter air because of its lower breakdown voltage, according to researchers.

Researchers recently discovered that eight different psychiatric conditions share a common genetic basis.

A new study has now honed in on some of those shared genetic variants to understand their properties. They found many are active for longer during brain development and potentially impact multiple stages, suggesting they could be new targets to treat multiple conditions.

“The proteins produced by these genes are also highly connected to other proteins,” explains University of North Carolina geneticist Hyejung Won. “Changes to these proteins in particular could ripple through the network, potentially causing widespread effects on the brain.”

People with pockets of fat hidden inside their muscles are at a higher risk of dying or being hospitalized from a heartattack or heart failure, regardless of their body mass index, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.

This ‘intermuscular’ fat is highly prized in beef steaks for cooking. However, little is known about this type of body fat in humans, and its impact on health. This is the first study to comprehensively investigate the effects of fatty muscles on heart disease.

The new finding adds evidence that existing measures, such as body mass index or waist circumference, are not adequate to evaluate the risk of heart disease accurately for all people.
