Every cup of coffee leaves behind a hidden reservoir of energy. Damp coffee grounds discarded after brewing still contain valuable oils that can be converted into biodiesel, while their carbohydrates and other compounds could be used to produce renewable fuels, bioplastics, and industrial chemicals. Researchers at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) have now identified a […]
Scientists Find a Smarter Way To Turn Used Coffee Grounds Into Clean Fuel

Did Cellular Life Begin Twice? New Study Points to Two Independent Origins
Early metabolism may have begun as a mix of metal and enzyme catalysis before bacteria and archaea independently evolved into free-living cells. Four billion years ago, the chemistry that eventually became life may have been unfolding around hydrothermal vents, where naturally occurring metals helped drive reactions before cells possessed the full machinery they use today. […]
85% of Atypical Alzheimer’s Patients May Not Qualify for Treatment
Current treatment criteria may exclude many people with atypical Alzheimer’s disease even when they remain in relatively early stages. For some people with Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss is not the first warning sign. Problems with vision, language, planning, or movement can appear earlier, and new research suggests that these less typical symptoms may prevent many […]

A Cannabis-Based Drug Dramatically Reduced PTSD Nightmares
A new approach to treating severe sleep disorders. For many people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), going to sleep can mean reliving a traumatic experience with frightening intensity. These recurring nightmares can cause severe sleep loss and even create fear of going to bed, while existing medications often provide limited relief. Researchers at Charité – […]
Never-Before-Seen Vortices Are Swirling Across the Sun
The world’s largest solar telescope and advanced computer simulations revealed vortices that are reshaping our understanding of the Sun. Across the Sun’s visible surface, hot plasma is constantly rising, cooling, and sinking. At the edges of these churning regions, researchers have now resolved tiny swirling structures that may help explain how the Sun twists, stores, […]
