Magnets propel scientists towards more efficient oxygen production in space
Since sending the first human into space in the 1960s, the solution to one key challenge has remained elusive: the efficient and reliable production of oxygen in space. On the International Space Station this problem is addressed by heavy and energy-intensive systems that are not ideal for long-duration space missions.

Your morning coffee really does make you happier
Researchers from the University of Warwick and Bielefeld University in Germany have tracked the mood of more than two hundred young adults for up to four weeks each. The young people involved received prompts on their phones seven times a day, asking whether they had recently consumed caffeine and how they felt at that moment.
They found that caffeine-drinkers regularly report a better mood after a cup of coffee or tea in the first 2.5 hours of the day as compared to later in the day. This finding, published in Nature Scientific Reports, was discovered from 28,000 mood reports collected across the four-week period.
