Moon dust concrete urged for space station study
NASA agreed to provide 40 grams of lunar dust to iL UPD A researcher at Construction Technology Laboratories tests the idea that moon dust concrete could power an orbiting space station. Lin says lunar gravel and silica enable in situ concrete production with minimal Earth transport. Demographics note and pest control worm item follow separate topics in the briefing.

Tingle from lightning sparks unusual phone noises
Area residents reported a brief tingle on their phones during last week's storms. New York Telephone engineer Jack Coyne explains that near lightning strikes can push a 48 volt current onto lines, producing a ringing tingle. He notes acoustical shock is possible but historically not injurious, as protectors burn out to ground after overload.

Rochester studies push herpes drug as flareup stopper
Two studies of 165 patients report acyclovir reducing recurrences of genital herpes. Dr. Straus and Dr. Corey found daily capsule doses cut flareups in most treated patients, though the virus remains uncured. A follow up study at University of Rochester continues toxicity and resistance tests.

Newsprint fed chickens show surprising protein yield
Canadian researchers converted waste newsprint into a protein feed for 20 roosters over three months. Using a fungus that eats sugar from cellulose, they produced a granular protein source, with 95 percent of protein ingested, though cost and acid use remain drawbacks. The work aims to reduce waste and supply animal feed, with plans to expand to pigs and cattle.
