New super-enzyme “eats” plastic six times faster
Scientists have created a super-enzyme that can degrade plastic bottles up to six times faster than a previously discovered plastic-eating enzyme. The synergistic enzyme “cocktail” combines PETase and MHETase. These enzymes are produced by Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium that has evolved the ability to eat polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a strong, synthetic fiber used in creating plastic […]

Scientists use DNA “origami” to create amazing nanomachines
It might seem like a notion straight out of a science fiction movie, but nanoscale devices made from DNA are now set to open a new era in biomedical research and materials science. According to Khalid Salaita, a professor of chemistry at Emory University, this is because unlike inorganic materials, DNA – the molecule that […]

Wood and web: Scientists develop wood nanofibers that could soon replace plastic
Noted for their ability to be molded and used for different purposes, plastics are some of the world’s most versatile materials. However, they are also considered to be among the most dangerous – especially for the environment. In fact, according to previous estimates by experts, there would be more plastic than fish in the world’s […]

Another attempt at the super soldier? Researchers develop artificial muscles that can lift 1,000 times their own weight
Three different – and independent – groups of researchers have designed extremely powerful artificial muscles. They claim that the muscles can lift 1,000 times their own weight. The synthetic muscles are designed around either coiled or coiling fibers that can, much like natural muscles, stretch and contract. These artificial muscles could be used for various […]

Plant-based power: Researchers monitor remote rainforests by plugging in camera traps to PLANTS
Conservationists working at the London Zoo are busy cultivating Pete, a maidenhair fern that will hopefully be able to take photos that can help scientists monitor remote areas of rainforests all over the world. The current trial is hoping to develop a way to use plants that can generate enough electricity to power equipment used by conservationists […]

The secret to “unlimited” hair: Can this novel scientific achievement finally address hair loss?
Scientists from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) believe that they have found a way to cure baldness for good. The team of researchers figured out how to grow an “unlimited” amount of natural-looking hair all from stem cells. According to the researchers, who presented their findings to the International Society for Stem Cell […]

New research reveals a way to stop Ebola virus from replicating
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus, or simply the Ebola virus. Due to the high fatality rate associated with EVD, the Ebola virus is considered one of the scariest human pathogens today. Despite efforts to develop treatments, there is still no cure for EVD. But scientists […]

Scientists develop new insulation material inspired by polar bears
It’s a well-known fact that living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over geological time through a process called natural selection. These include unique properties such as hydrophobicity or natural waterproofing, heat retention, bioluminescence and coloration as well as unique methods of flight and locomotion. Throughout history, scientists and engineers have made it a […]

Japanese researchers discover novel enzyme from soil fungus that can be used for industrial purposes
A new enzyme has been discovered in a soil fungus previously linked to fruit rot, according to Japanese researchers. The enzyme, identified as a type of glucanase by a group of researchers from Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology and other organizations, may play an important role in soil ecosystems. According to the study, which was published in The […]
