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 […]

Archaeologists discover brain cells preserved in glassy skull from the Mt. Vesuvius eruption 2,000 years ago
Researchers from Italy have found what appears to be intact brain cells that belonged to a man scorched alive by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The cells were preserved within the man’s blackened skull, vitrified, or turned into a glass-like substance, after being exposed to extreme heat and cooling rapidly, reported the researchers in the journal PLOS […]

Physicists build “energy harvesting” circuit from graphene
A team of physicists from the University of Arkansas (U of A) has successfully developed graphene-based circuits capable of providing nearly limitless power for small devices. Described in a paper published in the journal Physical Review E, the findings prove a theory the physicists developed at the U of A three yeas ago. This theory stated that freestanding graphene […]

Archaeologists unearth Medieval poop that might hint at what a healthy gut microbiome looks like
Medieval fecal samples from Israel and Latvia could provide crucial insights into how gut diseases developed, suggests a recent study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The samples were recovered from two latrines located in the capital cities of Jerusalem and Riga, which date back to between the 14th and 15th centuries. […]

Crystal gems found in extreme igneous rocks could form within hours, study suggests
Researchers from Rice University in Texas and the University of California, Riverside have found that gems can grow within hours inside extreme igneous rocks called pegmatites, instead of the thousands of years they usually take to form. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers described how they examined sample crystals from a pegmatite mine in Southern California. Using […]

Researchers develop a rewritable paper coating that encrypts sensitive data using only WATER
Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of paper coating that allows invisible messages to be written on it with water. The messages are visible only under ultraviolet (UV) light and can be erased by heating the paper. In a paper published in the journal Matter, the researchers described how invisible messages can be printed […]

Asteroid impact triggered the “impact winter” that likely killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago – study
According to a recent study, the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago likely released an enormous amount of material into the atmosphere, leading to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and several other species. In their report, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers examined sediment […]

How do bacteria populations travel through soil layers?
Soil bacteria are important components of the ecosystem. They help improve soil structure and aggregation, as well as recycle soil nutrients and water. Soil bacteria also serve as decomposers that consume carbon compounds and provide large quantities of nitrogen to plants. Nitrogen is a major component of chlorophyll and is essential for the production of amino acids, which […]

Scientists discover protein that allows soil bacteria to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells
Bacterial cells are only about one-tenth the size of human cells. Despite being considerably smaller, bacteria have more complex respiratory mechanisms than humans. And while higher animals produce carbon dioxide when they breathe, some bacteria can generate an electric current when they “exhale.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, researchers from Yale […]

Cryopreserved avocados may be sent to outer space
Astronauts may never have to miss out on avocados during a space voyage, thanks to a group of researchers who developed a cryopreservation method for the fruit. The team froze avocado shoots in cryotubes and revived them later to be regrown into a healthy plant. After trying out different techniques and avocado varieties, they said that the series of experiments was an overall […]
