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 […]

A step closer to superhumans: Scientists claim that a nanoparticle injection in the eyes could give people night vision
Giving a person infrared night vision through an eye injection seems like a premise for a science fiction movie. A recent study, however, by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), shows that this may be much closer to reality. The term “night vision” is often associated with bulky goggles worn by soldiers to help them see in the […]

Ebola as MEDICINE? Protein expressed by Ebola virus enables selective targeting and elimination of brain tumors
The Ebola virus (EBOV) is notorious for causing outbreaks and a deadly disease known as a viral hemorrhagic fever. An aggressive pathogen by nature, EBOV not only infects different organs and cells, it also produces several proteins that help it evade the human body’s immune response to viruses. But researchers recently discovered a way to manipulate and put one of […]

Biomedical EVIL: Chinese scientists clone genetically modified baby monkeys to see how mental illness works
We’ve come to expect questionable behavior by the Chinese government, so it’s not surprising to learn that they had a hand in a recent project that saw monkeys being cloned and gene edited to show symptoms of mental illnesses. In the concerning experiment, Chinese scientists used CRISPR/Cas 9 technology to remove the BMAL1 gene from […]

CYBER BIOLOGY: Scientists use biological DNA to hack a computer system in world’s first biology-to-silicon hacking demonstration
In something along the lines of an early warning, researchers at the Seattle-based University of Washington claim that they can hack into a computer with a small strand of DNA. The experts presented their findings about a potential DNA malware infection experiment at last week’s 26th USENIX Security Symposium in Vancouver. The Daily Mail summarized the results of […]

Effort to promote personalized cancer treatments could also open the door to deadly bioweapons development
The search for cancer cure through cutting-edge technology and rigorous initiatives such as Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot may one day backfire and give way to a new wave of warfare using personalized bioweapons, an expert warned. John Sotos, chief medical officer at Intel, cautioned that while such a medical breakthrough may prove beneficial, the resulting output may in […]

New medical technology allows scientists to genetically alter your organs with a single touch… what could go wrong?
A new breakthrough technology has been developed that can help to heal wounds, nerves, blood vessels and even damaged organs. Known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), it turns skin cells into other cell types that can repair damaged tissues with the help of nanotechnology. A small microchip about the size of a penny is used to […]
