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 […]

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 […]

Scientists develop incredible nanoscale bioabsorbable dressing that can help address various blood loss scenarios
Bandages made of cotton and gauze remain the primary method of stopping bleeding from open wounds in traumatic injuries. Now, chemists from Texas A&M University in the U.S. and Assiut University in Egypt have developed a brand new way to stop bleeding and heal wounds with nanoscale technology, using raw materials from a familiar source. The team, […]

From chip implants to gyms: Russians push the boundaries of BIOHACKING
While our bodies provide us with many natural gifts, there are those who have turned to technology to expand their capabilities. In Russia, a growing number of people are turning to biohacking, a growing movement that sees followers “upgrading” their bodies with a mix of experimental technology and do-it-yourself health fixes. One of the movement’s leading […]

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 […]

Scary magnetic control system moves DNA-based robots in less than a second
Nanorobots are advancing at a much, much faster pace than expected. In an article published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists unveiled a new control system that improved the response time of nanorobot components from a few minutes to just under a second. Nanorobots have been of special interest among many scientists for years now, […]

Low-cost, pollution-free solution to infrastructure problem: New self-healing concrete has fungi that “heals” cracks in crumbling structures
America’s infrastructure has seen better days. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored the country a near-failing D+ in its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. D’s and C’s were given across the board, with the railway system being the only category to have scored a B. Those grades could be changing for the better in the […]
