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 truly versatile crop: HEMP batteries can be a more powerful alternative to graphene or lithium batteries
Hemp, the non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, may soon power a smart device near you. Researchers say that not only can hemp be used to power devices, but it may also be a more powerful alternative to lithium and graphene batteries. Hemp-based nanosheet better than graphene In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, Canadian researchers […]

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 […]

Researchers develop device that can better detect signs of extraterrestrial life
A group of researchers has developed a fully automated device that could better detect signs of alien life. Astronomers have been trying to look for evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades. They typically use detection methods that look for carbon, which is an important component of organic compounds. But current technologies are limited; some devices can’t […]

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 […]

Innovative cooling system can absorb indoor heat and “shoot” it into outer space
As parts of the country experience heat waves and power outages, scientists have been hard at work looking for new, more power-efficient methods to cool buildings. Recently, a group of engineers have designed one such system that absorbs indoor heat and shoots it up to outer space, all without using any electricity. The system uses […]

Ammonia identified as a cost-effective material to store energy for fuel cells
On paper, fuel cells offer the best of both worlds. They can provide clean electric power for vehicles, without the need for long charging times that plague most EVs. The main problem with fuel cells, however, is that they use hydrogen, which is quite flammable and needs specialized infrastructure and equipment to handle. To address […]

Scientists develop method to upcycle agricultural waste by creating soap from rice straw
A common agricultural byproduct may hold the key to natural, sustainable and environmentally-safe cleaning products, a new study has revealed. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Portsmouth in partnership with India’s Amity University and the Indian Institute of Technology, looked at the possibility of using rice straw as a non-toxic alternative ingredient for soaps […]

Ant-sized robots powered by vibration can move material: One day, ant-robots may even be used to repair injuries INSIDE the body
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing the power of vibrations. The team believes that swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” could one day be used to move materials, sense environmental changes and even repair injuries inside the human body. […]

Scientists developing a new mask that traps and kills coronavirus on contact
Scientists from the University of Kentucky have received a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a medical face mask that would capture and deactivate the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) on contact. The research team, led by engineering professor Dibakar Bhattacharyya, will be working with the university’s Center of Membrane Sciences and with other collaborators to make these […]
