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 […]

Nanomaterials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can give plants “super” abilities, reveals study
While much has been written about nanomaterials and the benefits they will give humans, not as much thought has been given to how they can benefit plants. A recent study looks to change that, exploring how nanomaterials may be able to give plants “super” abilities. The researchers, who presented their study at the American Chemical […]

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 […]

Scientists turn pumpkin seeds and peel into greener packaging that could soon replace plastic
Packaging has a major role in the protection and shelf-life extension of food products. For decades, food producers and manufacturers had used plastic-based packaging because it is cheap and accessible. But due to the alarming plastic pollution problem that continues to escalate around the globe, scientists are beginning to look into biodegradable substitutes for plastic […]

Scientists develop artificial muscles powered by glucose: Findings will be used to develop a system that’s “even closer to a biological muscle”
A recent breakthrough in engineering and robotics just might blur the line between man and machine. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have successfully developed and created artificial muscles that run on glucose and oxygen — just like their organic counterparts. According to the researchers, they wanted to develop artificial muscles, which, instead of using traditional […]

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 […]

Updating fluid-powered machines: Scientists design bizarre-looking lionfish powered by a blood-like compound
You’ve heard of robots that can run, lift, jump and crawl. Now, prepare to see one that can bleed. In a paper published in the scientific journal Nature, a joint team of researchers from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania detailed how they built a soft robotic lionfish, complete with a multi-functional circulatory system. […]
