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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Scientists identify 24 exoplanets that may be more habitable than Earth
Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have uncovered two dozen exoplanets that may be better at supporting life than Earth. Exoplanets, celestial bodies that orbit a star other than the sun, are found everywhere in the cosmos. Some of them are located in the orbital region around a star, called the liquid water habitable zone, where planets could have stable atmospheres […]

Researchers unveil new device that filters, zaps coronavirus
Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have unveiled a new air filter that could help fight the coronavirus pandemic. As detailed in an article published in the journal Materials Today Physics, the “catch and kill” device successfully killed 99.8 percent of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 — the Wuhan coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 — in a single pass through its filter. […]

Researchers develop algorithm that will allow robots to work together with humans … or hunt us like prey
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a novel algorithm that allows robots to better predict where humans are headed. This tool can pave the way for robots working in a structured work setting, such as in factories. Improved algorithm boosts performance The researchers collaborated with automobile manufacturer BMW to test ways in which humans […]

Researchers examine how pink sea urchins sharpen their teeth to develop self-sharpening tools
Aside from their fearsome array of spines, sea urchins have another evolutionary edge over other sea creatures: self-sharpening teeth. According to researchers from Northwestern University, the spiny invertebrates, unlike other animals whose teeth are built to resist constant wear and tear, have teeth engineered to chip and weather in such a way that they maintain their sharp […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]
