Unexpected discovery could pave the way to more efficient biofuels and bioproducts
An ordinary yet important enzyme might be the key to unlocking even more riches out of plants. In an article on News Wise, Tennessee-based researchers announced that the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase could make it much easier to turn plants into valuable biofuels and bioproducts. Amino acids are vital for both plants and the organisms […]

Will future buildings be made from vegetables?
Eating vegetables obviously makes people stronger. A U.K. study recently demonstrated that using vegetable-derived materials in the construction of a building apparently makes the structure stronger, too, an article in Alpha Galileo stated. The fibers found in carrots, sugar beets, and other root vegetables are good for digestion and beneficial bacteria in humans. The nanoplatelets […]

Researchers create a laser that can “smell” different gases
A laser can do many things, but Australian researchers have created one that can “sniff” out the faintest of odors from the air. An article in Science Daily detailed how the modified device can match the nose of a bloodhound when it comes to identifying different gases in a single sample. The University of Adelaide […]

Engineers introduce an actuating material that radically changes the concept of motor-driven robots
The robots of the future will change out their big, bulky actuators for something more in line with organic muscles. Chinese engineers have come up with actuating materials that can change their volume depending on the signal they receive, an article on Science Direct reported. Actuators are parts that control and move an object. For […]

Sunlight triggers chemical reactions that make the Deepwater Horizon oil spill unlikely to degrade
Eight years have passed since the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010. But oil continues to persist in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A study warned that this water pollution is caused by chemical reactions in the oil due to exposure to sunlight, an article on Science News reported. The disaster was the biggest marine oil spill […]

Researchers have developed a new way to regenerate dental enamel
Dentists may soon be able to restore the enamel that our teeth have lost from constant wear and tear. In an article in Science Daily, British researchers announced a method that can regenerate hard tissues such as dental enamel. Enamel covers the outer part of our teeth. It is the toughest tissue in the human […]

NIH-funded study looks at how sharks have evolved to use electric fields to locate prey
Sharks are able to sense the faint electrical field emitted by an object. Recent research suggests that their electrosensing organ is tuned in an “all-or-nothing” manner that figures out if the object is edible – and if they think it is prey, they will immediately take a bite out of it, an article from the […]

New prototype nuclear battery packs 10x more energy than commercial chemical cells
A troika of Russian research institutes have developed a new battery that use nuclear material as its energy source. In a Phys.org article, the prototype cell can store 10 times more energy than its chemical equivalents on the commercial market. The nuclear battery use nickel-63, a radioactive isotope of nickel. Their diodes are made from high-grade diamonds. […]

The discovery of preserved organics on Mars calls for new tests targeting biosignatures, says scientist
In June 2018, the unstoppable Curiosity rover uncovered preserved organic compounds in the Gale crater of Mars. The momentous find led an interplanetary expert to argue that future missions bring experiments and instruments for identifying bio-signatures, an article in News Wise reported. “The presence of preserved organics, carbon-hydrogen containing, compounds at the Gale crater site […]

Gases from a car air freshener caused a car to explode
Just recently, an automobile blew up without warning in the U.K. – but it wasn’t because of a terrorist plot. An article in Natural Health 365 states that the car exploded due to a build-up of toxic gases from the air freshener. The vehicle was in the parking lot of a B&Q home improvement retail store […]
