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 […]

Engineers devise a system that recovers fresh water from power plants
What do you think of an electrical power plant that can also provide an inexpensive source of drinking water? Engineers have come up with a way to recover the water used to cool power plants and purify it for human consumption, an article in Science Direct stated. Nearly 40 percent of the water drawn from freshwater sources […]

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 […]

Scientists develop an extremely small and sensitive chip that can detect you by your smell
Following a disaster such as an earthquake, search-and-rescue (SAR) dogs are often brought in to locate people trapped beneath the rubble. Their life-saving efforts may soon be supported by a new detection device that can sniff out the scent of humans just as keenly as dogs can, an article in Science Daily states. Developed by […]

Scientists create an electronic nose that can smell potential hazards such as spoiled food
Your smartphone may soon be able to catch a whiff of anything nasty in the air. German researchers have created a computer chip-sized electronic nose that can learn from the scents it encounters, an article in Alpha Galileo reported. The olfactory sensor is part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)’s “smelldect” project. It can […]

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 […]
