Preliminary results show the viral load in infected saliva was reduced viral load by 95 percent, but the research has a long way to go

Researchers have been investigating how microorganisms can be used to generate green nanostructures, such as iron nanoparticles, in a sustainable and eco-friendly process.

Though the microbial material is still in the very beginning stages of development, researchers are hopeful about future applications

This ink is alive and made entirely of microbes

A group of scientists biked around Costa Ricas tropical forests, hanging chunks of raw chicken from the trees, in April 2019. They were trying to catch a rare insect: carrion-eating bees.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has discovered “startlingly high amounts of methane in the Martian air” on Wednesday. This can be seen as a significant move for life on the Red Planet. The quantities are still tiny at 21 parts per billion, but thats three times the amount of Curiosity spotted during a surge in 2013, according to the New York Times. The source of methane, however, isnt clear.

Less energy, less water. the big benefit here is that i can recycle this along with my paper waste. and even if i didnt, it would just take several years to break down instead of thousands of years. i can also feel that the bag is stronger than paper, albeit not quite as strong as plastic. clearly, though, this wont be able to replace all kinds of plastic. but another finnish alternative does have the tough, mouldable qualities needed for cosmetics or food. its almost impossible to guess that th...

Does have the tough, mouldable qualities needed for cosmetics or food. its almost impossible to guess that these arent plastic. it is only close—up that you can see its natural origins, and that is wood combine with natural binders and dyes. so our material biodegrades almost exactly the same time period as the same thickness of wood. microbes are able to eat our material and then our material biodegrades into c02, water and biomass. ingredients can be put through existing moulding machines. t...
