    Designers develop plant-based splash that could be utilized in N95 mask filters

    Engineers have invented a way to spray extremely thin wires made of a plant-based material that might be used in N95 mask filters, devices that harvest energy for electricity, and potentially the production of human organs. The procedure involves spraying methylcellulose, a renewable plastic material derived from plant cellulose, on 3D-printed and other objects ranging

    Scientists disentangle the cycle that makes virus irresistible

    Researchers have for the first time identified how viruses like the poliovirus and the common cold virus’package up’ their genetic code, allowing them to infect cells. The findings, published today (Friday, 8 January) in the journal PLOS Pathogens by a team from the Universities of Leeds and York, open up the possibility that medication or

    Recently recognized supplement helps the gut review earlier diseases and execute attacking bacteria

    Scientists studying the body’s natural defenses against bacterial disease have identified a nutritional supplement –taurine–that helps the gut recall prior infections and kill invading bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn). The finding, published in the journal Cell by scientists from five institutes of the National Institutes of Health, could help efforts seeking alternatives to antibiotics.

    Revelation may decrease the ecological effect of chemical manufacturing

    Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products such as pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are analyzing a previously overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon in the chemical reactions used to make these products. Combining metal and ore nanoparticles hastens many chemical reactions and helps maximize yield and profit margins for the
