A new method for recovering high-purity gold from discarded electronics is paying back US$50 for every dollar spent, according to researchers – who found the key gold-filtering substance in cheesemaking, of all places.Continue ReadingCategory: Material… Continue reading Pulling gold out of e-waste suddenly becomes super-profitable
A gel of tiny keratin spheres has been found to promote hair follicle growth. Given that our bodies naturally produce keratin, the research highlights the potential application of using keratin microspheres as a safe and effective hair-growth treatment… Continue reading Hair-loss breakthrough found in keratin microspheres
After successful pilot programs, UCLA has partnered with Singapore’s national water agency and others to build the world’s largest ocean-based carbon dioxide removal plant capable of removing 3,650 metric tons (8,046,873 lb) of the greenhouse gas per y… Continue reading Seawater plant will capture 10 tons of CO2 and make 300 kg of H2 per day
By silencing the gene responsible for regulating ‘bad’ cholesterol without altering the primary DNA sequence, researchers have shown that it’s possible to use epigenetic editing to treat diseases rather than conventional DNA-breaking gene editing techn… Continue reading ‘Bad’ cholesterol gene silenced without altering the DNA sequence
