A particle name R-type pyocin is a protein complex released that kills and sabotages other bacteria when competing for resources. Most importantly, it leaves beneficial bugs in the gut microbiome. Researches looked into the pre-puncturing and after puncturing of the hole on the cell membrane. By studying the mechanisms of how […]
The Wyss Institute is developing methods of capturing the CoV2 particles and then using them to quickly identify them within an hour. Also, they are finding ways to use bioinspired DNA nanotechnology that will enable people to detect viral RNA and proteins in a sample that is […]
Scientists from the University of Bristol discovered that the scales on moth wings vibrate and can absorb sound frequencies bats use for echolocation. Researchers now plan to develop thin and lightweight acoustic sound absorbers for people to use.
At the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, engineers have designed a robot that mimics the motion of a salamander. The robot imitates the ambulation of the salamander with a unique vertebrate that allows the robot to slither in and out of the water. A salamander in nature can shift from a […]
A specie found in Australia name chiton Acanthopleura hirtosa, is discovered to be useful for future industrial materials due to its magnetic mineral teeth. This is shown through the quantum imaging of magnetic fields to analyze early mineralization. Through a diamond magnetic microscope, the magnetic field was measured depending on the […]
A company called Kraig Biocraft Labs has been able to develop a new fabric called Dragon Silk that is a very strong, bulletproof material. Their product takes advantage of the sturdy proteins of spider webbing in order to fortify silk that is then used to create a […]
Abstract: Homarus americanus, known as American lobster, is fully covered by its exoskeleton composed of rigid cuticles and soft membranes. These soft membranes are mainly located at the joints and abdomen to connect the rigid cuticles and greatly contribute to the agility of the lobster in swimming and preying. Herein, we […]
A study of a 3D-printed model has found that the structure of bones can be used to form sturdier objects and architectures. There are horizontal and vertical rods found in the bone that can degenerate and break. These rod-like and plate-like structures provide the stiffness and strength […]
