Process doubles the size of PFAS molecules, making them easy to destroy
Ask a chemist to name the strongest single bond in organic chemistry, and they'll likely say carbon-fluorine. It's that bond, repeated dozens of times over, that gives per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) their nickname: forever chemicals. Manufacturers prize PFAS for the s
Engineered yeasts help turn PET plastic and crop waste into protein-rich cookies
Plastic might be the last ingredient you would ever add to a cookie recipe. But a team of researchers is looking to change that. They've programmed yeasts to turn plastic and agricultural waste into edible proteins and flavoring molecules, creating a treat from trash. The technol
Gut bacteria may unlock a hidden benefit of vegetables
Gut bacteria can transform nitrate and plant-based iron from vegetables and other foods into protective molecules that may benefit the heart and metabolism. In experimental models, higher levels of these compounds were linked to lower blood pressure, better blood sugar control, h
High-intensity sprints can trigger molecular changes in the bloodstream
A new study finds that an all-out sprint may have unique benefits when it comes to the proteins and tiny molecules in your bloodstream.
The dynamic duo: 'Weaving' hierarchical DNA materials with two classes of biomolecular nanomachines
Biomolecular nanomachines, such as enzymes and molecular motors, are the workhorses behind the synthesis and organization of complex materials in life. Powered by chemical energy, they build, transport and organize biomolecules, allowing living systems to create and maintain high
