Scientists Convert Industrial Carbide Sludge and Urea From Mammalian Urine Into Environment-Friendly Cement
A team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a way to make biocement from trash. Biocement is a type of renewable cement that binds soil into a solid block by using bacteria to induce a hardening reaction. It has been made using industrial carbide sludge and urea (from mammalian urine)...

Bacteria With Natural Antibiotic, Antimicrobial Resistance Discovered in Antarctica
Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of 'resistance genes'. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.

ISRO, IISc Develop Bacteria-Infused 'Space Bricks' to Build Structures on Mars
Humans will require spaces to live in if they are to be sent to planets like Mars. So, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru has collaborated with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a prototype for Martian and lunar soil bricks to be used in the construction of habitats for human settlements on the Red Planet.
