New Dual-Reactor Tech Turns CO2 Into Protein for Food and Sustainability
A team of engineers in China has developed an innovative dual-reactor system that converts carbon dioxide into a high-protein product suitable for human and animal consumption. The two-stage process uses microbial electrosynthesis to turn CO2 into acetate, which is then used by bacteria to produce single-cell protein. This system promises a more su...

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)...

Vanilla-Flavoured Solution for Plastic Crisis? UK Researchers Show How Waste Can Be Converted by Bacteria
Plastic waste — that includes carry bags, soft drink or water bottles, more — may soon be converted into vanilla flavouring using genetically engineered bacteria. According to new research by scientists at the University of Edinburgh, there's a way to turn plastic waste into vanillin — the main flavour component of vanilla beans — using E. ...

Bioactive Glass Fillings To Prolong Tooth Life: Study
Bioactive glass can be used in tooth fillings to reduce the ability of bacteria to attack composite tooth fillings, and perhaps even provide some of the minerals needed to replace those lost to tooth decay, engineers from Oregon State University said.
