This patch would hold the robots in place right next to the stone for several days, allowing them to work their enzymatic magic while you go about your life. Once the stone is small enough to pass, ...

Scientists have discovered a bacterium capable of binding sand and creating a sustainable bio-cement for construction.

Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have discovered two enzymes that use a never-before-seen mechanism to confer resistance ...

In biocementation, the overall degree of cementation achieved is constrained by the successful completion of four individual, potentially rate-limiting steps: (i) adsorption of the biocatalyst urease ...

For Carbios, a French biotech firm, one man's trash is another man's classic white T-shirt. Working with clothing manufacturers like Patagonia, Puma, and Salomon, the company developed recycling ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Smart nanogels powered by enzymes move through dense tissue by adapting to local conditions, offering a safer and more effective alternative for targeted delivery in complex environments. (Nanowerk ...
