Bacteria can Manufacture High-Performance Proteins, like Spider Silk, for Space Missions

Bacteria can Manufacture High-Performance Proteins, like Spider Silk, for Space Missions

Researchers developed a new technique that could produce difficult-to-make proteins, like spider silk, by taking advantage of engineered bacteria. The mechanical properties of some of the natural, protein-based substances put them in the same bracket as the best synthetic materials. The research presented at the American Chemical Society (ACS) on 2nd April 2019 explained that…

Baby T-Rex could be the Cutest Floor Monster

Baby T-Rex could be the Cutest Floor Monster

Young T-Rex was much fluffier and cute than the general perception of the creature. You have probably heard about the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex), a fearsome predator with immensely strong jaws (able to crush 7800 pounds) and rather tiny arms. Most of the data we have on this dinosaur is based on pure speculation because unfortunately…

Bacteria can Eat and Breathe Electricity

Bacteria can Eat and Breathe Electricity

Researchers found some electricity-producing bacteria at the Yellowstone National Park. A researching team from Washington State University conducted a test at the famous alkaline hot springs of the Yellowstone National Park. At the time of testing, the temperature of the hot spring was actually quite HOT (around 90o C). The latest report suggested that some…

Researchers Found Signs of Life in a Lake Deep Beneath Antarctica

Researchers Found Signs of Life in a Lake Deep Beneath Antarctica

According to a news report from Nature, an ice-covered lake in Antarctica is teeming with bacterial life. The southernmost continent of our planet, Antarctica, is generally considered an inhospitable wasteland of ice and snow but recent research shows that there is much more to it than the extreme environment. The researching team found colonies of…

Bacteria inside your Gut are quite useful

Bacteroides, found inside intestines, are much more useful than you think. Bacteria is one of the earliest life forms that appeared on the face of our planet. They come in a number of shapes ranging from rods to spirals. An interesting fact about these microorganisms is that they are present virtually everywhere in this world.…

Human Race has destroyed over 80% of life despite constituting just 0.01%

Human Race has destroyed over 80% of life despite constituting just 0.01%

Humanity has brought death to most of the life on Earth even though other forms of life supersede us massively. Human activity is causing adverse impacts on our surroundings. The depletion of ozone layer is a common example in this regard. Harmful chemicals like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) are the major cause behind that and a continuous…

What happens if tomorrow an Asteroid with the size of Los Angeles hits the Earth?

What happens if tomorrow an Asteroid with the size of Los Angeles hits the Earth?

Can an Asteroid as big as LA lead to the Extinction of the Human Race? The world will vanish one day and scientists have many theories about the annihilation of the planet Earth. Astronomers seem to believe that a severe impact on earth may cause its end. Astronomically speaking thousands of asteroids have come in…

Astronauts Have Discovered An Alien Body On The International Space Station

A Russian engineer aboard the ISS announces an unprecedented event. Anton Skaplerov says he has discovered outside the ISS a bacteria that does not come from the Earth. It wasn’t there when the Space Station was launched into the orbit. Is it an alien body? The bacteria was discovered by the astronauts who took samples…

Warning! Global warming revives bacteria and viruses that have been in hibernation for thousands of years

Warning! Global warming revives bacteria and viruses that have been in hibernation for thousands of years

Exposed to light and oxygen, many dangerous viruses will be destroyed, but some will survive and infect humans and animals. Among the most resistant viruses are those of the giant species. Researchers are warning us of a new danger that the whole world avoids talking: bacteria and viruses that have been hibernating for thousands of…
