Nanoparticle Cures Sepsis in Mice, Potentials for Future Treatment

The use of engineered nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NAD(H)], a molecule common to many animals, resulted in 100 percent sepsis survival in mice, creating a potential future treatment, a University of Wisconsin-Madison study has found. Researchers from the study say the NAD(H) nanoparticles also have the potential to treat many other diseases because NAD(H) is involved…

Plastic Eating Worms Show Promise for Plant-Scale Recycling

Researchers at the University of Queensland have found that a common species of worm with a taste for polystyrene may significantly contribute to plastic recycling. The team, led by Dr Chris Rinke from UQ’s School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, found that the Zophobas morio—known as ‘superworm’—enjoys munching on polystyrene and can metabolise it due to…


New Tech May Open Up the World of Gaming to Disabled Individuals

Researchers from the University of Sydney are developing a 3D printed sensor bracelet that could allow individuals living with hand impairment to easily use computers and play video games that require handheld controllers. People with cerebral palsy and motor neurone disease struggle with hand movement, preventing them from gaming or using computers. However, this new…


Research Shows Plastic Pollution on Australia’s Beaches Is Declining
