From Waste Comes Healthy Food

Researchers from Southern Illinois University Carbondale have managed to use engineered yeast to transform parts of discarded plastic and agricultural waste into proteins, vitamins, fats, flavorings, and other materials that could one day make waste into a food source in a resource-depleted environment.

The results were presented during the “Undergraduate and Graduate Research in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology” symposium at American Chemical Society Fall 2026, held August 23-27 at McCormick Place.

May mga bagay na sapat na ang panlabas na anyo upang katakutan. Lalo na sa pusod ng isang kagubatan, kung saan matatagpuan ang mga nilalang na wari’y babala sa bawat matang makikita.

Sa kagubatan ng Thailand matatagpuan ang isang organismong may nagliliyab na mata, madilim na katawan at tila ba sungay ang korona. Subalit hindi ito isang nilalang; ito ang bulaklak na Thismia Daemona, na ngayong taon pa lamang natin matutuklasan ang pamumukadkad.

A disease that was once so utterly feared throughout an entire continent, that caused widespread discrimination against homosexual men has now been brought to heel with the advent of medicine. It is currently being managed rather thoroughly, even if there is currently no available cure.

Researchers from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Philippine Nuclear Institute, U.P. Visayas, and the University of the Philippines Los Baños ‘Bee Program’ have developed a device called Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (hXRF) that uses x-rays to discern between authentic and adulterated honey (with artificial sugars such as C4, which comes from plants like sugarcane and corn that, when mixed with honey, increases the volume while making the product appear genuine).

Fruit of Misunderstanding

Is that truly the case or is this native fig simply misunderstood?Whether many Filipinos perceive it as toxic and unsafe to consume, the reality of Tibig could not be further from the truth.

I hear the soft whir of the turbines, and the telltale sound of water rushing to flow into those grey, monochromatic machines. A passing thought grips me, and I think, incredulously, for one fleeting moment, “If it is the pinnacle of progress, then it is an utter waste.”

FROM PLASTIC WASTE TO CLEAN ENERGY

After a discovery in South Korea, your regular plastic trash may now be used to power your local grid.

Researchers, co-led by University of California, Los Angeles Samueli School of Engineering and Korea’s Ewha Womans University, have recently used a chemical process that turns three highly used plastics into high-purity hydrogen fuel.

Banta sa Baha

Sa pagragasa ng mga nagdaang bagyo, hindi lamang baha at pagkasira ang iniwan nito, kundi panganib na maaaring sumabay sa bawat lusong. Sa likod ng maruming tubig-baha, maaaring nakatago ang leptospirosis, isang sakit na mabilis kumalat at maaaring maging banta sa buhay kapag napabayaan.

Sa ilalim ng Karagatang Pasipiko sa tabi ng bansang Costa Rica, mga 360-529 metro na lalim, may mga kolonya ng mga dilaw na koral na natagpuan gamit ang isang Remotely Operated Vehicle o ROV na SuBastian.

Ang mga koral ay lubhang kakaiba sa mga kilalang mga kamag-anak nito dahil sa iba nitong anatomiya at henetiko na binigyan nito ng mga siyentipiko na bagong pamilya na “Laurinqueidae” at genus nito na “Larinque”.

Isang karaniwang gulay mula sa ating mga bakuran ay ngayong binigyang pansin ng mga madla.
Mula sa pananaliksik ni Dr. Rajani Srinivasan at ng kaniyang mga kasamahan, natuklasan na may labis na kapangyarihan itong tanggalin ang mga mikroplastik sa ating mga tubig.
