Vanadium Nitrogenase: a door for the future

Vanadium Nitrogenase: a door for the future

Enzymes can “create” fuel from the air. It may seem impossible for the layman, but scientists do not rule out the hypothesis. Cars can be, one day, powered by air, through the use of bacteria. Scientists have discovered an enzyme in roots of soybean seeds that can be used as energy to move the car The Vanadium Nitrogenase can produce ammonia [...]
After medical marijuana, is medical carbon monoxide not far behind? (what’s bad can be good for you)

After medical marijuana, is medical carbon monoxide not far behind? (what’s bad can be good for you)

Toxic carbon monoxide is a poison gas that may possibly be used for medical treatment soon. Carbon monoxide, dubbed as the silent killer, has been known as a deadly toxin for more than a century now. Scientists attest to the lethal results of CO poisoning. A pioneering and preliminary new research, however, has found that ‘low-level doses of the [...]

New Discovery: bacteria that live without light or oxygen under the Antarctic ice

Discovered in an underground lake under the Taylor glacier in Antarctica is an unusual ecosystem where bacteria managed to live for millions of years without oxygen and in complete darkness at 10 º C below zero. The sea water was trapped under the glacier to form a lake that is about four miles long by 400 meters wide. It never froze due to the high [...]
