In Illinois, a team of researchers at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) created a fast, user-friendly process to improve industrial enzymes. The researchers combined artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic biology, and a biofoundry. This combination allowed the scientists to overcome common issues with enzymes such as low efficiency and an enzyme’s inability […]
In California, a researcher team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has designed two high-throughput screening systems to test hundreds of enzymes for their ability to break down cellulose in various forms of agricultural byproducts and plant waste. The result could be used to identify the most efficient enzymes for different materials, transforming biomass into […]
In South Korea, formaldehyde is a common chemical used in various industries as a disinfectant, resin precursor, and synthetic intermediate. It is volatile, highly toxic, and a key environmental pollutant with genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, harming both human health and the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to come up with useful strategies to […]
