A new enzyme—dubbed the “Pac‑Man enzyme”—has been identified that enables bacteria to break down plastic materials that normally persist for decades. The discovery, reported on Oct. 16, 2026, shows the enzyme can rapidly degrade several biodegradable plastics in…
Continue reading Scientists Discover Plastic‑Eating “Pac‑Man” Enzyme Offering Hope for Pollution ControlResearchers have shown that nanometer‑scale steps—just a single atom high—can act as a one‑way track for quantum vortices in superconducting materials. By guiding these vortices, the team achieved motion that is over 1,000 times faster in one direction,…
Continue reading Quantum‑Scale “Atomic Steps” Direct Superconducting Vortices, Paving Way for Ultra‑Efficient Power DevicesResearchers have identified a novel enzyme, nicknamed the “Pac‑Man enzyme,” that enables certain bacteria to break down common plastic polymers. The discovery, reported in October 2026, highlights a natural biochemical pathway that could be harnessed for large‑scale plastic…
Continue reading New “Pac‑Man” Enzyme Offers Hope for Plastic Pollution SolutionA study published on October 18, 2026 reported that high dietary salt not only raises blood pressure but also impairs memory and social interactions. Japanese scientists identified a soy‑derived molecule, LPC70, that counteracts these brain‑damaging effects. The researchers demonstrated that…
