A new method uses a hydrogel - a polymer network that holds its shape and can expand when it takes in a large amount of water - to retain 'high-affinity', or well-fitting, aptamers while the rest of the aptamer candidates leave the gel in 60 hours.

Imagine a life form that doesn't resemble any of the organisms found on the tree of life. One that has its own unique control system, and that a doctor would want to send into your body. It sounds like a science fiction movie, but according to nanoscientists, it can - and should - happen in the future.

Rresearchers have genetically engineered two synthetic bacteria they say can help turn plastic waste into more useful chemicals. The two bacteria strains can process the common plastic polyethylene terephthalate and create terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. These two products can then be used in the production of materials used in insulators, foams, coatings, adhesives and nylon.
