Cryo-microscopy reveals nano-sized copy machine implicated in origin of life

The picture shows an RNA polymerase ribozyme thought to be implicated in the origin of life. The ribozyme is shown frozen in ice to symbolize how it was frozen in time for imaging and how it works best under ice-cold conditions. The active site is highlighted by a yellow/red light and the proposed position of the template-product helix is shown in transparent. Image credit: Rune Kidmose.

RNA is thought to have sparked the origin of life by self-copying. Researchers from Aarhus University, Denmark, and MRC LMB Cambridge, England, have…

Researchers invent technology to recycle clothes that were previously just burned

Today, it is almost impossible to recycle clothing that is woven with mixed fibres. For example, running clothes are often made from a blend of elastane, which gives the garment stretch and adaptability, and either cotton, merino wool or nylon. New technology makes it possible to separate the fibres so they can be recycled. Photo: Colourbox.dk

The technology can separate the different fibres in clothing so they can be purified and reused. (Link to Danish news)
