    “Rivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
    A new [Cornell] project… will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years…”

  3. Researchers successfully #engineered "intrinsically disordered proteins" into biological condensates that function as nanoscale electrochemical "battery droplets" within living cells, capable of generating voltage and driving redox reactions.

  5. Researchers successfully #engineered a chimeric version of the enzyme PikAIII-M5, a key component in #pikromycin biosynthesis, by swapping its beta-ketoreductase domain to control the stereochemistry of macrolide chains.

  7. Using precisely #engineered structures assembled from nano-size materials to deliver potent tumor-fighting medicine to the #brain through #nasal drops. The novel delivery method is less invasive than similar treatments in development and was shown in mice to effectively treat #glioblastoma by boosting the brain’s immune response.

  9. We may be at an inflection point along that path when it comes to #engineered #structures whose #mechanical properties are unlike anything seen before in nature, also known as mechanical #metamaterials.

  13. The first-ever dataset bridging #molecular information about the poplar #tree #microbiome to #ecosystem-level processes has been released. The project aims to inform research regarding how natural systems function, their vulnerability to a changing #climate, and ultimately how plants might be #engineered for better performance as sources of #bioenergy and natural carbon storage.

  15. “But the 8-hour #workday is too #profitable for big #business, not because of the amount of #work #people get done in eight hours (the average office #worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy #public. Keeping free #time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching #television, and its #commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work. We’ve been led into a #culture that has been #engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.”

  17. An international research group has #engineered a new #energy-generating device by combining #piezoelectric composites with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), a commonly used material that is both light and strong.

  19. Even those who believe the energy and economic crises are "#engineered" and that those who are alledged to orchestrate this are "evil", seem to, in the same breathe, acknowledge the need to return to a more localised and sovereign form of development that would similarly destory the globalised economy.

    Cake and eat, too?

    All roads point to thinking holistic and global while at the same enjoying and #sharing more #local.

    How long is this going to take to sink in

  20. Old article I missed, but quite interesting interview:

    #Chinese #researcher, first to create genetically #engineered #babies, speaks out for first time: «Of course I don’t have nightmares»

    The interview is word for word on what he said, clearly showing a lot of "no comment" and dodging the questions. Did he actually do prison time, or was he allowed to continue his research? #DumDumDummm

  21. #Tumor #cells won’t show their true selves in a #petri dish, isolated from other cells. Rice University researchers developed an upgraded tumor model that houses #osteosarcoma cells beside #immune cells known as #macrophages inside a three-dimensional structure #engineered to mimic #bone.

  22. The researchers #engineered the #sensor from a natural #protein called #lanmodulin, which binds rare earth #elements with high selectivity and was discovered 5 years ago by some of the Penn State researchers involved in the present study.

    #Elmo's been

    • conducting a global industrial scale #media #engineered #PsyOp since walking into Birdsite #HQ

    • metaphorically barking into microphone of a captured global radio station like a dictator

    • playing all press (especially #BigTech & mainstream #journos) like a fiddle

    • engaged in dazzle-camouflage (like an #autistic cuttlefish about to strike its prey)

    He knows exactly what he’s doing… while all #media enjoys their orgy of clicks

  24. #Skin #grafts are a vital treatment for burns and other extensive skin injuries. Since the 1980s, advances in #bioengineering have allowed researchers to grow new patches of skin in the lab. Such #engineered grafts are less traumatic for patients than #transplanting skin from elsewhere on the body.
