Italians scientists have developed a new artificial bone made from wood should be an improvement over the plastic and metal that are now used for implants. Derived from organic material, the new bone substitute will promote faster healing. tags Artificial Bone Wood ItaliansTo create the bone substitute, the scientists start with a block of wood — red oak, rattan and sipo work best — and heat it until all that remains is pure carbon, which is basically charcoal. picked by Bingo 4 months ago |

Arboform is a non-toxic alternative for plastics. It is made of lignin. Paper industry separates wood into three basic components – lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. Lignin is not used for the production of paper. Some other uses and further information about lignin can be found here. picked by SkandarGraun 10 months ago 0 comments edit related share science |

Plastic is, of course, made from petroleum. This creates the obvious problem. Wood, on the other hand is a renewable resource with zero pollution. Lingin is the 2nd most abundant organic polymer that exists. It is a byproduct of paper making. German companies have managed to make a bio-plastic with this as a base. picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago 5 comments edit related share plime.com |

Jülich scientists have made an important step on the long road to artificially imitating photosynthesis. They were able to synthesise a stable inorganic metal oxide cluster, which enables the fast and effective oxidation of water to oxygen. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share science |

For years scientists have tried to build an electronic tongue, a robotic tasting device that could have profound applications in improving food quality and safety. But before machines learn to taste their food, they first need to learn how to chew it. Scientists report the design of an artificial mouth that mimics the first vital steps of human digestion -- chewing, saliva release and the initial ... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 2 comments edit related share science |

Artificial wombs and experiments on human embryos grown in the lab will be commonplace and no big deal ethically in 30 years, several scientists predict. They envision a scenario just like test-tube babies, which shocked us 30 years ago but now are fairly routine and acceptable to most people. picked by deEPCHIll 1 year ago 2 comments edit related share science |

The purpose of the A-PRIZE is to put development of artificial life forms in the open where it should be. Today, many efforts at developing artificial life are not well publicized. The A-PRIZE will serve as a clearing house for information about the race to "Break the Carbon Barrier". With mega-universities and companies racing to create nonbiological life, now is the time for such a cle... read full post picked by michelleroberts 3 years ago 4 comments edit related share plime.com |
