The Data Storage of Tomorrow – Scientists Make Supramolecular Breakthrough in the development of supramolecular non volatile memristors ( scitechdaily.com )
Researchers have developed supramolecular memristors for RRAM functions, demonstrating rapid resistance switching cycles of over 1000 and and retention time exceeding 500 seconds under ambient conditions with non-volatile storage capabilities. This paves the way for advanced data storage technologies....

Genetically modified bacteria break down plastics in saltwater ( www.sciencedaily.com )
To address this challenge, the researchers worked with two species of bacteria. The first bacterium, Vibrio natriegens, thrives in saltwater and is remarkable – in part – because it reproduces very quickly. The second bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis, is remarkable because it produces enzymes that allow it to break down PET...
