the ergonomic and bionic arm that grips greasy chips & brings them to your lips.
They work with communities on a wide range of issues including synthetic biology and bionic implants.
Some call this activity bionics others call it biomimetics. Whatever you call it it is big business:
Perhaps scientists say bioprinters could even enable bionic organs body parts that don't just restore but extend human ability.
In a similar manner bioengineers might one day incorporate sensors into other tissues for example creating a bionic meniscus that can monitor strain.
I'm listening to in the middle of posts about bionic kneecaps or whatever. It's not clear how
The researchers'findings are scheduled to be published in the April issue of the Journal of Bionic Engineering.
#Bionic liquids from lignin: New results pave the way for closed loop biofuel refinerieswhile the powerful solvents known as ionic liquids show great promise for liberating fermentable sugars from lignocellulose
and improving the economics of advanced biofuels an even more promising candidate is on the horizon--bionic liquids.
Researchers at the U s. Department of energy's Joint Bioenergy Institute (JBEI) have developed bionic liquids from lignin and hemicellulose two by-products of biofuel production from biorefineries.
Our concept of bionic liquids opens the door to realizing a closed-loop process for future lignocellulosic biorefineries
The JBEI researchers tested the effectiveness of their bionic liquids as a pre-treatment for biomass deconstruction on switchgrass one of the leading potential crops for making liquid transportation fuels.
After 73 hours of incubation with these new bionic liquids sugar yields were between 90-and 95-percent for glucose and between 70-and 75-percent for xylose.
and reused to make more bionic liquid says lead author Socha who is now the Director of the Center for Sustainable Energy at The bronx Community college in New york city.
The current batch of bionic liquids was made using reductive amination and phosphoric acid but Socha says the research team is now investigating the use of alternative reducing agents
Our results have established an important foundation for the further study of bionic liquids in biofuels as well as other industrial applications he says.
Bionic beesengineers from the universities of Sheffield and Sussex are planning on scanning the brains of bees
Bionic bees--or perhaps that should be"beeonic"--could, it is hoped, be used for a range of situations where tiny thinking flying machines should be more useful than current technology,
