SCIENCE NEWS | Researchers in the United States have devised a building material that can multiply itself. The stuff is based on bacteria that form the hard calcium carbonate and glue sand grains together.
Concrete made from bacteria.
A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder first built a solid structure from a mixture of hydrogel and sand. This hydrogel retains moisture and nutrients, two things that the bacteria need to thrive.
The micro-organisms (cyanobacteria) went to work in this bacteria-friendly environment. They convert the nutrients into calcium carbonate, a process that is similar to the formation of shells in the ocean. Calcium carbonate is a hard material that gives a structure its strength. In this case this hard substance forms the connection between the sand grains.
LIVING MATERIAL By putting a mixture of sand, hydrogel and bacteria in molds, 'stones' were created from a new, living material (see the photo below). This exotic material can be an answer to the enormous worldwide use of concrete. Although that is a fantastic building material - strong, versatile, it will last a long time - but making cement (the powder with which you prepare concrete) is accompanied by a considerable emission of the greenhouse gas CO 2 (also read the large article ' Clean concrete ' that we had about this in 2016). Building with concrete is responsible for around 6 percent of global CO2 emissions.

SCIENCE RESEARCH | Snake Venom Evolution | Indian spectacled cobra. The name "Naja" comes from the Sanskrit Naga" and means translated "snake".
Genetic view of snake venom and the evolution of snake venom.
Genetic view of snake venom and the evolution of snake venom. Several animals use poisons to eliminate enemies or catch prey. Snakes are also among these venomous animals: over 600 species are now known to produce toxic cocktails - including the notorious Indian cobra. Can you build immunity to snake venom?
Researchers have now decoded the genetic makeup of this cobra in detail. Their results show which genes and toxins are crucial for the snake's toxicity. In the future, this could help in the development of more effective antidotes - and possibly also provide the basis for new drugs, the team reports. In the course of their evolution, some snakes have developed a deadly weapon: they produce toxins with which they kill their victims. Actually, the reptiles are not really after humans. Nevertheless, unfortunate encounters occur time and again. For example, every year around five million people are bitten by poisonous snakes - on average 100,000 of them are killed by the animals' toxin. The timely administration of an antidote can be the salvation in an emergency. However, the available means are not always equally effective and sometimes have side effects. Doctors hope that detailed insights into the genome of the poisonous reptiles will change this in the future.

Science | Experiment for kids | School teacher Dayana Robertson conducted an experiment to prove how important it is to wash hands before eating. Robertson decided to experiment with pieces of bread and asked her students to touch them.
Bread experiment" will help to teach children to wash their hands
About the experiment was told by the scientific publication ScienceAlert , citing a post by a teacher named Dyna Robertson on Facebook . Its essence was that the teachers took a loaf of bread and cut it into slices. With one piece of bread, they rubbed the keyboards of all the computers in the school classroom, which dozens of unwashed hands touch daily. The second slice was not touched by anyone, the third was taken in dirty hands, and the fourth was taken by a student who had previously washed his hands with soap and water. The fifth piece went to a student who treated his hands with a disinfectant. All slices of bread were then put in sealed bags.
SPACE NEWS | The latest American Starliner launched to the ISS will not be able to dock to the station and will be returned to Earth, NASA reported.
Starliner spaceship will not be able to dock with the ISS and will return to Earth.
The latest American Starliner launched to the ISS will not be able to dock to the station and will be returned to Earth, NASA reported.
The launch of the latest ship was carried out today using the Atlas V launch vehicle from the launch site at Cape Canaveral (Florida). However, after separation from the upper stage, a problem arose with the time calculation system. As a result, Starliner entered an abnormal orbit , which consumed too much fuel. This made the planned docking with the ISS impossible.
According to the head of NASA, Jim Bridenstine, it is planned that the ship will return to Earth in two days, reports "Interfax" .
The Boeing CST-100 Starliner is a reusable passenger spacecraft. The first flight takes place without a crew. On board the device is only the Rosie-Rocketeer test dummy , equipped with sensors for measuring overloads.
The Starliner landing capsule lands on land, unlike previous American descent vehicles splashed into the ocean. If the unmanned flight is successful, the first manned flight may take place as early as 2020.

The new American ships, Starliner and Dragon 2, will most likely not be certified for manned flights until the summer of 2020, according to a report by NASA Chief Inspector Paul Martin posted on the agency’s website.
"The certification of new ships of both contractors is likely to be delayed until at least the summer of 2020," the report said.
Boeing's Starliner will launch on Atlas V, and Dragon 2 on Falcon 9. According to the report, NASA expects 48 astronauts to visit the ISS by 2024.
After the completion of the Space Shuttle program in 2011, the USA lost the possibility of independent manned flights and depend on Russia in them. Since 2014, private companies SpaceX and Boeing have been building manned ships under a contract with NASA, but the timing of their commissioning is still not clear. Now NASA is thinking about buying seats on Soyuz from Russia in 2020.
Gaming | Borderlands 3 loot glitch | While Christmas is actually celebrated in Borderlands 3 , Reddit user “Jimmy2times13” experienced a nasty surprise.
Glitch makes Borderlands 3 fan lose his complete loot
How the community helped the player: Under the original post, many other Borderlands players responded to Jimmy's problem. They asked about his PSN contact and offered to send him some weapons. FL4K players who pursued a similar build to Jimmy were also there and offered the right weapons.
A little later the second post of the player followed: "Guys, thank you very much! I had nothing left in the inventory and in the bank and now I have literally hundreds of items that I can go through - thanks to your generosity, "said Jimmy, who will probably not leave the game behind:" I will not forget who helped me and soon start farming for all of you. You are great!"
Now Jimmy2times13 announced how he wants to give something back to the community: “I would never have expected such support. I got back almost everything that I farmed for months from strangers I never met and with whom I had never spoken or played. ”
They are the reason why he doesn't give up Borderlands 3 after all: "I'm farming now for you! I will post a letter every day that I am online and ask what you need. ”So he basically wants to repay his“ debts ”.
Now he can start calmly in the DLC. The farming should then go on - after all, the Handsome Jackpot has a lot to offer:
