Scientists have developed a novel way to recycle toxic waste — extracting gold from old electronics using a byproduct of a staple cuisine in many cultures. Researchers at Switzerland's ETH Zurich announced in a press release that they used "denatured" whey proteins (the watery portion of cheese that separates from curds) to create a sponge to recover gold ions from e-waste.

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a rubbery goo, the material is actually a complex network of molecular components, which work together to mimic cartilage’s natural environment in the body.
