Barnacle Glue Study Aims To Fix Dental Fillings
University of Utah researchers replicate barnacle cement to improve dental fillings and ship hull adhesion. Experiments test how barnacle glue withstands water, with panels submerged and moved to a micro ocean tank for high pressure, recording fracture times for durability. The work seeks stronger, water friendly bonding to replace current amalgams and reduce tooth structure stress.

Soil Organisms Remove Carbon Monoxide From Air
Scientists report soil microorganisms may remove carbon monoxide from the air. Experiments show six pounds of potting soil eliminated CO from 120 ppm gas in three hours, with 16 of 200 soil organisms identified as CO consumers. The U.S. soil could theoretically remove 500 million tons annually, more than twice world man made emissions, though urban soils may lag.
