BacillaFilla posted on dogo news by Meera Dolasia

After an earthquake, usually a couple of buildings are torn down to make new buildings because of cracks. It uses alot of money to destroy buildings and also gives off 5% of co2 emisions. However, a group of university students have got a genius idea when entering the International Genetically Engineered Machines contest. They created BacillaFilla, a genetically engineered form of bacteria. What the students did, was they got a commonly found soil bacteria and genetically engineered it to make it germinate (divide and divide) if they came in contact with chemicals found in broken cement. They also made germs "smarter" by making them go into the smallest of cracks by themselves. Then, they group up and start doing their jobs. One type fixes up the concrete, another reinforces it and the last one binds it up together. The team went home with gold and in the not-to-distant-future, we will probably be seeing "Fixed with BacillaFilla" on were broken buildings

Moon Missions Watery Suprise by Meera Dolasia

Water on the moon? Its true, but how much? When NASA hit the Cabena Crater on the moons south pole, water was blasted from the ground. However, other things were in the blast. These elements were hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane (smelly!), murcury, calcium, magnesium and traces of silver. Not to mention the ice! The ice by itself is 5.6% of the crater. All the elements combined are 20% of the crater! There is a question that the scientists are trying to answer: How did the elements get to the moon? Putting that aside for now, scientists are exited at the possibility of a lunar space station! Astronauts could melt the water for drinking and break up the hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel! Well now there looking at mars and...
