Scientists have created a new "super enzyme" that can break down plastic up to six times faster than their previous enzyme.
A team of researchers that previously re-engineered a plastic-eating enzyme has now combined it with a second enzyme to speed up the process. The super enzyme could have major implications for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is the most common thermoplastic used in single-use drinks bottles, carpets, and clothing.

In England it is compulsory to wear a mask on public transport and in stores due to COVID-19. An AI device has been invented to detect whether someone is wearing a mask and, if not, restrict entrance to a store.
A Brisbane-based company has become the first charging provider to develop technology that will allow electric car owners to access all public charging stations from any brand or provider without the need for credit cards or multiple accounts.With the introduction of their all-new 'plug and charge' technology, Tritium – an Australian-born company with more than 3000 charging points worldwide – has invented a world-first which has the potential to open up the global charging network and improve convenience for electric car owners.https://www.caradvice.com.au/851757/tritium-electric-car-charging-technology/
