Neither solidarity nor freedom for Cuba promotes Helms-Burton Act
Neither solidarity nor freedom for Cuba promotes Helms-Burton Act
Havana, Mar 11 (Prensa Latina) Although its name is the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, neither one nor the other promote the US law known as the Helms-Burton Act, which turns 25 on March 12.
The measures implemented against foreign companies and individuals for the sole fact of trading with Cuba, the lawsuits established under that law and the pressures to avoid foreign investment in Cuba, confirm its aggressive and extraterritorial nature.
Signed in 1996 by US President William Clinton (1993-2001), the Helms-Burton Act has been, since its inception, a brutal and illegal mechanism that tries to suffocate the Cuban economy and damages third countries in that process, as the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denounced.
Scientists Engineer New Living Materials by Hacking The Basis of Kombucha
12 JANUARY 2021
Scientists have created new kinds of living materials by tweaking the base ingredients of kombucha – the popular tea drink fermented with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (aka SCOBY).
This kind of tea fungus – sometimes called kombucha mother – can do a lot more than just produce sour-tasting beverages, it seems.
By modifying the mixture of the culture, researchers were able to make engineered living materials (ELMs) that could one day have all sorts of practical applications, such as sensing light or detecting contaminants.
Better still, the scientists say these living materials can easily be made at home, much like tending a sourdough starter in your kitchen.
