<h2>Recently, honey became a topic of controversy in Malaysia after an expert at Universiti Sains Malaysia <a href="https://says.com/my/news/usm-expert-says-90-of-honey-sold-in-malaysia-is-fake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that a staggering 90% of honey sold in the country is counterfeit</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>This raises concerns about the authenticity and quality of honey readily available to consumers.</p>
<p>However, amidst this unsettling reality, a scientific research paper from a couple of years ago offers a glimmer of hope, shedding light on the unique characteristics and potential benefits of genuine Malaysian honey.</p>
<p>The research paper used fresh Malaysian and New Zealand honey samples that were randomly obtained from several beekeepers from the respective countries. The samples were kept at room temperature until further use.</p>

<h2>Despite the adulteration concerns, Malaysia boasts a rich beekeeping tradition and diverse flora, resulting in a wide variety of honey flavours and colours</h2>

<p>The study, published in the National Library of Medicine in January 2022, titled <i><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8781004/">Metabolomic Profiling of Malaysian and New Zealand Honey Using Concatenated NMR and HRMS Datasets</a></i> employed advanced techniques to analyse the chemical composition of honey samples from Malaysia and New Zealand.</p>

<h2>1. Higher sugar and polyphenol content</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Malaysian honey was found to have a richer sugar profile, contributing to its sweetness and potentially higher energy content.</p>
<p>Additionally, it contained a higher concentration of polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants linked to various health benefits like reducing inflammation and protecting cells.</p>

<h2>2. Unique bioactive compounds</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>The study identified specific bioactive compounds present in Malaysian honey, hinting at its potential health-promoting properties. These included:</p>
<p>&#8211; <b>Gingerdiol</b>: Known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects<br />&#8211; <b>2-hexylphenol</b>&#8211;<b>O-β-D-xylopyranoside</b>: Possesses potential antibacterial and antifungal properties<br />&#8211; <b>Plastoquinone</b>: An antioxidant that may protect cells from damage<br />&#8211; <b>Tropine isovalerate, plumerinine, and 3,5-(12-phenyl-8-dodecenyl)resorcinol</b>: These compounds require further research to understand their potential benefits</p>

<h2>While the research primarily focused on comparing honeys, it also explored the anti-cancer potential of some samples</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Interestingly, Malaysian honey exhibited mild anti-cancer activity against a specific breast cancer cell line. This opens doors for future research into the potential therapeutic applications of Malaysian honey, although further studies are needed for confirmation.</p>
<p>Despite the adulteration challenges, this research highlights the unique characteristics of genuine Malaysian honey, showcasing its potential not just as a delicious sweetener but also as a source of beneficial bioactive compounds.</p>
<p> As beekeeping practices continue to evolve, research deepens, and stricter regulations are implemented, Malaysian honey can reclaim its rightful place on the global stage, bringing its distinctive flavours and potential health benefits to the world.</p>

<h2>A scientist recently discovered that you can play <i>Doom</i> on&#8230; bacteria cells?</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Lauren &#8220;Ren&#8221; Ramlan, a PhD student researcher in biotechnology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology﻿, has made waves in the gaming community with her groundbreaking achievement: she successfully programmed <i>Doom </i>to run on a display constructed from E. coli cells.</p>
<p>This remarkable feat, as reported by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/you-can-play-doom-using-gut-bacteria-but-the-framerate-is-atrocious" title="Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/you-can-play-doom-using-gut-bacteria-but-the-framerate-is-atrocious">RockPaperShotgun</a>, showcases the intersection of biology and technology in an unprecedented and innovative manner. Ramlan&#8217;s work represents a significant advancement in the field of biocomputing and highlights the endless possibilities for creative exploration in the realm of gaming and scientific research.</p>
<p>Check out <i>Doom </i>running on bacteria cells in the YouTube video below:</p>

<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>&#8220;To run <i>Doom</i>, all one needs is a screen and willpower,&#8221; wrote Ramlan in her <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SFm1dS6myqq7psBKttP7CVYN4jO66lOp7ZMA829c_hc/preview#">paper</a>. </p>
<p>&#8220;Ultimately, this begs the question of how biological systems might be engineered to host this classic millennial FPS,&#8221; she added.</p>

<h2>Here&#8217;s how gaming on germs works:</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>According to Ramlan, the key to the project&#8217;s success lies in programming E. coli cells to function as conventional pixels, capable of toggling between &#8220;on&#8221; or &#8220;off&#8221; states.</p>
<p>These cells must be able to collectively illuminate to form images, similar to a computer monitor or TV screen. To achieve this, Ramlan began by cultivating cells within a 32×48 1-bit well plate. </p>
<p>Then, she connected this makeshift screen to a controller equipped with the capability to process and interpret binary code. This controller then translates the binary instructions into commands that regulate the &#8220;addition or omission of a repressor controlling the fluorescence of the cells&#8221;.</p>
<p>Essentially, Ramlan replaced the <b>conventional light-emitting diodes found in a traditional screen with glowing bacterial cells</b>, thereby simulating a screen.</p>

<h2>Playing the game in its entirety will take approximately 600 years to finish</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Ramlan&#8217;s discovery has an interesting caveat: it requires approximately 70 minutes to fully illuminate and then another eight hours and 20 minutes to dim back to its original state. In total, this process takes around nine hours to display a single frame of the video game. Considering that the original <i>Doom</i> game runs at a maximum of 35 frames per second, it becomes apparent that playing through the entire game using Ramlan&#8217;s setup would take an incredibly long time. </p>
<p>In fact, Ramlan&#8217;s calculations estimate it would take approximately 599 years to complete the game. This staggering timeframe underscores the experimental nature of the project and the inherent challenges associated with pushing the boundaries of technology and biology in this manner.</p>

<p>Forget about bedtime stories; plants have their own way of whispering in the dark, which involves a unique exchange of gases.</p>
<p>Picture this: While you&#8217;re tucked away in bed, dreaming of adventures (or struggling with nightmares), your leafy friends in the garden are releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the night air.</p>

They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, providing us with the fresh air we breathe. But when night falls, the tables turn.</p>
<p>Plants switch to respiration mode after dark.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s their time to breathe out and release a bit of carbon dioxide.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry; your garden is not doing anything out of the ordinary. The amount of CO2 plants release is relatively small, and it&#8217;s a natural part of their metabolic rhythm.</p>

<h2>You might be wondering, does the CO2 plants release cause a lack of oxygen and pose any health risks?</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Well, that&#8217;s because the levels of carbon dioxide released by plants at night are generally not harmful to us. Outdoor air usually contains around 0.04% CO2, which is a relatively low concentration.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also essential to distinguish between carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO), the latter of which is often referred to as the &#8220;silent killer&#8221; gas. Unlike carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas produced by incomplete combustion processes.</p>
<p>Coming back to CO2, while humans and animals do exhale a more significant amount of CO2, it&#8217;s well within safe limits.</p>
<p>Indoor spaces with poor ventilation can sometimes accumulate higher levels of CO2, but the overall impact on our health is minimal when proper ventilation is maintained.</p>
