b"Phil and Stephen discuss recent positive developments in science and technology.\\n\\n\\xa0\\nChinese Experiment Reaches Space Station in Historic First\\n\\n\\nA Chinese experiment is now on the International Space Station (ISS), having reached the orbiting lab Monday (June 5) aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft.\\n\\n____\\n\\nSuperantibiotic is 25,000 times more potent than its predecessor\\n\\n\\nThe world\\u2019s last line of defense against disease-causing bacteria just got a new warrior: vancomycin 3.0. Its predecessor\\u2014vancomycin 1.0\\u2014has been used since 1958 to combat dangerous infections like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. But as the rise of resistant bacteria has blunted its effectiveness, scientists have engineered more potent versions of the drug\\u2014vancomycin 2.0. Now, version 3.0 has a unique three-pronged approach to killing bacteria that could give doctors a powerful new weapon against drug-resistant bacteria and help researchers engineer more durable antibiotics.\\n\\n____\\n\\nIn Switzerland, a giant new machine is sucking carbon directly from the air\\n\\n\\nThe world's first commercial plant for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air opened yesterday, refueling a debate about whether the technology can truly play a significant role in removing greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.\\n\\n____\\n\\nBrit scientist could be about to CURE multiple sclerosis and provide hope for millions\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nA British scientist could have made one of the most important medical breakthroughs of recent years.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nWT 312-621"
