Good Idea: Self-decomposing plastics
https://newatlas.com/bacterial-spores-degradable-living-plastic/
Scientists have developed a new "living plastic" that can biodegrade when needed, thanks to embedded bacterial spores. These spores stay dormant in the plastic until exposed to certain conditions, like an enzyme or being composted, which reactivates the bacteria. Once activated, the bacteria break down the plastic quickly, unlike regular plastics that take much longer to degrade. This innovation could help reduce plastic waste more effectively, but further research is needed to understand its full environmental impact and safety.

Eco-friendly "living plastic" contains the seeds of its own destruction
When the going gets tough for certain bacteria, they form into spores that can withstand the harshest of environments. Scientists have now utilized that fact to produce "living plastic" that biodegrades – but only under specific conditions.

Digitaler Autoritarismus: Was kann die AfD mit deinen Daten anrichten?
In diesem Gastbeitrag von Verfassungsblog wird dargestellt, wie Autokraten die Datenschutzbehörden aushebeln wollen und Szenarien gezeichnet, wie die AfD in Thüringen deine Daten für ihre Zwecke missbrauchen könnte - selbst wenn sie nicht regiert.
