3D Printed Living Materials: A Solution for Carbon Dioxide Absorption in Construction
Scientists are combining traditional materials with bacteria, algae, and fungi to create bio-materials that can acquire practical properties through microbial metabolism. “For example, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis,” says Mark Tibbitt, a professor of macromolecular engineering at ETH Zurich. Currently, the interdisciplinary team led by Tibbitt has turned this … Read more
