While consumers of crabs know just what the core of a crustacean has to offer, scientists are increasingly looking at the animal’s exoskeleton for novel medicine and biotechnology.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Lithium metal, Batteries, Sust… Continue reading Crabs give scientists a leg up in cheap rechargeable battery design
The production of cement is a major source of carbon emissions, so the less of it that’s used, the better. A new study could help, as it shows that cement can be made much stronger with the addition of material derived from waste shrimp shells.Continue… Continue reading Material obtained from shrimp shells makes for stronger cement
Found in crustacean shells, chitin is a natural polymer that has many uses once processed. Now, scientists have developed a fruit waste-based fermentation process for getting it out of those shells – and the technique results in better-quality chitin, … Continue reading Fruit waste used to harvest polymer from seafood waste
