The world’s first commercial-scale factory for making nutrient-rich and versatile protein from air and sustainable energy has opened its doors in Finland, and the startup behind it aims to have its microbe-made food out in the US later this year. Solar… Continue reading Superfood protein pulled out of thin air massively scales up production
Even when it’s ground into microparticles, 97% of an algae-based plastic biodegrades in compost and water in under seven months, a new study has reported. The researchers hope their plastic will eventually replace existing petroleum-based ones, which h… Continue reading “First plastic demonstrated to not create microplastics” has been tested
Nylon can be found everywhere in modern life, from the clothes we wear to the seatbelts in our cars. The problem is that producing it can be a dirty business, but researchers say a new method can make nylon production significantly greener.Continue Rea… Continue reading Bacteria, electricity, and wood waste used to create greener nylon
Finding low-cost, sustainable building materials is important for the environment and providing access to affordable housing. Researchers have created a composite building material by replacing sand in concrete and mortar with a common, non-degradable … Continue reading Discarded diapers lay the foundation for future homes – quite literally
While we all know the importance of protecting our skin from the Sun’s damaging, cancer-causing UVA and UVB rays, traditional sunscreen application seems to range from mildly annoying to human sandpaper impersonation. And it’s terrible for waterways an… Continue reading Lean, green sunscreen could offer much more for less
Beautifully designed, energy-generating bio-panels that suck up carbon dioxide and pump out biomass for use as fuel or fertilizer – that’s the idea behind Mexican startup Greenfluidics and its nanotech-enhanced microalgae bioreactor building panels.Con… Continue reading Algae biopanel windows make power, oxygen and biomass, and suck up CO2
