Scientists are designing a new living material that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air. It uses photosynthetic ...

As the global population grows, we’ll have to find ways of feeding the planet without accelerating climate change.

We have pampered our plants so much that they have lost their ability to fight against what’s trying to kill them,' said ...

Scientists have developed a new 'photosynthetic' material capable of absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere that could one day be used in buildings to combat climate change. The innovative ...

Innovative microbial technology allows for autonomous 3D printing on Mars, using Martian materials to create sustainable ...

At ETH Zurich, scientists from many different fields are working on something that seems straight out of science fiction.

The base of the new material is a 3D printable hydrogel — a gel with a high water ... "They are highly efficient at photosynthesis and can utilize even the weakest light to produce biomass from CO 2 ...

Researchers are developing bioplastic bubbles from algae that could grow, repair, and protect habitats on Mars without ...

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding ...

Learn how the living material from ETH Zurich utilizes cyanobacteria to capture CO2 and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be ...
