3D bioprinted algae can be harnessed as a sustainable source of oxygen for human cells in engineered vascularized tissues, researchers report. They embedded the bioprinted photosynthetic algae, along ...

As the Earth slowly implodes due to massive man-made destruction, the human race is rushing to find sustainable solutions to prop up this once beautiful ecosystem. Though it may be near impossible to ...

As Makers keep searching and tweaking the perfect 3D printing environment, one primary concern that pops up on a recurring basis how to make 3D printing more environmentally friendly. After all, these ...

Plastic waste is clogging landfills and strangling the earth’s waterways – but thankfully, green design is here to save the world. Dutch designers Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros have created a ...

Dutch designers Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros have developed a bioplastic made from algae, which they believe could completely replace fossil-derived plastics over time. Working at Atelier Luma in ...

Corals reefs are revered for their vibrant colors, as well as their ability to create thriving ocean communities. A key element of coral reef success is the microscopic algae living within corals’ ...

Lichens colonize trees and rocks all over the world. They are symbiotic communities between fungi and photosynthetically active green algae or cyanobacteria, in which both partners benefit from each ...

Newswise — Researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Cambridge have 3D printed coral-inspired structures that are capable of growing dense populations of microscopic ...

Researchers created 3D-printed materials with living bioluminescent algae that glow for up to 25 minutes when exposed to simple chemical solutions, no electricity needed. (Nanowerk News) Imagine a sea ...

For the first time, researchers have used 3D printers and a new bioprinting technique to print algae into tough, resilient living, photosynthetic materials. As the researchers report in the journal ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a way to “sustain” algae’s bioluminescence, potentially replacing toxic chemicals and electricity with living light. The team has ...
