Made using a 3D printer, this is the first example of an engineered photosynthetic material that is tough enough for a t-shirt—or an artificial leaf which can absorb carbon dioxide from the air and breath out oxygen just like plants.
In a big step towards sustainable fashion, scientists create a biodegradable, carbon-capturing textile from algae
Our photosynthetic living materials are a huge step forward for the field since they are the first example of an engineered photosynthetic material that is physically robust enough to be deployed for real-world applications
