Coffee Grounds and Mushroom Spores Can Be 3D Printed Into a Compostable Plastic Alternative, Researchers Say

Coffee Grounds and Mushroom Spores Can Be 3D Printed Into a Compostable Plastic Alternative, Researchers Say

In a new study, researchers have made a promising discovery: a compostable material that can serve as an alternative to plastic. The material is made from a combination of used coffee grounds and spores from Reishi mushrooms that are made into a paste, then 3D printed. The idea started when Danli Luo, corresponding author of […]

Gap Between Water Supply and Demand to Widen as Climate Warms: Study

Gap Between Water Supply and Demand to Widen as Climate Warms: Study

Stronger water management efforts will be essential to overcoming the gap between supply and demand as the planet continues to warm, according to a new analysis by Lorenzo Rosa, principal investigator at Carnegie Science, and Matteo Sangiorgio, a researcher at the Polytechnic University of Milan. For the study, the pair of researchers quantified issues of […]
