MIT’s New Plant-Based Material Could Replace Plastics
5th March 2022
have created a material that “is stronger and tougher than some types of bone, and harder than typical aluminum alloys,” the university announced.
The researchers hope their compound could lead to better, more sustainable plastics in the future. Currently, the material shrinks while drying, making printing anything large out of it difficult.
So, as it turns out, it’s actually a plant-based plastic, so the headline is a lie. That’s ‘journalism’ for you.
