New method of 3D printing living soils could unlock the carbon-capturing homes of the future

Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) have developed a method of 3D printing living soils that could be used to construct future carbon-negative buildings.  Through the layer-by-layer extrusion of a novel seed-impregnated soil ‘ink,’ the UVA team’s approach enables the creation of self-supporting structures that facilitate the growth of plantlife. With further R&D, the […]
