ETH Zurich scientists use bacteria to bind sand together for construction
An ETH Zurich scientist has shown that bacteria and digital manufacturing can also be used to build free-form architectural elements. The process is seen as a promising, less energy-intensive alternative to cement. Previously, it has primarily been used to stabilise soils, moulded tiles, and in research. The research suggests that living bacteria can bond sand […]
