Microalgae such as the diatom Odontella aurita and the green alga Tetraselmis striata are especially suitable as “biofactories” for the production of sustainable materials for 3D laser printing due to ...

An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Eva Blasco, a scientist at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM) at Heidelberg University, has successfully ...

A team of scientists have developed a method to effectively produce and extract plant-based oil from a common microalgae that, they claim, could be a ‘healthier and greener’ alternative to palm oil.

The research has been published in Advanced Materials ("Printing Green: Microalgae-Based Materials for 3D Printing with Light"). A new ink system, based on the microalgae Odontella aurita and ...
