Lab grown wood could be the future of sustainable furniture / Il legno coltivato in laboratorio potrebbe essere il futuro dell'arredamento sostenibile Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa MIT researchers have proposed a method to grow plant-based materials, like wood and fiber, and have demonstrated the concept by growing a culture of wood-like cells from zinnia leaves. / I ricercatori del MIT hanno proposto un metodo per coltivare materiali a base vegetale, come legno e fibre, e hanno dimostrato il concetto coltivando una coltura di cellule simili al legno dalle foglie di zinnia. Source: MIT Researchers from MIT have proposed a way to grow plant tissues in a lab to create lab-grown wood and fiber products, similar to lab-grown meat. This research is a possible starting point for creating wood and fiber-based that ease the environmental impacts of the forestry and agricultural industries. The tea...
