Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveal a unique approach to alternative construction materials that draws inspiration from mother nature.
Traditionally, cement-based building materials have been the cornerstone of the construction industry. However, the massive energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with cement production have raised concerns about their sustainability.
Drawing inspiration from the sandcastle worms, the research team discovered a remarkable solution. These unassuming marine organisms construct intricate, honeycombed, reef-like structures by binding sand grains together. The process was achieved under low temperature and atmospheric pressure, making it both sustainable and energy-efficient.As the construction industry grapples with the urgent need for low-carbon solutions, these sandcastle-inspired materials could be the key to reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions significantly while offering superior mechanical performance.

Researchers invent a new metallization method of modified tannic acid photoresist patterningThe micro/nano metal pattern formation is a key step in the assembly of various devices. However, ex situ approaches of metal patterning limited their industrial applications due to the poor stability and dispersion of metal nanoparticles. The in situ electroless deposition after lithography patterning may be a better choice for avoiding the growth and aggregation of metal particles in the polymers.
