Iphrojekthi entsha, kulokhu yathuthukiswa yi- IHarvard University School of Medicine, kuholele ekwakhiweni kohlelo oluthandekayo lapho kungenzeka khona ukuguqula i-CO2 ibe yi-3D biopolymers, okungukuthi, kungenzeka uguqule ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni dayoksayidi kube upulasitiki ongasetshenziswa yinoma iyiphi iphrinta ye-3D we planethi.
Izindaba ezinhle ngokungangabazeki zombili ngempilo yasemhlabeni nasekuhloleni okuzayo okungenziwa ngabantu esikhaleni esingaphandle, ikakhulukazi eMars, lapho umkhathi weplanethi uhlanganiswe khona kakhulu nalesi sici, manje, esingenza, ngaphandle kokungabaza,ukuthuthukiswa kwamakholoni okuqala uma sesifikile emhlabeni.
Abaphenyi baseHarvard bayakwazi ukusungula indlela lapho, ngokusebenzisa amabhaktheriya, ipulasitiki lokuphrinta kwe-3D kungadalwa kusuka ku-CO2
Ngokuya ngesitatimende esenziwe ngomunye wabaphenyi osebenze kulo msebenzi, Shannon nangle:
Iqembu likwazile ukuthola indlela yokusebenzisa ibacteria R. eutropha ukuze ikwazi ukuguqula i-CO2 ibe ngamakhemikhali asebenzisekayo e-polymeric, into engasetshenziswa kuphela emkhathini, kepha nakuMhlaba.
Amagciwane empeleni angagcwalisa amangqamuzana akho cishe ngamaphesenti angama-80 ale polymer. Akuyona into efanelekayo ukucutshungulwa kwezimboni, ngakho-ke esifuna ukukwenza ukusebenzisa amasu obunjiniyela we-metabolic ukulungisa izinto ezibonakalayo zalesi polymer ngendlela yokuthi sikwazi ukuzisebenzisela ukuphrinta kwe-3D, ukubumba umjovo neminye imishini. thayipha.
I-CO2 ingasetshenziswa kakhulu endleleni izitshalo ezisebenzisa ngayo i-CO2. Igciwane selivele lishintshiwe ukuze likhishwe emoyeni ngendlela efanayo nezitshalo.
