, the need to find environmentally friendly alternatives that are innovative and sustainable grows more and more urgent with each passing day. Now, beyond the typical solar panels or paper straws, some of the newer proposals have been getting, um, more creative.. As strange as it may sound, apparently you can make a squishy material called hydrogel from a couple strands of DNA combined with a chemical in vegetable oil to bind it all together.
The researchers have already created a cup, puzzle pieces and a DNA molecule from the eco-friendly plastic \n\n https://cutt.ly/AT5bvsO; pic.twitter.com/G9hPZP8KgmConsidering how abundant DNA is as a resource, this new hydrogel plastic could prove to be a good alternative... how scientists will collect enough sperm to make mass production possible, though, has yet to be determined.
