New Research Investigates Self-Healing Mycelium Material to Replace Concrete | |
Architects and designers have long sought sustainable alternatives to traditional construction materials like concrete, which are both resource-intensive and environmentally harmful. Now, researchers at Montana State University have developed an innovative building material that could change the future of architecture. This novel material is made from fungal mycelium—the thread-like root structures of fungi—combined with bacteria that trigger a natural mineralization process. The result is a lightweight yet durable material that remains alive for over a month, and can even be shaped into intricate, bone-like geometries. Unlike concrete, which requires high-temperature production and emits a significant amount of carbon dioxide, this new material is grown at low temperatures, reducing its carbon footprint. The hardening process it undergoes is reminiscent of how coral and shells form naturally in the ocean, using minerals from the environment. This provides a sustainable alternative to conventional construction materials while potentially contributing to the overall reduction in global carbon emissions.
