New material that cleans decontaminated water New material that cleans decontaminated water Scientists from the University of California San Diego have developed a 3D-printed material that could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly way to clean pollutants from water. The new ‘engineered living material’, made from a natural polymer combined with genetically engineered bacteria, was shown to decontaminate the dye-based pollutant indigo carmine, a dye widely used in textiles to color denim.
