Coral Like SkinResearchers at the University of Greenwich in the UK are developing a carbon negative building material that would not only help fight climate change but protect the structures it is built upon. The material is made from protocells -- super simple cells that have only the basic elements of life, yet are able to grow and multiply -- that will capture carbon in their membranes and grow over time to create a hard, coral-like armor around or under buildings.1
