Now, this is going to get complicated (science is not my forte), but it

seems that the University of Greenwich have made the news again. This

time for their School of Architecture & Construction. According to Softpedia, they could

create a living house, effectively covering houses with eco-friendly

materials to fight climate change. The materials would effectively

protect the buildings with a 'coral like skin'. Basically, this would

then be used to create carbon neutral building materials and make the

whole of building process much better for the environment.

I'm not entirely sure about how University of Greenwich have gone about

this, but I do like that they're working on more eco-friendly stuff. And

it's pretty ground-breaking too. Even if I'm not sure that I'll

understand the science completely, it all sounds very smart, doesn't it?

I just wonder how long it will be before the use of synthetic biology

is put into practice.

Heard about something cool happening at the University of Greenwich? Tell us about it!
