Scientists have created a high-tech, 3D-printable building material using sodium alginate, the <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">seaweed</a>-derived biopolymer that makes ice-cream creamy and gives &lsquo;popping boba&rsquo; its snap.
Adding a tiny amount of this to local clay and sand makes the mixture incredibly smooth for 3D printing, and the final structure remarkably strong.&nbsp;
The mixture can withstand 25 per cent more pressure that standard earthen materials, and 33 per cent faster 3D printing.
