Chinese researchers have developed a microbial system that transforms steel industry waste into useful construction materials while simultaneously capturing carbon dioxide from cement plant emissions. The technology addresses two major environmental challenges with a single biological solution. The study, published in Engineering, demonstrates how bacteria can accelerate the conversion of steel slag—a massive industrial byproduct—into … Read more
