These new bioplastic straws made using potato starch and lignin are strong in water but still biodegrade.

This starchy bioplastic could make soggy paper straws a thing of the past

A large-area elemental map (Calcium: red, Silicon: blue, Aluminum: green) of a 2 cm fragment of ancient Roman concrete (right) collected from the archaeological site of Privernum, Italy (left). A calcium-rich lime clast (in red), which is responsible for the unique self-healing properties in this ancient material, is clearly visible in the lower region of the image.
