Imagine a coal-fueled power plant that emits only water and clean air. Inside the plant, designer yeast cells transform the carbon dioxide released during the coal’s combustion into raw materials for floor tiles and other construction supplies.
生物学、物理学和工程学的加速趋同给我们带来了层出不穷的新技术方案。想象一下，一座火电厂只排放水和新鲜空气。再地球内部，设计师酵母细胞将燃煤过程所产生的二氧化碳转化为地板砖和其他建筑材料的原料。
