Michel Laberge: How synchronized hammer strikes could generate nuclear fusion. 2 | This Edible Blob Is A Water Bottle Without The Plastic. One way to stop the ever-growing pile of plastic water bottles in landfills? Make a bottle people can eat. Inspired by techniques from molecular gastronomy, three London-based industrial design students created Ooho, a blob-like water container that they say is easy and cheap to make, strong, hygienic, biodegradable, and edible. The container holds water in a double membrane using "spherification," the technique of shaping liquids into spheres first pioneered in labs in 1946 and more recently popularized by chefs at elBulli in Spain.
It works a little like an egg yolk, which also holds its shape using a thin membrane. “We’re applying an evolved version of spherification to one of the most basic and essential elements of life--water,” says Rodrigo García González, who designed the Ooho with fellow design students Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche. A compound made from brown algae and calcium chloride creates a gel around the water. Why not just drink from the tap? Understanding Crystallography - Part 1: From Proteins to Crystals.
