- The Researchers at Northeastern University, in Boston, have developed a new bioplastic - MECHS, that dissolves in water.
- MECHS consists of engineered E. coli bacteria with a fibre matrix to create a paper- or film-like material.
- MECHS can stretch like plastic wrap, can be genetically engineered by adding proteins or peptides to make it more or less stiff.
