Making Wood Without Trees – Even In Space!
Robert Pylkkänen
Last year, for the first time ever, Japanese scientists were able to produce nanocellulose in space. In layman's terms, they managed to make wood without trees at the International Space Station, 400 km above earth.
The Living Cell Factory
