Magical Mushroom adds mycelium to natural materials that farmers no longer need. As the mycelium tries to break the materials down, it grows threads (线) that form a strong and light material that can be used as packaging. And after being used, it breaks down naturally in about 40 days in a garden. |

Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display (数字显示) . Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make "digital cloth" with a silver-plated yarn (银镀纱) and a kind of thread.
