The difference, though, is that Modern Synthesis’s nanocellulose materials are ultimately biodegradable. “You want your materials to last a lifetime or maybe two, like 100 years.

Ernst Mayr helped define the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, proposing the "Biological Species Concept."In particular, his work on species and speciation helped scientists understand the ...

The Modern Evolutionary Synthesis formalizes the role of variation, heredity, differential reproduction, and mutation in population genetics. Here we explore a mathematical structure, based on the ...

Empowering undergraduates to think critically about science in the media and society. A revolution is quietly unfolding in the field of evolutionary biology, challenging entrenched paradigms and ...

Modern Synthesis’ scalable process employs advanced material science to enhance the inherent properties of nanocellulose, which it claims is eight times stronger than steel at the nano-fibre level.

Modern Synthesis has developed a biomaterial from bacterial that can be used to create a low-carbon alternative to traditional clothing fabrics.

Modern Synthesis recently closed a $5.5 million funding round, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. The round was led by Extantia Capital with participation from Artesian and Collaborative Fund.

Jen Keane’s claim to fame is that she grew a shoe using bacteria, coaxing the microbes to deposit their nanocellulose materials in the shape of a sneaker. Other biomaterials can mimic leather ...
