The engineering behind grown structure.
Two deep-dives for every family — how the biology works, how we densify it, and how you specify it. Written by the Zoeus materials team.
How mycelial networks learned to carry a roof
Why a fungus makes a surprisingly good column — and how we turn a soft network into a 380 MPa compression core.
Curing without a kiln
Room-temperature densification is where Mycelith earns its negative carbon number. Here's the cold-press process.
Chitin's second life
The second-most-abundant polymer on Earth was hiding in shellfish waste. We grow it on purpose — and align it for tension.
Designing 60-metre clear spans
When self-weight stops fighting you, the whole span table changes. A worked example with CHITOSPAN-ZX.
Turning flue gas into fiber
How captured CO₂ becomes a woven laminate — and why Carboweave reaches −2.2 tons of carbon per ton produced.
Sheathing that sequesters as it shields
The building envelope is the biggest surface you own. Making it a carbon sink instead of a carbon cost.
