Chicken Feathers in Circuit Boards?
According to Wired, It’s No Birdbrain Idea.
Researchers are turning to an unlikely source to develop environmentally friendly computer components: the barnyard.
Richard Wool, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Delaware, wants to recycle discarded chicken feathers and use them to manufacture circuit boards, replacing petroleum-based components with keratin-based composites. Computer circuit boards are only one of the many applications researchers envision for this material.
