Where does bio-cement come from?
A new peer-reviewed study led by our co-founder Dimitrios Terzis, in collaboration with Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI) and supported by Innosuisse, takes us back to the origin story of the microorganisms behind our technology. By isolating 50 environmental strains from a grassland in Ticino – naturally rich in calcium – our team […]
Biocementation in Clayey Soils: A Major Breakthrough Against Erosion
“56 kilometers of dikes threatened in southern France due to the intensification of storm surges.” Le Monde, February 23, 2025 With extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels, stabilizing earth structures has become a crucial challenge. At Medusoil, we have developed an innovative solution that enhances the resistance of clayey soils against erosion. Proven Results […]
Exploring the use of environmental strains for biocement production
A recent study examines the effectiveness of environmental strains for the production of biocement.
