A lantern in alkaline geopolymer — a cold nanoceramic that lets electronics be embedded as it cures.
An interactive lantern exploring alkaline-based geopolymers as a sustainable alternative to consumer electronics.
Geopolymers are a class of inorganic materials forming covalently bonded, non-crystalline networks. Unlike traditional ceramics they require no high-temperature firing, so electronic components can be embedded seamlessly during production. They are close to ceramics in behaviour, with a far lower carbon footprint.
