Groovy flat-packed pasta could help revolutionize food production • 6 min read Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.Morphing Matter Lab, Carnegie Mellon University Pasta is beloved for its diversity of shapes, from tubes of penne to spirals of fusilli. However, these bulky 3D structures often require large packages to store. Now scientists have developed flat pasta that can morph into familiar shapes when cooked, which could make them easier to ship not just on Earth, but in space.

6 MAY 2021 In our efforts to rein in our overwhelming burden upon Earth's living biosphere, every little thing adds up. Even the shape of pasta (of all things!) can make a difference in our consumption of resources.   Which is why scientists have now created flat-packed pasta that's more efficient to package and transport, but can then unfurl into shape once it's in the pot. Food packaging is a huge contributor to landfills. In the US for instance, food packaging along with food waste makes up almost half of all solid consumer waste. But scientists estimate that flat-packed noodles could re...

Scientists create flat pasta that morphs into 3D shapes on cooking Vishwam Sankaran © Provided by The Independent An interdisciplinary team of scientists specialising in material science, mechanical engineering, and computer-aided fabrication are making a new type of pasta dough that remains flat during storage, but can morph into tubes, spirals, twists, and waves when cooked. The scientists, including those from the Morphing Matter Lab at the Carnegie Mellon University in the US, believe this pasta innovation can help improve the packaging and transportation efficiency of i...

Charles Q. Choi, Contributor (Inside Science) -- Pasta is beloved for its diversity of shapes, from tubes of penne to spirals of fusilli. However, these bulky 3D structures often require large packages to store. Now scientists have developed flat pasta that can morph into familiar shapes when cooked, which could make them easier to ship not just on Earth, but in space. The researchers drew inspiration from the way flat-packed items such as furniture made storage and shipping easier. They sought to make food that could package flat for slimmer containers, "since food packaging is one of the bi...

Flat Pasta That Turns Into 3-D Shapes — Just Add Boiling Water The engineers are in the kitchen, again. Researchers say the flat-to-plump pasta is not only fun to make, but uses less packaging, has a smaller carbon footprint and cooks faster than traditional dried pasta.Credit...Morphing Matter Lab/Carnegie Mellon University By Marion Renault May 5, 2021, 2:14 p.m. ET Don’t be fooled. This pasta may look like your average fettuccine. But cook it for seven minutes in boiling water and it will transform, coiling into a neat spiral. The dynamic noodle is one of several designed and deb...
