A woman of the Baduy ethnic group, known for maintaining ancestral customs and the limited use of modern technology, stand at a door in Kanekes, Banten province on April 24, 2026. The Baduy people are an indigenous community in western Java, divided into the Inner Baduy, who wear white and follow stricter traditional customs, and the Outer Baduy, who typically wear dark clothing and have more interaction with the outside world.

A researcher weighs out nickel powder as he demonstrates the production process of a new plastic-like biomaterial derived from shrimp shells at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Barcelona on April 24, 2026. This innovative material, developed from shrimp shells and reinforced with nickel, mimics the functional properties of plastic while offering high resistance to water. Researchers at the center suggest this breakthrough marks the beginning of a new era of biological materials capable of replacing single-use plastics with natural, sustainable alternatives.
