Lobster Shell Golf Balls Featured In Mental Floss
The website Mental Floss is featuring in its Number of the Day section a story about UMaine-engineered lobster shell golf balls. The web post says there were 100,000 golf balls discovered submerged in Scotland’s Loch Ness in 2009, and links that number to the lobster shell golf balls, which are completely biodegradable and designed for use on cruise ships. UMaine engineer David Neivandt and his student Alex Caddell spearheaded the project. The blog Plastics News also ran a story about the golf balls.
