[Summer Rerelease] Biomimetics and Bioinspired Materials
Welcome to our special summer rerelease series! Carolina and Clara take a trip down memory lane with a special series dedicated to their older episodes, including ones you may have missed! In today’s episode Carolina and Clara discuss biomimetic and bioinspired materials, and the challenges of understanding the biological structure of natural materials to then create additional intelligent biologically-inspired materials. But what about not only mimicking nature? What about creating ‘living’ materials that have a bi-directional flow of information? Stay tuned to find out how scientists have been able to use nature as an inspiration to address problems, including controlling heart muscle cells with light, enabling smart drug delivery systems, creating stronger and safer building materials that can withstand natural disasters, and more! Today’s episode was made possible thanks to the support of the Biochemical Society public engagement fund. We would like to thank the Biochemical Society for the generous grant supporting Science Communication initiatives like these. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=the+biochemical+society&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 --- We hope you enjoy the episode!
