New Material Narratives

News

Excited to be in this amazing publication :D

Sistemas Materiales is proud to announce the launch of "Trazos ed Biomaterials" a pioneering publication in Spanish in the interdisciplinary field of biomaterials developments. The book is divided into three sections which explore, interrogate, shape, and reflect on these scientific and creative advancements.

Readers will find a collection of bespoke essays by 12 specialists whose visions range from biology to the humanities, exploring the intersections between design, science, and culture.

The project section presents 24 innovative developments in biomaterials and biofabrication, offering a vision of diverse design processes that comprehend this constantly evolving field.

 

Research paper: out now!

Whooop - the first paper (conference paper) is out that shares about my PhD research.

Have a look at some of my research into textile-bacterial hybrids - developing living textiles with bacterial organisms. 🦠🧫🧶

FRAME magazine feature: Will we soon coexist with living, sensing materials?

“In the future, hybrid materials made of 3D-knitted textiles and genetically modified bacteria could turn interiors into living canvasses that can sense and react to their surroundings. 

So believe Romy Kaiser, Bea Delgado Corrales, Paula Nerlich and Anne-Sofie Belling. Combining their disciplines of design, technology and microbiology, the PhD students at The Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment (HBBE) are exploring their ideas as part of Driving the Human …”

Bio-Futures for Transplanetary Habitats (BFfTH) is a research group that aims to explore and enable interdisciplinary research on transplanetary habitats and habitats within extreme environments through an emphasis on the bio-social and biotechnological relations.

 
 

Human-Bacteria Interfaces introduces the novel concept of human-bacteria interfaces within the context of the built environment. - selected amongst over 1000 applicants, our group will get started with exploring and developing an interface for more-than-human + human interaction. STAY TUNED!
