Living Biomaterials That Could Change Manufacturing Forever

Living Biomaterials That Could Change Manufacturing Forever

Whether algae-based or oil-derived, all our industrial materials are composed of dead matter. Predictable and, above all stable, inert substances are ideal for many practical purposes. Scientists are now creating a new class of functional materials known as engineered living materials (ELM): the first ever artificial materials to behave like living organisms. Currently, the most commercially successful examples of ELM can be found in the construction sector by producing living bricks at scale.
