AZoSensors speaks with Tzu-Chieh (Zijay) Tang, a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Zijay is one of the authors of a paper documenting the development of what the team terms a deployable physical containment strategy (DEPCOS).

Inspired by Kombucha Tea, Engineers Create “Living Materials” Details Share This Engineers at MIT and Imperial College London have developed a new way to generate tough, functional materials using a mixture of bacteria and yeast similar to the “kombucha mother” used to ferment tea. Engineers at MIT and Imperial College London have developed a new way to generate tough, functional materials using a mixture of bacteria and yeast similar to the “kombucha mothe...

Blue fluorescence caused by the engineered living materials (ELMs) Imperial and MIT researchers have made smart living materials by engineering microbes to detect and react to their environment. The materials, known as engineered living materials (ELMs), could be used to detect and filter contaminants in water, in packaging to detect and alert to damage using fluorescence, and act as ‘living photographs’ which display pictures projected onto them. Our new system moves us forward by creating...
