Date Time Scientists create ‘living materials’ using kombucha-inspired microbial mixture Imperial and MIT researchers have made smart 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 ...
