Walther plans to produce mechanical materials equipped with the ability to adapt, learn, and interact. The long-term goal is to generate a form of coevolution between synthetic materials and living cells, which would blur the boundaries between animate and inanimate matter. The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Professor Andreas Walther an ERC Consolidator Grant, one of the most richly endowed EU funding awards given to top-level researchers, for his Metabolic Mechanical Materials: Adaptation, Learning & Interactivity (M
