Bio-skin could transform responsive materials
February 5th, 2016
Initiated in the MIT Media Lab, and supported in part by sportswear company New Balance, bioLogic is an effort to program living organisms and invent responsive and transformable interfaces of the future. At the crux of this effort is the discovery of a new behavior of an ancient bacteria: the expansion and contraction of the […]
MIT researchers develop a responsive bio-skin

Researchers in the Tangible Media Group at MIT’s Media Lab say they “imagine a world where actuators and sensors can be grown rather than manufactured, derived from nature as opposed to engineered in factories.” They haven’t just imagined it, they’ve actually done it, and it’s called BioLogic. The researchers have already demonstrated that the bio-skin […]
