Synthetic Biology and Future Materials

This is an executive briefing about the power and implications of synthetic biology and future materials. Learn how to knit a sports car, how old newspapers are a source of super-fabrics or how the discovery of new materials is automated by robots and machine learning.

I wish you great week and all the best,

Harnessing Nature's Superpowers

The 21st century will be dominated by biology just as the 20th century was dominated by physics and the century before by chemistry.

From cancer treatment to food or fabrics production, snow canons or extremly powerful data storage: Synthetic biology has potential in uncountable applications. Read about them in The Economist.

The TED-Talk below shows how scientists today are harnessing the power of biology and how it plays a role in the circular economy.
