Repairing an Air Protein Fin in Superior City
City workers conduct the operation of construction A.N.T.s (Autonomous Networked Things) as they repair a carbon capture coil near Superior City. The line between work and play is at best a fuzzy affair in Central Shield. Every citizen is expected to participate as a member of the Central Shield’s Civic Corps. Duties run the range from simple park maintenance to more complicated activities like construction and engineering of the megastructures. In exchange for their contribution to the well being of the city, the S.A.B reimburses each citizen for their efforts with a biweekly civic dividend (a form of universal basic income). This dividend is calculated such that those with the lightest duties and time commitments receive a generous living wage while those who commit more time and expertise are rewarded with larger payments.

New nanonets target, trap, and kill specific bacteria
New nanonets target, trap, and kill specific bacteria The nanonets could be used instead of antibiotics once fully developed. Thoughts health innovators?
The nanonets could be used instead of antibiotics once fully developed. The microscopic nets consist of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), proteins that form a mesh when they detect certain chemicals in the bacterial cell membrane. Once the AMPs have attached themselves to the bacteria via these chemical sites, they attract other peptides, self-organizing to project long, interwoven tendrils to…

A Vision for Biomimetic Construction Materials
Tumblr media
Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It comprises 95% calcium carbonate (aragonite) which, due to its layered microstructure, yields tensile strength, toughness and ductility levels as well as barrier and durability characteristics that far exceed those of monolithic aragonite or artificial inorganic materials such as concrete.
The superior engineering properties of nacre result from its controlled microstructure fored during a biomineralization process. This process involves controlled through-solution crystallization of amorphous materials (mostly calcium carbonate) to form intricate microstructures tailored towards serving structural, protective and other purposes.
Can we learn from biomineralization of nacre to produce improved material for construction of longer-lasting, safer and more sustainable infrastructure systems?

Morphing Aircraft: The Need for Flexible Skin
Tumblr media
The morphing aircraft attempts to break out of the confines of rigid structures with the intention of creating vehicles with multiple functional equilibria. The morphing aircraft is a multirole platform that changes its state substantially to adapt to changing operation environments, and is viewed as part of a revolutionary transformation from large, expensive piloted aircraft to smaller, autonomous types with combined roles and increased functionality.
Flexible skins constitute an enabling technology for morphing aircraft. The skin must be able to handle large in-plane deformations and out-of-plane aerodynamic loads while simultaneously carrying some shear loads. There are numerous design concepts that can be used for morphing aircraft, but most designs cannot effectively integrate skins. Elastomers constitute a promising group of materials for flexible skins; they are capable of elastically deforming by very large amounts without permanent changes in shape. The occasional cross-links within elastomers define an original shape which will be restored upon unloading.
Since elastomers are generally insulating, elastomeric skins can become charged in service; they could then behave as a capacitor and discharge in a single event causing considerable damage to the surrounding materials and the electronics on the vehicle. To mitigate electrostatic charge buildup, the surface resistivity of the skin should be lowered below a threshold level, which should be retained even under large elastomeric deformations. The conductivity of the elastomeric skin would also provide a level of protection against lightning strike.

A variety of cyborged high-g "super-earth" mobility suits featuring a heavy admixture of both biological and biomimetic materials.
TOP: Megarachne amphibious assault dreadnought MIDDLE TOP: Cotylorhynchus ground transport suit, generally employed as a short-range overland cargo hauler MIDDLE & MIDDLE BOTTOM: A couple somewhat more reasonably sized utilitarian high-g human mobility suits, affectionately referred to as "pill bugs" by their pilot operators BOTTOM: Quick 'n dirty composite size comparison, with a pathetic little human for scale

Steady Burs
If you go down to the woods today you might come home covered in sticky plant parts. These may be the burs or dry fruit of 'hitchhiker' plants like Harpagonella palmeri (left) – they often use animals as vehicles to spread their seeds. Bioengineers are very interested in H. palmeri’s secret – tiny hooks (seen zoomed in on the right), which allow the fruit to spread their weight across an attached surface, especially one that might be moving quickly. The researchers find that varying the spacing, size and stiffness of these hooks allows the plants to balance the stressful forces involved, so they can cling on. The team are now investigating ways to mimic these plucky plants in human surgery, where, H. palmeri might inspire new ways of attaching moving tendons to bones.
