Biomaterials as UI
summary
Shows concrete results: bioprinting films that make fabric open and close with humidity, mycelium bricks that survive wind heat and rain, mushroom leather and modular textiles made by MycoWorks/MycoTex, a silkworm‑spun pavilion built from 6,500 silkworms, apple scaffolds that grow stem cells into tissue, EpiBone growing patient‑matched bone in ~6 weeks, engineered yeast producing spider silk and hundreds of new fabrics, and a DNA Fountain error‑free recombination demo storing files in DNA. Tools, timelines, and test outcomes are specific.
