The purpose of this research was to investigate the processing approaches, variable material handling and materials properties of large biohybrid foam blocks. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #mycelium #myceliumcomposite #biofabrication #wirecutting #robotics #selfhealing #formworks

@PhilipStessens Of een toegangsprijs en sluitingstijden zoals de plantentuin van Meise. Gratis voor Brusselaars en betaalbaar voor anderen. Met dat geld kunnen ze dan de kosten dekken gelinkt aan het extra publiek/onderhoud. Zo moeilijk is dat nu toch niet.

Our latest research has just been publish in Elsevier! This paper presents four key developments that are leading to the scalability of the fabrication processes of mycelium material. authors.elsevier.com/a/1cfe8_LcXPl4… #mycelium #innovation⁠⁠ #robotics #biotech #circulareconomy

Through which realm should living matter be imagined when it is extracted from its natural context and placed into the context of manufacturing?

Although the mechanical properties of mycelium composites are not optimal yet, my research has shown that mycelium composites can fulfil the requirements for thermal insulation foams and have the potential to replace some fossil-based composites. doi.org/10/ggpwxd

Me: “Let’s grow a nice white panel with mycelium-material.” Mycelium: “Ok, I can just grow white, like always.” Me: “I will not be able to control your growth for only two days when I’m abroad, so just continue to… instagram.com/p/By5qydto90k/…

The fabrication and growth variations of mycelium-materials are infinite. Characterising and understand their biological and mechanical behaviour shouldn’t lead to the standardisation, but to the diversification of… instagram.com/p/ByvEoJFoj1R/…
