The next step in cybernetics!

For a long time, cybernetics was only seen in sci-fi (cyborgs like RoboCop and human enhancements like Inspector Gadget). A current limitation of electric prosthetics, is the human interface. Where the body rejects foreign objects. My project has been investigating a novel self-assembling material nanomaterial, acetylated β3-peptides. These have been demonstrated to assemble into fibers, and when coordinated to metals have been found to metallic like conductivity. As these mimic biological architecture, this material may be biocompatible, and as it forms 2D surface coverage, it’s possible to use it as to transport energy along molecular wires. β3-peptides represent an opportunity for the investigation of aRead More →
