From sea shells to self-repairing gadgets
Abstract:
If the future of technology involves the synergy of silicon chips and biology, then Dr. Angela Belcher has a head start. Her two-year-old startup, Cambrios, leverages the abalone shell formation – which represents millions of years of evolution - to bring a new generation of biological nano-fabrication processes for the electronics industry.
