SUMMARY:MAE Seminar: "Engineered Living Materials Capable of Self-Growing\,
  Self-Healing\, and Self-Cleaning"
DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have
  given rise to a new form of materials\, namely engineered living material
 s. Currently\, developing engineered living materials that combine the str
 uctural properties of traditional construction materials with attributes o
 f living systems\, including the ability to self-grow\, self-repair\, self
 -clean\, detect environmental threats\, and capture carbon dioxide\, has e
 merged as a new promising research area. In this talk\, self-growing brick
 s\, self-healing concrete\, and self-cleaning surfaces are introduced as e
 xamples to discuss the general principles to be applied when designed livi
 ng construction materials to perform specific functions in open environmen
 ts\, the main challenges to make them a commercial reality\, and the futur
 e directions in this emerging interdisciplinary field.
