Create Biochemical Metamaterials

Engineer biological materials with properties not found in nature, such as negative refractive indices, programmable stiffness, or self-healing capabilities. This involves designing protein or DNA-based materials with precisely controlled structures and properties. Applications could include invisible biological materials, adaptive medical implants, or materials that respond to biological signals. Challenges include controlling material assembly at multiple scales, achieving desired material properties with biological components, and maintaining stability in biological environments.
