Hybrid Living Coatings to Detect Structural Damage

“Mechanically Driven Bacteria‐Based Crack Detection” led by PhD candidate Ellen van Wijngaarden is now published in RSC Materials Advances! In a collaborative work with the Giometto, Brito, and Bouklas labs at Cornell, we created a biohybrid coating that embeds bacterial spores into a polymer layer, enabling the material to sense and respond to damage for […]
