•Building roots in glass, a bio-inspired approach to creating 3D microvascular networks using plants and fungi
78% Informative
Kyushu University developed a new bio-inspired approach to building complex 3D microfluidic networks by utilizing plant roots and fungal hyphae as molds.
The team developed a 'soil' medium using nanoparticles of glass (silica) and a cellulose based binding agent, then allowed plants and fungi to grow roots into it.
After the plants were removed, the glass was left with a network of micrometer-sized hollow holes where the roots once were.
