Description

Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) represent a new generation of sustainable construction 
materials that integrate biological systems to achieve self-healing, adaptability, and 
environmental resilience. By embedding living microorganisms within material matrices, ELMs 
can repair damage, sense environmental changes, sequester carbon, and even produce light, 
all while reducing the need for synthetic chemicals and minimizing environmental impact.
