Join us on Material Minds as we delve into the groundbreaking world of protein-based Materials with Professor Luai R. Khoury from Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology!

Discover how Professor Khoury and his team are engineering revolutionary materials, including protein sponges with catalytic activity that remain active for extended periods. Learn about the fascinating development of origami-inspired soft robots designed to deliver drugs precisely within the body, reacting to physiological triggers like acidity and enzymes. Plus, prepare to be amazed by an innovative system for synthesizing functional protein microgels, ingeniously inspired by the process of brewing espresso! Could materials one day make their own decisions? Tune in to find out!

This episode is packed with insights into the future of biomaterials, from biomedical applications to potential uses in space and agriculture. Explore how advanced protein engineering, synthetic biology, and AI are converging to create truly intelligent materials.
