Unfurling a Protein-based Fiddlehead
From: utexasCNS | Jason Shear and Bryan Kaehr at The University of Texas at Austin are making smart materials smarter. This video shows a rod they photofabricated from protiens reacting to a change in pH. The rod unfurls like a fern fiddlehead emerging from the ground in spring. The hope is to use this ability to control nanostructures for use in capturing and culturing bacteria, for motors and other parts in nano-bio-machines, and for drug delivery mechanisms.
Public Media Texas is based in Austin. We embrace our local presence in Austin with our hyper-local East Austin site 78702.org. We contribute to the discussion of the environment in the Southwest and the state of politics in Texas. We also seek to understand the dynamic between the U.S. and Mexico along our shared border. Along the way we search for artistic expressions that reflect and provide more perspective on the Lone Star state.
Dive on in.
