Our first Bluesky post showcases the incredible beauty hidden in the nanoscale. Science and art. Through images of our researchers' work, you'll see hydroxyapatites that look like rose gardens, bone cells that resemble aerial views of jungles, and 3D silicon that mimic architectural structures.
💧 Turning Greywater into a Resource!

Our researchers are leading the way in sustainable water management with the development of BEEC – BioEngineering Eco-Composite, a novel material that enables the filtration and reuse of greywater ♻️.

💡 Imagine a bone implant that is flexible during surgery – easy to handle, adapt, and fix – and then hardens naturally once inside the body to provide strong, bone-like support.

That’s what researchers from the BBT group have achieved in a new study published in #AdvancedFunctionalMaterials.

Another #InsideMaterials is here! 🥳

🔎 This month, our picture is giving #SciFi or mythical creature. In reality, it's a dental implant embedded in a porous material that simulates bone for a biocompatible solution.

Do you also think science is SUPER cool? What does the picture remind you of? 🤔

In this #InsideMaterials post not everything is what it seems. 🤔 This cool sculpture of Darth Vader is, in reality, invisible to the eye. A #nanosculpture made with a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and that can only be photographed by a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). May the force be with you! 🤟
