After 16 years, #tagderdeutscheneinheit (German Unity Day) returns to Saarbrücken & we're excited to showcase our new materials alongside @uni-saarland.de!

Today, we engaged the public with nano-enhanced devices as flexible electronics and seed-like sensors.

Tomorrow - Living Technologies!

For the German Unity Day in Saarbrücken, we exhibited our work on Living Therapeutic Materials.
We engaged kids and grown-ups alike on how we program probiotic bacteria to produce medicines and how we secure them in gels that can be shaped in easily applicabile formats like contact lenses!
