Protocells Recoverable Running Shoes Printed With 3D From Synthetic Biological Cells

his shoes The design of the body is made of synthetic biomaterials, which makes shoes wearer feel more comfortable and natural like their own second layers of skin. When people wear this running shoes, they will buffer themselves in certain areas according to the specific needs of users and the uniqueness of their feet, so as to achieve the most comfortable results. After a workout, Protocells Running shoes can even repair themselves overnight.

　　 Designer Aden and Martin Hanczyc, a professor specializing in the research of primitive cell technology at University of Southern Danmark, have developed this innovative Protocells running shoes. By mixing different types of Protocells abiotic molecules, they try to create artificial life systems, which can produce different behavioral characteristics, such as the ability to respond to pressure, light and heat.

"These (synthetic) cells can expand or contract when they are under pressure," says designer Aden, who was interviewed by the famous design blog Dezeen. "When you run on different roads, it can expand or contract according to the pressure felt by your feet, thus providing better foot support for runners." The material will also be printed by 3D to form shoes that fit the user's feet like second layers of skin.

Dr. Hanczyc also said: "for athletes, because this active material is a technology with reactivity and reconfigurability, this kind of technology is very effective. 3D Printed optoelectronic materials can be closely integrated with individual feet. It can adjust in real time according to the activities of runners. "

After a run, this creature. Material Science The photovoltaic cells will lose some energy, and users only need to put these photoelectric materials back into a pot filled with liquid filled with photovoltaic cells. They can automatically repair themselves. Not only that, they can also dye all kinds of colors that users want when they are self repairing. Designer Aden said, "you need to bring this sports shoelace home, take care of plants and take care of it, and make sure that you have some natural resources for them to repair themselves."
