Abstract

The Cluster of Excellence livMatS envisions a future where materials systems are living, adaptive, and energy-autonomous, drawing inspiration from biological systems. By integrating principles from biology, chemistry, and engineering, livMatS aims to create materials that can harvest energy from their environment, adapt to changes, and self-repair. The cluster's research is organized into four key areas: energy autonomy, adaptivity, longevity, and sustainability. Demonstrator projects, such as an artificial Venus flytrap and soft autonomous machines, showcase the feasibility of these innovative materials systems. The cluster also emphasizes the importance of societal and philosophical implications, ensuring that the development of these technologies aligns with sustainability and societal acceptance. By bridging the gap between engineering, natural sciences, and behavioral sciences, livMatS seeks to create materials that integrate seamlessly with the human environment and run on clean energy.
