What if we could "grow" clothes from microbes, furniture from living organisms and buildings with exteriors like tree bark? TED Fellow Suzanne Lee shares exciting developments from the field of biofabrication and shows how it could help us replace major sources of waste, like plastic and cement, with sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

As a Materials Engineering student, I am surprised by how limited the teachings in our university is. I mean, this idea should have been explored and discussed within our academic community yet this is the first time I've heard of biofabrication done at this scale. Everything she said made sense. We have been trying to save our planet while excluding its very inhabitants.
An eye-opener, I'll gladly think more creatively and biologically when considering materials and manufacturing.
I'm a fashion professor and just hearing this for the first time. There has always been a lag between education and industry, but it definitely is getting wider.
@@melliott3681 You and Super Webster should get together and start a project to explore the topic of biofabrication!
With the internet, universities as the repositories of the highest levels of knowledge currently known to man are becoming obsolete ...
Would love a constructive conversation about it. the bigger picture is the planet doesn’t need to be saved. It’s human beings that are broken disconnected and lost for whatever reason. If we correct/realign the brain database and re-boot with the cosmic 2.0 upload lol then there is no separation. simply plug-in, activate! be your higher self and help those around us to be fully present.
Think fungus on your exploration.. there’s a whole world of biofuels to be explored.
nature is absolutely perfect..it’s beautiful! I’ve always said to folks throughout my travels you can look at nature to see it’s perfection. it’s only when the pigeon drinks from the oily puddle in the parking lots of places like Los Angeles that we create this disharmony and imperfection. the human species needs to be awoken for one and realigned with natures laws and even more grand cosmic order. Then and only then we can rise above all our individualized petty earth differences we find in this time/realm.
Is there an easier way to see it.. if they wanted an enlightened society it would’ve been thousands of years ago we get to work with what we were handed.
what they don’t want you to know is that we are it, we are they! Rapidly evolve those around us and watch the illusion and the ruling class crumble.
College landscape has changed, all a senior and post-grad students 'education' is collaborative evidence to support your professor thesis.
It's refreshing to know there's actual people out there that share the same world views as myself... It doesn't matter what area of research or work we're talking about, when it comes to finding alternatives (and btw, much BETTER than the traditional options), my heart starts racing and I see a different future arising. Thanks for being passionate!
The ingenuity. Brilliant. And so practical.
This tech has real-world, (revolutionary) beneficial application. My favorite form of technology/advancement.
Thank you for this!
"real-world". Hmm. I've seen lots of props used onstage at TED talks before. Why not now? Pandemic-phobia?
shut up
DONT BE STUPID. We have yet to build a
universe to fully understand how a single diatom fits in a bollion year time frame or a dinosour fit in the universal time frame. We r soooo limited in our view of universal impact time frame.Introducing new bacteria can disrupt human biology. We r celled creatures bio diverse interconnected food chain
Eco system. dandruff is due to malesezia globosa yeast. Our entire body is connected to good n bad bacteria immunity probiotic antibiotic.our immune system reacts or is destroyed by a new induction of a new virus or a new bacteria. Dont be a stupid idiot n introduce a new novel bacteria that can disrupt n destroy the ecology for the sake of fashion. Pretending to god can annihiliate the entire celled species.
Can u imagine if they grew fabric to make mask for corona virus n the bacteria in the mask ' has corona virus' cos its living?? Hehehehehhe morons.
The good thing about lifestock is that if it has a plague n died we wouldnt eat that lifestock.but a grown lab meat doesnt have symptoms cos it has no limbs... again morons.
This is an awesome compilation of magnificent evolving work... I wish I could work with them. I feel so happy and inspired after this TED talk thank you thank you thank you!!!
Breaking news all hospital fabric of nurses n doctors have contracted rota virus corona virus and H1N1... all patients n doctors will be naked.heheheheheheheh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One question as a engineer, what are the limitations? we need to know the disadvantages as well. The disadvantages as well as the advantages in comparison make it easier to move from the traditional method.You say these are made of microorganism will the products have a long shelf life, will it break down because it's organic, his it healthy for use ?
Yes please! I kinda hate how one-sided the TED talks often are, but I suppose it's nature of promotional/inspirational material - it's meant to get people excited enough to dive into the field.
My shirt got cancer the other day; it started proliferating fabric after it reacted with some charcoal dust. I had to throw it out but it seemed to metastasize into the rest of the garbage can. Now there's a weird cellular lattice growing on the side of my house.
The point of these talks is to introduce the talking points that lead to innovation.
@@robertbritt6134 Robert please I'm only 7
I think you won't get answers here. You might get it when you email the speaker. If you really really want to know it.
If you do, you may get wider knowledge.
If you don't, well, audiens cannot really feel what the feeling and excitement of the player, can't they? But comments only, is a normal act, if we are just audiences.
Making clothing this way sounds awesome. I’m withholding judgement on the durable goods, especially the bricks, until I learn how long they last.
Brought to tears. Please please keep advancing our civilization. Everyone should be implementing these alternatives immediately!
Amazing, this is already one of my favorite presentations.
I work with logistics and gratuated with a study about making asphalt with old tires (this exists for over 50 years but isn't nearly as used as it should be), tires are one of the biggest problems to the climate because it can't be recycled and we fabricate billions every year, i wonder if it would be possible to biofabricate something similar to galvanized rubber, that would be amazing.
(English isn't my first language, pardon any mistakes)
Wow! I thought most asphalt was already made from recycled tires.
If her outfit was biofabricated, that would be really awesome.
That's what I thought at first think :)
Me too)
Why would she not show off her concept?
@@kirstinstrand6292 Because they're not at a stage where they're fashionable enough. They're still in the research stage.
Maybe it's not that advanced yet 😂
This will be the biggest innovation in human history I'm gonna bet.
ever heard about the internet?
@@Waynee234 The internet certainly ranks as significant, however I'd say the ability to create and control fire, the wheel, the printing press,the steam engine, and the computer, were far greater relative jumps in human capacity. When we harness the power of biology to build and manufacture for us humanity will take a leap in productivity that will be unfathomable.
What about AI?
@@sujit0180 I suspect they will be related. I see biocomputers in our future. Imagine a biocomputer building itself to virtually limitless capacity. I know there are biochips being developed already.
@@555Trout even when you take into account that the internet is what enables such technologies to come forward at this rate as we see it nowadays?
This is absolutely stunning! It would be very helpful to add some links for further information and the materials and techniques you refer to. Thank you!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Mind blowing brilliance.... Quite frankly, most of our advancements has only been limited due to technology and scarcity of adventure/lack of braveness to go beyond our limits..🤔🤔😎😎
Talks like this make me feel excited about the future of our planet again.
why? you know its only the super wealthy that will benefit from this. everyone elses standard of living is actually decreasing.
Achievement unlocked:
Direct resource extraction+
Can u imagine if they grew fabric to make mask for corona virus n the bacteria in the mask ' has corona virus' cos its living?? Hehehehehhe morons.
@@adrianaadnan7704 that would be a major concern. Finding sterile materials that when broken down won't release awful ramifications! Karmic AF
@@adrianaadnan7704 No sir, you're the moron. Did you know you have tens of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, in your gut right now? Contrary to your knowledge, most bacteria are harmless to human, even beneficial to us. Bacteria and virus are actually at war with each other and their war is the oldest one on Earth. Thus, by increasing the number of harmless and beneficial bacteria to human, we actually prevent harmful bacteria and viruses from growing. Did you notice the rise of deadlier and deadlier diseases the cleaner we get? That's because detergents, soaps and other chemicals kill harmless and beneficial bacteria to us, leaving room for more harmful bacteria and viruses to invade us. Harmless and beneficial bacteria is the strongest defense we had against virus and we have to bring them back.
@@adrianaadnan7704 Viruses aren't considered living by biologists. They are entirely parasitic in nature. They don't have a metabolism; they can't reproduce on their own or produce their own parts. So no, you couldn't bio-fabricate anything with viruses.
Thank you Suzanne & Ted for sharing this important knowledge and information :)
Brilliant, effective and an innovation to watch from all angles.
I guess this is gonna change the meaning of the phrase....”grow a pair”

Fascinating talk. We are living in the future. There’s hope with these technologies.

Brilliant! The future is here 🌿💚
These are truly Exciting times to live on the planet.
We have been disconnected but are finally being reconnected! 🌎
On one hand, I agree with every word she says.
On the other, the fact she didn't mention cost of production, once, makes me think this is likely a very naive viewpoint.
If these products shes mentioning cost more than their (earth destroying) counterparts, then it will never work.
If you're asking people to PAY MORE for a product because it's "green," you're essentially asking them to forget about their PRESENT LIFE, and focus on a future that's promised to nobody.
Don't get me wrong, we should focus on the future, but human nature is human nature. I've leaned to accept it.
Given how much is saved in raw material extraction costs, shipping costs, energy costs during production, shipping again, etc., I would be surprised if these products cost more than the traditional materials they aim to replace, esp after they get production up to scale.
@@BrookeMonfort I hope you're right., Brooke. Though, I have my doubts.
Idk man but instead of the cost I've been thinking about the ecosystem, you know humans are basically greedy.. I just can't imagine what would happen if we mess with those decomposser
I like the idea but I think this kind of future is still far away from save
Hello sir.
As with all innovation and technical/scientific revolutions. It takes time and investment and more time, before things can be streamlined enough and perfected so that they can eventually supplant the existing systems.
When cars were first invented, we didnt have asphalt/tarmacked roads or any kind of hard surface. They'd get bogged down in mud and wet squelching city street muck. People laughed and said that cars would never work because horse drawn carriages were far superior and didnt require fueling and could cross mud/fields and soft terrain.
The same way when electricity was first being used in homes, we hadn't realised that copper wires should be coated and insulated (as they are today). Many homes would evidently end up burning down because of electrical issues and no insulation. Children would be fried and die of electric shocks because the entire home had open copper wiring throughout.
Its just a matter of time and perspective.
Just some thoughts. Hope it helped. Cheers.
What exactly is this present life?? At this moment we are capable of destroying future .. so we need to be very very conscious abt it .. future is not just a thing .. it's the thing .. the whole point of humanity and evolution is to exist in future ..
I agree that things have to be made practical .. but this talk is for inspiration and creating demand .. that it 😬🙂
I love the composting idea!!!
Where can we get more information surrounding this topic? Specific production techniques, research and other principles and technologies.
Where can we get more artists to create ecofriendly homes with those materials. I am amazed and relieved that such things have being discovered. Hopefully I will see some of it in my lifetime. I am a fanatic recycler and will love to be in a house made of those bricks. Thank you for your hard work in research.
Look up myco-composites
@@brendandor Thank you for the information
I made a wallet from the same or similar stuff the jackets shown early in the talk were made from. Its nano cellulose made from SCOBY (aka SCOBY Leather). It does soak up water like a sponge, but that's preventable with a coating of wax (I used a mix of beeswax, coconut oil, and mineral oil). It is easy to sew and can be cut to shape pretty easily. 2 Years on and its still holding up!
Did you add dye to it as well?
This...this is fantastic. I can't wait to see this on the wide scale. Lots of advances coming soon. Tall buildings made of wood also fascinates me
I love the vision and the examples that makes it conceivable this can be done if enough great minds would be focused on finding sustainable biotechnological solutions for mankind material and energy needs
Brilliant presentation and super exciting possibilities.
Where can we follow this lady and work?
How do I get involved other than consuming the relevant products? Truly amazing innovation

Fantastic idea/concept !
This should be on 60 minutes. Astonishing.
Let's all remember the "Law Of Unintended Consequences". It's like "The Laws Of Physics". They cannot be ignored or violated without cost. Still a fascinating presentation.
Yup. Look at the unintended consequences of the plastics industry. Or apparently also the brick firing industry.
This is the future, the clothing industry is the second biggest polluter after the oil and gas industry.
DavetheSlave I guess that's where we come in. Even a mighty cliff will erode from constant waves.
Because 3726256272747 pairs of clothes is just not enough.
Fantastic...hopeful n exciting
I am absolutely all in!
If this could be applied to the evolving 3D printing of buildings and homes it could go further. I'd buy var stuff that was grown, and wear it if it becomes $$ feasible within my budget. Something akin to vertical gardening could be done this way too. Def have to look into this topic more.
In the sci-fi book series Forever Hero from the late 80's, biofabrication was used to grow ppl houses, and other things.
It was art imitating the future as it often does, or inspiring it perhaps.
I love you!
You had me at, "in the beer im going to drink after this"
Cheers from Tucson, AZ.
This information has soothed my soul. Currently, my country is on fire, is being led by a buffoon of the extreme order and my beaches are beset and befouled by industry and the 'average person'. Not to mention the suffering of billions of animals we torture every day. This tech gives me new hope, where despair has prevailed for way too long. With a trusting and hopeful heart, thank you. Thank you for making the world much brighter.

Lol, we've been genetically engineering tools to assist humanity since the Dog.
@DBR Liamg human diet designed plants and fruits, or are you saying humans stumbled on "farms" that are naturally occuring
Great one!
Love the idea!😊
Our society and economy can change to fully take advantage of these kind of technologies that do not have a bad effect on our planet. Businesses and owners of the current way of doing things is what is keeping us from moving on.
This was really cool!
After this video i just took a giant sigh... I am disgusted how majority thinks and runs this world and probably won't implement this for another 50 years and its so frustrating because people won't hear about this and no one will give a care at the end of the day. I am tired of this. Instead we need to share videos like these, educate people about topics like this and seriously start thinking and acting upon majority who are ignorant and selfish for we as human race will be done for. This woman needs to be heard by everyone and hundreds of million other voices in the world and eventually whole world will be ready to solve problems of the history and pave way for future to come. God Bless you woman, and all others watching this video. I hope she succeeds in her work and i hope we all change the world one day forever in a better way.
Thanks sir

What about allergens in these biofabs like mold?
They could always sterilize the products, with gamma radiation, but you are right any biomolecules that are already in them, that you have antibodies for, will set off a potentially fatal immune response. This may be their biggest problem, health risks and the legal liability. The moment a green building is shown to be a Legionnaires Disease host the insurance rates for such construction in public buildings will get very expensive.
@@DanielSMatthews Currently people are freaking out about the latest Virus from China and just look at our own countries customs regulations. Sending organisms all into the world may have side effects besides allergens. Fungy are counted to the oldest and sometimes largest species on earth and can be harmful. When different types spread into different regions what would happen to the native once, to biodifersity, to other organisms sure human life is important to us humans but what about other species which may be affected?
This is the only comment i have seen here sofar not getting all hyped and thats a good thing. People need to think more ahead and asking questions even if we don't know the answers yet that is the way to go.
The promises this may have are great, being careful though is prudent as always when the genie is out of the bottle it is hard if not impossible to get him back inside.

@@kinngrimm Tinkering with animal kingdoms' genetics may also disturb our existing ecosystem. I am worried too... but I'm not a biologist so I hope I am wrong.
@@kinngrimm your raise a good point. I am just digging in more now with my research, but most bio-composites are grown from common mushrooms which are already represented in the existing environment. If this standard is followed, we can expect good outcomes. Polyphore (shelf type that grow off trees) mushrooms have strong anti-viral properties due to their persistence in the environment, so we can test them and optimize the ability of biofabrication materials to make our cities healthier.
Amazing!

@@adrianaadnan7704 GMO production is under strict regulation to make sure nothing escapes to the surroundings besides the bacteria or fungi used for production are very well adapted to the environment inside tank reactors. If they are put into the wild the wild type organisms will outcompete them swiftly exterminating all risk of spreading even if multiple mutations occur. Also quite often you make the production organism unable to survive without providing a key nutrient that the wild type could synthesize by itself. A kind of kill switch if you will. So I have faith in the usage of GMO's for production to not be a problem, especially since the micro-organisms are removed after production.
I'm quite optimistic about those innovations. It sounds like the beggining of a movie about a bio-distopya, though.
wow!
This is the first solution ive seen to plastics. The first step to possibly replacing our ubiquitous dependancy on oil byproducts. Hopefully it can be economically viable.

An Eye opener, this is a great step towards coexistence with other organisams without killing eachother. If we do this, even climate change can be harnessed. 1 thing that can save the whole plant. If we can just spent some money for a better future for us and the future generation.
If this happens millions of people are gonna lose their jobs and the danger of losing quite a few agricultural species will emerge as there'll be no need to grow them anymore.
I'm not trying to be judgmental, just wanted to state my first thoughts as of the fifth minute of the video.
New jobs will appears. After internet came, many new jobs which never exist before. Even now, there is UX designer job.
Don't worry.
What's the problem with losing agricultural species if we don't need them anymore, also we can just get it's DNA or freeze a sample of the species, don't we already have a bank of preserved plants somewhere? Also the job losing thing is stupid, you can apply that to every new technology that can help us and already helped us. Getting rid of these jobs will make products cheaper, making your money have more value, also the people that lost their jobs can get new ones
Juta juta the question of all these new jobs replacing the old is what happens to those working in those jobs. How will they be retrained for the new?
@@rizizum it won't.
Because it can't be replaced 100%.
Nowdays, offline marketing isn't extinct even online is booming.
That's why there is omni marketing. They blend.
@@reginaromsey surely things don't replace in one night. Disruption cannot be avoided.
People needs to change. See the vision and change now. Or, see now and change later.
The results are still same.
E.g. industrial revolution, internet revolution, etc. Can't be avoided.
These kinds of bright minds we need to stop global warming from increasing exponentially by the year. You're my idol Suzanne🥰😩
At 7:26 she says these bricks are three times stronger than traditional bricks, yet the CU Boulder page
www.colorado[.]edu/today/2020/01/15/building-materials-come-alive
and another page
www.newscientist[.]com/article/2230263-living-concrete-made-from-bacteria-used-to-create-replicating-bricks/
say that they are only as strong as mortar.
Still, if your walls were not quite vertical so that you could maintain a nutrient fluid on them, you could "grow" new layers after adding more base material.
If everything this amazing, innovative woman is referring to can be achieved in a timely, cost efficient manner, and in a way which is mutually beneficial for employers, workers, consumers and the economy as a whole, it really could be one of the greatest developments of modern times.
I would agree it could be a "benefit." Then again, what is our cost yo benefit analysis? Will it devalue jobs that make these products already? Or will it reduce the market price of items already on the market? Will it start out slow or will it progress too fast for us to handle it (something like Bitcoin - 0 to 9k in no time at all)? These questions about biofabrication might need be answered, to include; what will this do for the job market?
@@jonathandavis8503 yep definitely a lot of factors to consider
"Fungi are able to grow materials that are naturally fire retardant, without any chemicals."
So, what exactly ARE those materials made of then?
Eelgrass was used as an insulation material a hundred years ago or so. Naturally fire and rot resistant (the salt content maybe??) and second only to kapok for natural R-value. But a blight wiped out the entire industry in just a year or two. forever. Likewise, any intensive monoculture agri-business is vulnerable to its own kryptonite.
It isn't really true, it is just that some things char on the surface when burnt. The Japanese have been using the idea for centuries, they char the surface of wooden buildings, makes them rot slower too.
@AntiBigfootBiased That's what I was thinking.
