The Brain of a Material Scientist

The brain of a material scientist is about zooming all the way into the atoms and seeing what type of atoms they are, how they're bonded together. And then zooming out just a teeny tiny bit and then looking at the molecules of those materials. Evolution by natural selection produces these remarkable things. But I know we were talking earlier, Mark, about the idea that you can use that sort of syntactic evolution to have the materials designed themselves. There's various ways. One really popular way at the moment is called biomimicry,. We try and work out how does it do it? What's it made of?
