💌 To all the incredible supporters who voted for us - unfortunately we didn't win Stars of Science. What we're thankful for: all of you who follow us + the experience. It's a long adventure and your encouragements help us move forward. The show helped us get to the incredibly promising prototype we have today and we will just find the funds elsewhere 🤾♀️ We're now taking little hiatus to breathe, regroup and strategize next steps... If you're a lab that might want to collaborate, feel free to reach out!
Electric Skin

Can the future of electronics be growable and compostable? Developing protein-based electricity to make this a reality.
À propos
We are Nada, Catherine, Sequoia and Paige, a decentralised team of women based Mexico, Qatar, France and the USA. In our joining, we stumbled across a Science article titled “The Mud is Electric”. It told the story of the scientists who first documented electrically active bacteria and started playing with their possibilities. It turns out these bacteria are found everywhere in oxygen-starved soils, from salt marshes to backyard ponds and deep sea trenches. And their capabilities can be harnessed to generate power. For us, this was very intriguing. Is there a way to generate electricity by growing bacteria? What if we could create a material that could power our devices and go back to the soil at the end of its use? That’s the idea behind Electric Skin. A Self-Powering Material. Beautiful, growable, compostable. Straddling speculative energy futures and current innovation, we are developing a biomaterial device that can generate electricity using protein nanowires from Geobacter sulfurreducens. These proteins can create an electrical charge using moisture in the air. By building on the research at UMASS, we have so far been able to generate 0.7 Volts, on a tiny surface, the size of your fingertip. Electric Skin is deeply inspired by working with the evolutionary ingenuity of this tiny bacterium. Our vision is of a radically sustainable energy future, where our power generation and our electronics are growable and compostable. Where our devices have a new materiality, complex, textured, and perhaps even alive. Where our energy is grown - Not extracted.

Thank you BDC! Today is the Final day to vote for Nada:)
⚡ Three Years of Work - Now we need your Vote: We've made it to the top Three of @Stars of Science ! The future of electronics is growable and compostable if you help us: 📩 https://lnkd.in/gxUfEjt Nada Elkharashi, MFA and Catherine Euale worked tirelessly to prototype Biovolt, a temperature sensor that powers itself from the humidity in the air. Further funding like the Stars of Science cash prize will allow us to go much further than just a sensor. Watch the episode for a recap of what we have achieved in the show, but first VOTE FOR NADA! https://lnkd.in/d6kFnjaP Sequoia Fischer Paige Perillat-Piratoine What Design Can Do REBBLS The Biomimicry Institute Pandorahub WORTH Partnership Project Biodesign Challenge Biofabricate

Some shots of our prototypes, and an interview by the team at What Design Can Do 👁 There's still time today to vote for our colleague Nada Elkharashi, MFA representing us on Stars of Science, so please vote now if you haven't: https://lnkd.in/gxUfEjt
“We believe that our electronic future is grown, not extracted,” say material designers Catherine Euale and Paige Perillat-Piratoine. Earlier this year, they became winners of the #RedesignEverythingChallenge with Electric Skin, a project that pioneers the use of bacteria in technological applications. ⚡ Working within a multidisciplinary team that includes designer Nada Elkharashi, MFA and biologist Sequoia Fischer, the duo are currently developing electrical sensors and batteries that will be partially growable and compostable. The hope is that one day, this innovation could reduce the need to mine for critical minerals, and even rethink our relationships with the devices we use every day. Learn more about their trailblazing research, and how it fits into their vision of a “more-than-human world” — in our brand new interview 👉 https://bit.ly/3Aa4TS8

So happy to be spreading our ideas in so many places 🙏
This past 27th of September I had the opportunity to attend What Design Can Do #WDCDMXGNP alongside the faculty of Art, Design and Architecture DADA IBERO Puebla Adriana Quiroz Hernández In this 5th edition of #WDCDMXGNP some of the topics discussed were climate change, gender inequality, economic inequality, colonialism of design thinking among others. All of this intertwined in how we should implement PLAYING inside our own professional field to come up with creative solutions in this constant changing world 🙏🌎♻️ of course everything pulled by our current main topics circularity and sustainability 🙌🏼 Im beyond grateful for having the opportunity of hearing from great minds like Cas Holman Gabriel Fontana Gabriela Carrillo Coral Michelin, PhD Polybion Electric Skin Fernando Laposse TUUX Isla Urbana Ronald Rael among others 🤩 Im beyond impressed and static to have had the chance of getting to know how design is impacting nowadays. This motivates me to keep moving forward and improving myself in the personal projects ahead coming 🙏♻️❤️
