Livingmatter

Livingmatter was a form of synthetic, self-healing material created by Innovation Corp. in the early 2000s. It was a monumental achievement in the field of biomaterials, showcasing unparalleled potential across various industries due to its remarkable abilities and adaptability.

Creation and properties

Livingmatter was derived from biomolecules and engineered for its self-healing and self-perpetuating properties. The process, involving biotechnology, enabled the material to actively interact with its environment, making it adaptable, robust, and versatile. It could be used for structural support, power generation, or data processing, thanks to its superconductive capability.

Applications

Upon being introduced to the world, Livingmatter quickly became the centerpiece of various projects, with countless industries benefiting from its unique properties:

  • Architecture: Buildings and infrastructures became stronger and more adaptable to changes in their environment.
  • Transportation: Vehicles were made lighter and more efficient, leading to an increase in fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
  • Aeronautics: Aircraft and satellites were reinforced with exceptionally strong and lightweight Livingmatter components.
  • Energy: Superconducting Livingmatter led to improvements in power transmission and storage, thus enabling a more sustainable and reliable energy infrastructure.
  • Space exploration: Shuttles, modules, and stations utilized Livingmatter due to its remarkable adaptability and resilience in extreme environments.

Social and cultural impact

With the rise of Livingmatter, new movements such as Biosyncretism emerged; these promoted the harmonious fusion between humanity and nature. Initially viewed as radical, this ideological shift became widespread, influencing social norms, values, and aesthetics.

Economic and political impact

Livingmatter had a profound economic and political impact, as it created new industries and disrupted existing economies. National and jurisdictional boundaries around its production and distribution became highly contentious as economic interests collided with ethical considerations.

As Livingmatter became increasingly prevalent, new policies and regulations were introduced to govern its production and use. Challenges arose in patents, intellectual property rights, and international standards, while the implications of artificial biological material became a topic for debate within society.

Scientific and technological outlook
