Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.

Silk Leaf by Julian Melchiorri

Many technological advancements are created for current use, such as smart phones or virtual reality goggles, but there are an equal number of these advancements which are more likely to be used in the future (whether near or distant).

Royal College of Art graduate Julian Melchiorri has created a synthetic biological leaf which can actually absorb “water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen just like a plant”, which Melchiorri suggests could be used by NASA for potential long-term space exploration.

He explains: 

"Plants don’t grow in zero gravity…NASA is researching different ways to produce oxygen for long-distance space journeys to let us live in space. This material could allow us to explore space much further than we can now."

The leaves are made of chloroplasts which are placed in a silk protein matrix. Though not technically a real plant, the synthetic leaves do need light and water to survive. Most importantly, they can actually create oxygen. As Melchiorri states, the outcome of his experiments gave him “the first photosynthetic material that was working and breathing as a leaf does”. Perhaps this technology could be used closer to home too! A large amount of these synthetic biological leaves could help produce oxygen in congested cities, but imagining them on spaceships or even different planets is pretty cool too!

There are many reasons why novelists write - but they all have one thing in common: a need to create an alternative world.
