Technology transference potential: Travel from high risk locations of known virus and pathogen spread: Targeting commercial airlines

Airline tray tables have been identified as high risk

carriers of e-coli bacteria. Inhaling recycled air isn’t

good, what you touch can be worse.



Existing tray tables come in a variety of sizes including embossed

depressions for drinking cups. Airlines have already begun to use

these surfaces to apply 3rd party ad-com messaging

How do we take “smart textiles” and create table top surfaces to neutralize existing bacterial hazards plus new infectious diseases? !Can a “smart surface” application discolour leaving a signature the passenger is infected with something more severe then everyday surface germs?

It remains to be seen whether astronauts will actually get to Mars by 2020 (NASA's stated goal), but if they do, they'll probably look better doing it. In the 40 years that humans have been traveling in space, they haven't changed suits. That is, astronauts have always worn gas-pressurized outfits that are bulky, heavy and motion-limiting. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on a sartorial solution, a sleek BioSuit of nylon and spandex that looks more like something Spider-Man might wear. The focus is on improved mobility, said Dava Newman, a professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. The current spacesuits are OK for astronauts when they are, say, working on a solar panel of the International Space Station, but they are impracticably clunky for planetary ramblings. “It's a whole different ballgame when we go to the moon or Mars, and we have to go back to walking and running or loping,” Newman said.

Dava Newman models her Biosuit--a sleek

spacesuit that relies on mechanical counter-

pressure instead of using gas pressurization.

Known as the pirarucu in Brazil and the paiche in Peru, this South America giant is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. Some reach lengths of more than 10 feet (3 meters) and weigh upward of 400 pounds (180 kilograms). Large megafish like these have become rare worldwide due to heavy fishing.

Also known as the paiche or the pirarucu, the arapaima is an air-breathing fish that plies the rain forest rivers of South America's Amazon Basin and nearby lakes and swamps. One of the world's largest freshwater fish, these giants can reach 9 feet (2.75 meters) long and weigh up to 440 pounds (200 kilograms). They have a wide, scaly, gray body and a tapered head. Though arapaimas can stay underwater for 10 to 20 minutes, they tend to remain near the water's surface, where they hunt and emerge often to breathe with a distinctive coughing noise. They survive mainly on fish but are known to occasionally grab birds close to the water's surface. The arapaima's proximity to the water's surface make it vulnerable to human predators, who can easily target them with harpoons. Some indigenous communities consume the arapaima's meat and tongue and collect its large scales, which are fashioned into jewelry and other items.

The Amazon's seasonal floods have become part of the arapaima's reproductive cycle. During low-water months (February to April) arapaimas construct bottom nests and females lay eggs. Young begin to hatch as rising water levels provide them with flood conditions in which to flourish. Adult males play an unusual reproductive role by incubating tens of thousands of eggs in their mouths, guarding them aggressively and moving them when necessary. While this giant fish's habitat is relatively unmolested, overfishing has become a serious problem, and some South American authorities have attempted to enact protections.

Piranhas: Extreme carnivorous fish

Piranhas have a reputation as ferocious predators that hunt their prey in schools. Recent research, however, which "started off with the premise that they school as a means of cooperative hunting", discovered they are timid fish that schooled for protection from their own predators, such as cormorants, caimans, and dolphins. Piranhas are "basically like regular fish with large teeth".[9]

Engineers Find Inspiration for New Materials in Piranha-proof ArmourIt’s a matchup worthy of a late-night cable movie: put a school of starving piranha and a 300-pound fish together, and who comes out the winner? The surprising answer—given the notorious guillotine-like bite of the piranha—is Brazil’s massive Arapaima fish. The secret to Arapaima’s success lie in its intricately designed scales, which could provide “bioinspiration” for engineers looking to develop flexible ceramics.

The inspiration for this study came from an expedition in the Amazon basin that Marc Meyers, a professor at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, took years ago. The mechanical and aerospace engineering professor immediately wondered at the Arapaima’s armor-like protective scales. How could it live in piranha-infested lakes, where no other animals could survive? Meyers and colleagues set up a lab experiment that pits piranha against Arapaima by using a machine that resembles an industrial-strength hole punch. Piranha teeth were attached to the top “punch,” which was pressed down into Arapaima scales embedded in a soft rubber surface (which mimics the soft underlying muscle on the fish) on the lower “punch.” The teeth can partially penetrate the scale, but crack before they can puncture the muscle, Meyers and colleagues demonstrate in the journal Advanced Biomaterials.

The Arapaima scale combines a heavily mineralized outer layer with an internal design that helps the scale resist the pirahna’s razor-like bite. The mix of materials is similar to the hard enamel of a tooth deposited over softer dentin, said Meyers, who also teaches nanoengineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering “You often find this in nature, where you have something hard on the outside, but it rides on something softer that gives it toughness.” A close-up of two Arapaima scales,

overlapping as they would in nature.

It’s a combination that engineers would like to reproduce for applications such as soldiers’ body armour, which needs to be both tough and flexible. Other applications might include fuel cells, insulation and aerospace designs. Meyers is an expert in biomimetics, the study of natural materials from living organisms and the processes that produce them. He says that engineers are pursuing biomimetics because “we are hitting a wall, so to speak” with conventional materials and syntheses. !“We have used our ingenuity to the maximum, but one way to overcome that is to look at nature,” Meyers suggested. “The materials that nature has at its disposal are not very strong, but nature combines them in a very ingenious way to produce strong components and strong designs.”

Lessons from the Arapaima’s scales !In the case of the Arapaima, the ingeniously designed scales serve as peace through strength, allowing them to coexist with piranha when the two are crowded into Amazon basin lakes during the region’s dry season. The Arapaima experiments, some of which were also published in The Journal of the Mechanical Behaviour of Biomedical Materials, suggest a few lessons for bio-inspired engineers: !Mix it up: The combination of hard and soft materials, the researchers note, give the scales several ways to repel the bite. The scales overlap like shingles on the fish, and each scale has a “very hefty mineralized layer on top of it,” Meyers said. Underneath, each scale is composed of much softer collagen fibres stacked in alternating directions like a pile of plywood. The external surface is twice as hard as the internal layer, giving the fish a layer of dense armour. At the same time, the structure of the internal layer lends toughness to the scale. “As you stack the layers of fibres in this way,” Meyers explained, “they have different orientations, which gives strength that is the same in all directions.” !Texture is key: People living in the Amazon sometimes use the ridged Arapaima scales (which can be nearly four inches in length) as nail files. The corrugated surface keeps the scales’ thick mineralized surface intact while the fish flexes as it swims. Ceramic surfaces of constant thickness are strained when forced to follow a curved surface, but the corrugations allow the scales to “be bent more easily without cracking,” Meyers said.

Freedom to move: The corrugations, the soft but tough internal layer and the hydration of the scales all contribute to their ability to flex while remaining strong. It’s an engineering solution that lets the fish remain mobile while heavily armoured, and also allows the scales to bend and deform considerably before breaking.

What’s next? !From the abalone shell to the toucan’s beak, Meyers said, the natural world is replete with inspiration for 21st century materials scientists. One of his next projects will involve the scales of the alligator gar, a huge fish from the American South whose scales were used by Native Americans as arrow tips. He recently received some samples from Louisiana artist Dianne Ulery, who makes jewelry from the ivory-coloured, arrowhead-shaped scales. !Students in his lab also are working on abalone shells and samples of leatherback turtle skin obtained from the National History Museum in San Diego, among other species. In some respects, the field of biomimetics is a return to the roots of manufacturing, Meyers suggested, when early humans crafted from leather, bone and wood. “We’ve produced materials with much higher performance, but we’re reaching the limit with synthetic materials,” he noted. “Now we are looking back at those natural materials and asking, ‘how does nature put these things together’?”
