Our devices and machines, from our phones to our cars, are designed for very specific purposes. And they are not cheap. Yet a dropped phone or a crashed vehicle could mean the end of it, or at the very least an expensive repair bill. For the most part, that isn’t the case with our bodies. Biological materials have an unparalleled ability to sense, process, and respond to their environment in real-time. “As humans, if we cut our skin or if we fall, we’re able to heal,” says Raman.
