What if we no longer manufactured buildings and furniture, but let them grew instead? 🌱🪑

That is exact what designers Eric Klarenbeek and Maartje Dros are doing. They work with living materials such as algae, seaweed, and fungi, combining them with robotics, AI, and more than 20 years of craftsmanship.

On October 24, Klarenbeek & Dros will be at the Next Nature Museum in Eindhoven to talk about their work during the Next Nature Conference 2025. This is an opportunity to experience where this important field is evolving!

A sharp jawline in your dreams? Kim Kardashian’s Skims face wrap promises it while you sleep. But look closer and you’ll see no futuristic invention, just an old medical tool repackaged. Once meant for healing and recovery, it now sits on shelves as a beauty trick. Proof that the future is sometimes simply secondhand.

The boundaries at the intersection of technology and reproduction are constantly being pushed. For example, scientists in Eindhoven are exploring the possibilities of a water-based incubator as an artificial womb for prematurely born babies, and IVF has already been made possible in a mobile laboratory.

Virtual chatbots and AI entities are becoming an increasingly common part of our daily lives. Where they were once mainly used for practical purposes, we now see people forming emotional bonds with digital companions. Some even formalize these connections through a “marriage”.🤖💍

More and more people are switching to natural sunscreen, out of concern about chemical ingredients and cancer. But what does ‘natural’ even mean, when the end product still comes from a laboratory? 🧴☀️

Imagine a giant sunshade floating high above the Earth, blocking a small portion of sunlight. It may sound like science fiction, but scientists are seriously exploring whether this idea could help cool the planet temporarily. A recent study now suggests a surprising location for such a sunshade: the upper stratosphere, about 50 kilometers above the ground!☀️🌍️

The ocean now holds as much plastic as life 🌊🧴🪣

Research shows that our oceans are not only filled with microplastics, but also with even smaller particles: nanoplastics. This discovery is remarkable, as it helps explain where most of the “missing” plastic has gone.

For millions of years, life on Earth evolved through natural selection alone. But humans introduced a new force: artificial selection. Now, as technologies develop faster than biology can adapt, the rules are shifting once again.
