Lockheed Martin looks to biodesign new materials from microbes

Lockheed Martin is turning to the littlest factories imaginable to develop a new generation of advanced materials. Working under a US$10 million, five-year contract called the Self-Assembly of Nanostructures for Tunable Materials, the aerospace giant in cooperation with the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) will develop ways to bioengineer the DNA in single-cell organisms as a way to create new materials with an emphasis on defense optical technology and coatings...
