This project investigates the mechanisms of silica formation in diatoms, aiming to unlock the secrets of biomineralization. By using advanced imaging techniques, it seeks to understand the cellular processes involved, with potential applications in creating environmentally friendly nanomaterials for various industries.
Organisms evolved the ability to form a magnificent array of functional materials, which surpass any man-made product. A prominent example is diatoms, marine microalgae that form an intricate cell-wall made of meso-porous silica.
Diatom silica is a tough, hierarchically built, and biocompatible material that is environmentally friendly and cheap, making it an exciting target for nanotechnology.
Nevertheless, the principles of this regulated formation mechanism remain elusive.A persistent obstacl…
