Scientists in Italy have developed a way of turning rattan wood into bone that is almost identical to the human tissue. Although still only a laboratory technique could the findings one day lead to non-medical uses for this bone?

The speculation prior to the link might also suggest the work being done by selected individuals at the Bartlett. The idea has not only been promulgated via aesthetic deliberations via Tobias Klein from Unit20, but also on the grounds that the chemistry behind such biologically advanced materials will in fact be a serious option to extant-terrestrial building materials. See also Dr. Rachel Armstrong. Heavily biased, I would also reference issue AD: NeoPlasmatic Design, edited by Dr. Marcos Cruz.
thanks for the bbc link.
