TL magazine and Thomas Ugo Ermacora will be hosting a workshop at 100% Materials, titled &#8216;The Forbidden Kingdom of Fooding&#8217;. 
Nowadays people do not realise that many processed foods contain insects and that therefore, without their consent or knowledge, they actually consume a fair amount of insect protein. Currently, over a thousand species of insects [...]]]></description>

Two German scientists, Juergen Pfitzer and Helmut Naegele, have created a new material called Arboform which is a renewable plastic with wood-like qualities, yet can be formed into any shape. Arboform is made from lignin-a byproduct of the paper-making process. When combined with resins and flax, it forms a bio-plastic mass that looks and feels [...]]]></description>

Processes are an equally inspiring area for designers to explore. Here we list a few examples that have caught our eye lately.

The clue is in the name with this process – perhaps best described as an updated version of medieval chainmail body armour, Kaynemaile pulls off an impressive manufacturing ‘trick’ in that it makes it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Composites
The idea of a composite is simple enough – take two or more materials and combine them in a new, super-material with much better properties than the ingredients on their own. It’s not a new idea – already thousands of years ago, mud and straw was combined to make adobe bricks. Since then, mud has [...]]]></description>

Multi-sensory materials

The traditional approach to impact protection was to add more and more layers of heavy armour – just take a walk around the arms and armour collection in London’s V&#038;A Museum for a display of backbreaking panoplies. But as materials evolve, so have impact protection. In Ingredients 3 (download it from www.moreingredients.com) we featured some [...]]]></description>
