The fungus drone that grows and melts itself
Published on Dec 28, 2014
This Bio-Drone can grow itself from just a tiny amount of fungus or bacteria and will melt itself into a puddle of sugar when its done. It's made of materials like mycelium, a mushroom-like material, cellulose, silver circuitry. If it were to crash somewhere in the environment, it would be less environmentally impactful than a standard drone, but what else is it capable of? What would you use a bio-drone to do? Kim Horcher, Grant Imahara (Mythbusters, Star Trek Continues), and Jenna Busch (Legion of Leia) discuss!
