Does the texture and porosity of machine knit fibers affect moisture retention and, consequently, organism survival? How can we integrate organisms into knit materials as a strengthened composite material with regenerative properties?

Process photos and growth trials from this semester. Including composite material agar bioplastic-biospheres, cultivating organisms on clear monofilament machine knit fibers, an inspired workspace, fittings, AI powered interface websites, and setting up microcontroller circuits to measure temp/humidity for each growth case and graphing the resulting average data sets.
