“Elephant Skin” Mycelium Tiles can cool down buildings

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), in collaboration with bioSEA, a local ecology and biomimicry design firm, have developed an innovative building material inspired by the remarkable heat-regulating properties of elephant skin. These “fungi tiles,” made from mycelium and organic waste, offer a sustainable and energy-efficient approach to keeping buildings cool, particularly in…
