Ecosystems shaped by habitat-forming species, including peatlands, coastal vegetation, and reefs, provide vital services but are declining worldwide. Restoration is challenging because ecosystem health depends on self-facilitation driven by emergent traits that arise only in sufficiently large and dense groups. Our biodegradable structures can temporarily mimic these traits to enhance restoration. Here we apply an ecology-meets-engineering approach to design ecosystem-specific mass-producible structures for large-scale use.

We created Nano Hybrids to address the challenges of nanoparticle development and production. Our first patented technology focuses on metal-based core-shell nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are composed of a central core material encased in one or more outer shell layers. They combine the unique properties of each component to enhance performance and support the development of new solutions in applications like sensing, medicine, and materials science. Nano Hybrids’ core-shell nanoparticles are based on a metallic core with a first metal oxide shell, and potentially a second functional shell made of (bio)molecules, MOFs, or polymers.
