Amplituhedron: A bio-melanin fibre synthesized from soil bacteria for the design of innovative sustainable garments

Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the use of soil to create a substitute textile material in Thailand. It aims to maximise the utilisation of natural resources in response to climate change, thus promoting the concept of living in harmony with nature. A bio-fibre was synthesised from soil bacteria, ensuring that the whole production cycle generated no waste. To highlight the idea of the connection to life cycles, the design incorporated amplituhedrons, patterns of scattered quantum particles, representing the dynamics of cells, which often symbolise the smallest units of life. The final material contained melanin pigments similar to human skin tones, with hues comparable to those of people from Thailand. The proposed technology has applications in fashion design, where it can enhance the aesthetics and self-esteem of individuals. Further, this research can help advance Thailand’s national sustainable development, driving creativity through scientific innovation.
