Glossary

Material innovation refers to the development or novel application of materials that offer new functionalities, improved performance, or enhanced sustainability compared to conventional materials. It encompasses the creation of new materials, the modification of existing ones, or the reinterpretation of traditional materials in unexpected ways.

This innovation can occur through scientific breakthroughs, technological advancements, or creative experimentation, and often intersects with fields like materials science, design, engineering, and sustainability.

Morphology refers to the form, structure, and arrangement of parts within an organism, material, or system. In both biology and design, morphology is concerned with the shape, patterns, and spatial relationships that define how something is constructed and how it functions.
