MIT’s "living floor" alerts to health risks: embedded DNA nanobots detect fall frequency to assess osteoporosis with 90% accuracy of medical CT scans. Tokyo Olympic Village’s energy-harvesting floors generate 2.1kWh daily via piezoelectric footsteps—powering exhibition lighting for 12 hours. London’s "memory floor" mesmerizes: visitor footprints transform into midnight projections of dynamic forests. Merging timber with AI, energy tech, and biotech, this ancient material evolves into the neural network of future living.
