- A new framework is proposed to streamline R&D assessment of food and oral processing technologies by reducing reliance on subjective human sensory studies. This paper presents, for the first time, the design, fabrication and validation of biomimetic surfaces that mimic a human tongue in terms of surface topological feature, mechanical, and tribological properties. A co-authored output with food science, dentistry and computer science academics as part of the ERC Starting Grant ‘LUBSAT–757993’, this study has received attention from international media outlets, including the MailOnline (https://tinyurl.com/y4adx92z) and the BBC World Service (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08wsjbl).
