Patagonia Helping to Revolutionize California’s Farms
Thanks to a new $1 million grant from Patagonia outfitters and $1.5 million from the state of California, they are now able to help farmers transition to these alternative agriculture strategies that regenerate soil and biodiversity, with almost all the startup funding covered on their behalf.
Artificial Spider Silk Spins New Possibilities For Medical Treatment
https://scienceblog.com/547963/artificial-spider-silk-spins-new-possibilities-for-medical-treatment/
Spider silk is renowned for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, surpassing even steel in this regard. However, harvesting natural spider silk has proven impractical due to spiders’ territorial and cannibalistic nature. This has led scientists to explore artificial alternatives.
Quantum sensing’s untapped potential: Insights for leaders
Quantum sensing, which allows sensors to collect data at the atomic level, is a tested technology. It has broad applications in commercial products (such as medical devices), in services (such as navigation), and as an enabler of internal processes (such as quality control)—and the technology is already usable.
