Scenario prompts are the first step in strategy development. Topics to consider are mimicking mussels, the future of manufacturing, tech trends, diamond data storage, DNA data storage, double action solar, mushrooms, cyber risks, artificial skin, Amazon and Berkshire, replacing root canals and harvesting atmospheric water from air with solar power.
How exposed are you to cyber risks?
This material mimics mussels to connect living and non-living tissue
The resulting substance is strong when it needs to be but can also let go to release the two tissues when their connection is no longer required.
