Edible packaging from sea weed. đ
The plastic-like seaweed packaging made by Notpla is biodegradable within six weeks, compared to hundreds of years for synthetic plastics.
* Unsecured home security cameras hijacked * Stolen images circulate on Discord * Everyone needs to take IoT security more seriously.
In Singapore itâs not at all uncommon today for people to have IP cameras all over their homes.
And, of course, the more people who installed internet-connected cameras throughout their private residences the more you would be considered odd if you hadnât jumped on the bandwagon, and put cameras in your living room, kitchen, bedroom, sometimes even with a view of even more private areas of your house.

A look at the application of fluctuating magnetic fields, especially the Cells Alive System (CAS), in food refrigeration.
In Switzerland researchers are trying to help tackle the food waste challenge using nanotechnology.
IKEA Poland has gathered a multidisciplinary team to imagine how we can integrate a more eco-friendly lifestyle into our future homes. In the centre of Szczecin, Poland, the results are showcased in the Home of Tomorrow â a spacious, plant-filled living environment where visitors can get inspired on how to turn their own homes into healthier and more sustainable spaces.
Autonomous tractors for farming.
OSAKA â Kubota has partnered with U.S. chipmaker Nvidia to develop highly sophisticated self-driving farm tractors, the Japanese machinery maker said Tuesday.
The tractors will be equipped with Nvidia graphics processing units and artificial intelligence, coupled with cameras to instantly process collected data.

It looks like our food for the future will be bugs. A factory in France will grow bugs as a food source.
Enter the insects. Or, more appropriately in this case, enter Ćžnsect, the French company with big ambitions to help change the way the world eats. Ćžnsect raised $125 million in Series C funding in early 2019, and at the time already had $70 million worth of aggregated orders to fill. Now theyâre building a bug-farming plant to churn out tiny critters in record numbers.
Youâve probably heard of vertical farms in the context of plants; most existing vertical farms use LED lights and a precise mixture of nutrients and water to grow leafy greens or other produce indoors. They maximize the surface area used for growing by stacking several layers of plants on top of one another; the method may not make for as much space as outdoor fields have, but can yield a lot more than you might think.

After several other plastic eating enzymes have been discovered, a super enzyme further increases the speed at which it eats plastic.
The next decade is going to be a transforming decade as many many technologies (some of which we all like to share in this group) are converging and maturing enough to rearrange our society in almost any aspect we can conceive.
Iâm calling to those who are interested in creating and implementing an alternative model for the current social and governance systems, letâs build an open state that we can all support and trust regardless of our age, sex, geographical location, or belief system.
In the next 10 years, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectorsâinformation, energy, food, transportation, and materialsâthat underpin our global economy. We need to make sure the disruption benefits everyone.
The bacteria cocktail eats plastic six times faster than any other bug.
A newly discovered âsuper-enzymeâ could finally mean effective recycling of plastic bottles and other materials, scientists say. The plastic-eating bacteria can digest plastic six times faster than current methods of chemically breaking it down.
