Energy associated with ocean currents can be captured, just like wind currents can with wind turbines. Ocean turbines can be fixed to the seabed, or float nearer the surface with moorings attached to the seafloor. No one technology has yet emerged as a clear winner, but this Japanese turbine, which has been in development and testing for many years is clearly still in the race. After successful recent trials, the company is set to scale up to a 2 megawatt unit. https://www.sciencealert.com/japan-s-dropping-a-kaiju-sized-turbine-into-the-ocean-to-fish-for-limitless-energy
An experimental cancer-killing virus (Vaxinia) has been administered to a human patient for the first time, with hopes the testing will ultimately reveal evidence of a new means of successfully fighting cancer tumors in humans. Co-developers of the oncolytic virus drug are the City of Hope cancer care and research center in Los Angeles and Australia-based biotech company Imugene. The trial is for two years.Previous research has shown the drug can harness an animal immune system to hunt and destroy cancer cells. Another monocolytic virus drug T-VEC (Talimogene laherparepvec) is used to treat melanoma in humans.Article: https://www.sciencealert.com/first-patient-in
Hotels expect to throw away food, budgeting 3 - 5% of their purchasing costs to waste. But a company in Singapore found waste levels closer to 25%, with much of that before food even makes it to a customers plate. By using AI to track food waste, Lumitics, can help chefs better predict food needs, provide real-time feedback on menu changes, spot if trimmings are effective (meat, avocados and more), all so purchasing patterns can be more accurate. Saving money and saving tonnes of food waste from going to landfill and adding to GHG emissions. https://lumitics.com/tailored-to-the-fb-industry/
