Great and exciting innovation from MicroTau, the company that is trying to “solve human problems with natures surfaces”. MicroTau, an advanced manufacturing company utilises nature's already existing unique and practical surfaces to be able to directly print biomimetic patterns to surfaces, think anti-reflective moth eyes for example. Their microfabrication has been utilised so far in industries such as aviation, shipping, healthcare and aerospace. By mimicking low-drag shark skin "riblets" in microfabrication the company has been able to exhibit a 7% drag reduction and combat fuel burn for the US Airforce.

The super-seaweed product mentioned in this column last week - has won The InnovationAus 2021 Awards for Excellence. Asparagopsis taxiformis is a red algae, native to Australia. It reacts with vitamin B12 during digestion, and effectively removes most of
the methane caused by the fermentation of plant matter in the animal’s
stomach - thus substantially reducing the methane emissions from livestock. The Tasmanian producer, Sea Forest - produces the feed supplement. Congratulations to company principal, Sam Elsom. https://www.innovationaus.com/innovationaus-2021-awards-for-excellence-sea-forest-wins-the-food-agriculture-award/
