Salt grain size cameras have great potential to spot problems in the human body and enable sensing for super-small robots. Enabled by a joint design of the camera’s hardware and computational processing.
While a traditional camera uses a series of curved glass or plastic lenses to bend light rays into focus, the new optical system relies on a technology called a metasurface, which can be produced much like a computer chip.

Certification strategies are gaining widespread customer support and constitute an important vector in changing how food will be obtained and distributed in the future.
Third-party certification (TPC) differs from first and second party certification mainly because the third-party authority that issues the certificate has no interest in the transaction.
Third-Party Certification of Agri-Food Supply Chain Using Smart Contracts and Blockchain Tokens is a paper that answers this research questions: RQ1: “Is it possible to establish a harvest TPC mechanism with tamper-resistant certificates easily available to anyone, even previously unknown food supply chain stakeholder via mobile devices?” RQ2: “If one such mechanism is possible, who will carry the data input and maintenance costs? In other words, how will each stakeholder be incentivized to use this mechanism?” RQ3: “If one such mechanism is possible, what would be the typical time for the response to a certification query, in other words what quality of service can be expected by the end consumer?”
New 6GW green hydrogen project in Australia eyes ammonia export to Japan and Korea.
The Moolawatana Renewable Hydrogen Project will combine about 3GW of wind and 3GW of solar with electrolyzers, a desalination plant, and a dedicated H2 pipeline around 500km long to a local port, where the hydrogen will be used to produce green ammonia for export — with Japan and South Korea mentioned as possible destinations
South Australia currently gets 62% of its electricity from wind and solar. It is backed up by some of the world’s largest battery projects, including the 150MW/194MWh Hornsdale Power Reserve.
World´s first project capable of producing green hydrogen from wind in “island mode”
Siemens Gamesa has developed the world’s first project capable of producing green hydrogen from wind, in “island mode”. Distributes it to hydrogen stations in Denmark. A growing number of zero-emission vehicles, such as fuel cell taxis, operate on a 100% green fuel supply.
New Ag-tech Changes the Landscape of Smart Farming. Learn about Precision, digital, and smart farming differences.
The easiest way to understand precision agriculture is to think of it as everything that makes the practice of farming more accurate, optimized, and controlled when it comes to the growing of crops and raising livestock
The essence of digital farming lies in creating value from data
Basically, “smart farming” is applying information and data technologies for optimizing complex farming systems.
Enter the metaverse: the digital future Mark Zuckerberg is steering us toward.
The metaverse will be the successor to the mobile internet. The metaverse is where the physical and digital worlds come together. It is a space where digital representations of people – avatars – interact. Meeting in their office, going to concerts, and even trying on clothes are the possibilities.
Facebook already has a professional version of the metaverse underway: Horizon Workrooms, an app that lets Oculus-wearing workers enter the metaverse of virtual offices and hold meetings.
