Building Biofoundry India: challenges and path forward21 July, 2021Posted in:Uncategorized-Binay Panda, Pawan K Dhar Abstract Biofoundry is a place where biomanufacturing meets automation. The highly modular structure of a biofoundry helps accelerate the design-build–test–learn workflow to deliver products fast and in a streamlined fashion. In this perspective, we describe our efforts to build Biofoundry India, where we see the facility add a substantial value in

Taika-robotti on Kauppakeskus Triplan ahkera ruokalähetti. "Kun robotti liikkuu jossain, näkee usein vain hymynaamoja ympärillä", kertoo VTT:n Taru Hakanen lapsiperheiden suosikista🤖
Miltä pienreaktori näyttäisi ja mihin käyttöön se sopisi? EcoSMR-kehitystyön tavoitteena on suunnitella suomalaiseen kaukolämpöverkkoon soveltuva 50 megawatin ydinvoimala 👇

Is an automated vehicle capable of avoiding crashes? 🚗💥
We have been developing a Cooperative Collision Avoidance application for automated vehicles in 5G networks together with TNO and KPN 👏 The system was tested in Netherlands, check out from the video how it went 👇
Mistä kulutuksen ilmastovaikutukset muodostuvat? Onko kulutuspäätöksillä vaikutusta ilmastonhillinnässä? Aiheesta keskustelevat @AliHarlin1, Ari Nissinen, Anu Seisto ja Hanna Pihkola.
Did you know? These frogs are only poisonous in the wild where they have a special diet of ants and mites. In the lab, their diets keep them toxin free!
We should not wait for technology to advance and instead act now! ✅ New projects are springing up around the globe, but there is still room for more players to get in the mix and a lot of ground to cover with green #hydrogen. Read more: https://t.co/6Ve6dAXlKB
VTT:n ympäristöystävällistä vihreää vetyä tuottava "minivoimalaitos" on mukana finaalissa kisaamassa Suomalaisesta insinöörityöpalkinnosta 🏆 Valtavasti onnea myös @Solar_Foods sekä kaikki hienot finalistit 🧡
