Air Protein Makes Steaks By Recycling Carbon Dioxide

Agriculture makes up a quarter of our annual greenhouse gas emissions with meat production being responsible for the most in the industry. As the climate crisis worsens, populations rise and resources dwindle, researchers have been urgently searching for alternative, more sustainable proteins. Enter Air Protein, a California-based startup on a mission to transform carbon dioxide into meat. Founded in 2019 by former physicist Lisa Dyson …

MIT Scientists Turn Amino Acids Into Music

Expanding upon previous projects that laid the foundation for making music from amino acid chains, MIT scientists can now use their process to create never-before-seen proteins—especially ones with beneficial properties. Using amino acids as notes, and artificial intelligence to turn them into chords, scientists can craft proteins based on frequencies and patterns that they can hear, and lean into rhythms or loops that lend proteins …
