Stämm Biotech raises $17M for its next-generation, 3D printed bioreactor

TechCrunch

Stämm Biotech , founded in 2014, is developing a desktop-sized bioreactor that looks pretty different from the tanks, tubes and knobs traditionally seen in industrial or even benchtop bioreactors. Instead, it’s developing a unit that 3D prints a dense network of microchannels that pass cells through the nutrients and oxygen they need.

Nanome raises $3 million to help scientists get up close with molecular structures in VR

TechCrunch

Discovery and research of new molecular compounds is an expensive business, with development costs exceeding $10 billion per substance in some cases. Part of that comes from the need to closely examine every relevant molecule, studying its chemical composition and interactions as well as its physical structure at the atomic level.

Android’s facial-recognition future could rely on skin detection

The Parallax

Ingmar Bruder was researching organic photovoltaics—and how to make paint that could absorb sunlight and turn it into electricity—at German chemical giant BASF, when he hit upon an unexpected discovery. In 2015, Bruder launched Trinamix, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF, to develop the technology. READ MORE ON FACIAL RECOGNITION.

The resulting representation is richer and more complex, a more complete picture of a molecule than you’d get from its chemical formula or a stick diagram showing the different structures and bonds. Because in the world of biochemistry, nothing is as simple as a diagram. ” Flagship Pioneering raises $1.1

SunGreenH2’s nano-scale engineering could double green hydrogen production

TechCrunch

It looks a bit chaotic, but the material is carefully engineered to interact with the other chemical components of the electrolysis process (mainly water and a catalyst), and by forming a sort of 3D sponge structure rather than a flat or rough one, it doubles the surface area that reaction can happen on.
