  • Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.

    Also I’m double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.












  • Wow it’s really cool, there’s potential to do many things, such as making a processor chip based on proteins instead of silicon. Obviously not for replacing current CPUs but to do analog computing - the kind of computing that both artificial AND natural intelligence do - with really low power. According to the experiments, 1/10th of the voltage (about 0.1V), which means 1/100 of the power since power comes from voltage squared.

    As many other cool things we see in spectrum and nature magazines, this is very very far from being a start up and I may never hear from this topic ever again. But it’s dang cool how they found a bacteria that produces conductive wires from proteins.
