A greenhouse automation system can’t afford to make mistakes, because losing control of a single crop is prohibitively expensive.

Cell-based milk, similar to cell-based meat, doesn’t need the animal—saving water and producing a lot less greenhouse gas too.

Consumers may discard the stems of mushrooms when they prepare salads, or use them in cooking, but startup Chinova Bioworks has found a way to make use of the fibrous stems of white button mushrooms.

A startup company seems to have a suitor: A natural coating from cellulose that can be recycled along with the packaging

UV sterilization technology works successfully in water treatment plants and HVAC systems, but milk and juices too?

Take the temperature of a moving fluid inside a pipe without inserting a temperature probe, and get an accurate measurement through the external pipe temperature? You’ve got to be kidding. Is this some kind of a joke?

Danfoss and Florida State University have announced a multi-year collaboration in which Danfoss will fund scholarships and provide research opportunities for faculty and students at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, the joint engineering institution for Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU). The 5-year agreement establishes the Danfoss FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Fund with a $750,000 commitment from Danfoss.

Robotics systems lately have developed a soft touch to pick up delicate foods without damaging them, and there have been a lot of developments in the grippers themselves to handle these fragile products. However, these grippers can’t do it alone.

While most food processors aren’t yet relying only on plants for protein sources, the tools now exist to make more sustainable use of animals as food sources, and highly nutritious ones at that.

When you think of conveyors, you think of conventional pulley-driven or drum-motor powered designs, however, this system uses small motors geared to the belt’s edge.
