Earth Observation Technology

Space Edge - an onboard computer for Earth observation satellites that processes images on the satellite as they are collected. We use a mixture of old school remote sensing techniques and modern AI techniques to process raw image data into information, reducing the size of images. This can result in a reduction of 20-1000 times while retaining all the desired information of the original raw image. This frees satellites to return 20 times or more images, allowing a Space Edge equipped satellite to do the work of 20 satellites today.

Great example of more for less.

The Uber of Waste goes National

A 2023 start-up aiming to make recycling convenient and accessible to all is about to go national. The aim is to provide people with a home pick-up option for some of the "trickier" items the normal recycling bins can't handle - including soft plastics. https://wastemanagementreview.com.au/recyclesmart-goes-national/

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
