Israeli food-tech startup Finally Foods has developed the world’s first genetically engineered potatoes containing cow-milk protein, a breakthrough that could revolutionize dairy production.

The company, part of Strauss Group’s The Kitchen food-tech incubator, is set to launch its first field trial next month in southern Israel, where the modified potatoes will be cultivated.

Once harvested, the potatoes will be processed to extract casein protein powder, a key component in dairy production. Casein, which makes up 80% of milk proteins, is essential for cheese-making and provides melting, stretching and foaming properties in dairy products.

The key to this development is an AI-powered streaming method. By decoding brain signals directly from the motor cortex – the brain’s speech control center – the AI synthesizes audible speech almost instantly.

“Our streaming approach brings the same rapid speech decoding capacity of devices like Alexa and Siri to neuroprostheses,” said Gopala Anumanchipalli, co-principal investigator of the study.

Anumanchipalli added, “Using a similar type of algorithm, we found that we could decode neural data and, for the first time, enable near-synchronous voice streaming. The result is more naturalistic, fluent speech synthesis.”

Such findings wouldn’t have been possible using the traditional resistivity approach. “We demonstrate that the magneto-thermopower detection of fractional quantum Hall states is more sensitive than resistivity measurements,” the researchers note.

“Overall, our findings reveal the unique capabilities of thermopower measurements, introducing a new platform for experimental and theoretical investigations of correlated and topological states in graphene systems, including moiré materials,” Ghahari concluded.

Hopefully, these findings will help us realize the true potential of the FQH effect. However, whether the same approach could be used to detect other exotic quantum states remains to be explored through further research.

These nano-PeLEDs feature pixel lengths as small as 90 nanometers, enabling an unprecedented pixel density of 127,000 pixels per inch (PPI). For comparison, a typical 27-inch 4K gaming monitor has a pixel density of just 163 PPI.

“Making electronic devices smaller is an everlasting pursuit for scientists and engineers,” said Professor Di Dawei, Deputy Director of the International Research Center for Advanced Photonics at Zhejiang University.

He explained that while micro-LEDs based on III-V semiconductors are considered state-of-the-art, their efficiency drops sharply when pixel sizes fall below 10 micrometers – a limitation that has hindered their use in ultra-high-resolution displays.
