STORY: Chinese scientists mull building "cell factory" of blue-green algae SHOOTING TIME: Jan. 12, 2024 DATELINE: Feb. 1, 2024 LENGTH: 00:01:26 LOCATION: SHANGHAI, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: 1. various of Chinese scientists doing research in the lab 2. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): NI JUN, Researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University 3. various of Chinese scientists doing research in the lab 4. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): NI JUN, Researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University STORYLINE: Chinese scientists are considering building a biological "cell factory" of blue-green algae, in which air is the main raw material and the product is a range of organic compounds. These cells of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, a kind of single-cell microorganism, have been modified using synthetic biotechnologies like gene editing. Featuring high reproduction speed and excellent efficiency of photosynthesis, they "eat" air and can produce organic compounds like glucose, sucrose, glycerol, resveratrol, and curcumin

Explore Industry 4.0 new trend at Hannover Messe

STORY: Explore Industry 4.0 new trend at Hannover Messe DATELINE: June 4, 2022 LENGTH: 00:03:32 LOCATION: HANNOVER, Germany CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of Hannover Messe, the world's leading industrial trade fair STORYLINE: Hannover Messe, the world's leading industrial trade fair, closed its doors in Hannover on Thursday. During the fair this year, Industry 4.0 continued to be the focus of exhibitors. Being more precise, smarter, and more sustainable was how the latest technologies impress visitors. German industrial automation company Festo showcased a bioreactor at the trade fair. The equipment enables the efficient and large-scale photosynthesis of algae, which the company describes as "small climate savers." The device prompts the algae to absorb carbon and produce organic recyclable materials. German startup Aeon Robotics showed to visitors a robotic arm controlled by a unique controller. The wearable force feedback controller allows intuitive teaching of the robot hand by demonstrat
