The Rise of Digital Biotech We often think of biotechnology as petri dishes, microscopes, and the faint hum of laboratory equipment. Yet today, some of the most transformative experiments in biology happen not in the lab but on a screen. Digital biotechnology is the new frontier where code meets cells and algorithms meet anatomy. It is the art of translating the language of life into data that machines can read, understand, and even predict. In Scandinavia, this field is beco

A Discovery Hidden in Ash Sometimes, the most hopeful thing in science isn’t a rocket launch or a new AI model. It’s something so small you could fit a million of it on the head of a pin. In a volcanic field in California, a team of researchers studying soil microbes made a quiet but extraordinary discovery. Buried in the ash and rock was a bacterium capable of doing something we’ve spent billions trying to replicate: it pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and turns it
