Are Vertical Farms Sustainable?
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2023 Today, cities are growing—taking up more space and filling up with more people. The growth of cities reduces the Earth’s natural resources and the amount of land available for farming. As Earth’s population grows, food production must increase so that everyone will have enough to eat. Vertical farming is a type of farming that can be done within cities,

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A multivalent DNA nanostructure‐enabled lateral flow assay was developed for rapid, ultrasensitive detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) nucleocapsid protein. Designer net‐shaped DNA nanostructures (DNA‐Net) presenting PEDV‐specific aptamers achieved ~1000‐fold enhanced binding, enabling detection of viral copies with Ct ≤ 37.42 within 10

Vertical Farming using Smart Farming
INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 2023 Nutrient content (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) monitoring in soils is essential for the proper use of fertilizers to minimize the environmental impact of wrong pattern fertilization practice. Collecting samples from different locations and laboratory testing takes longer and costs a lot.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gonzalez Martinez and collaborators develop a strategy to formulate high performance GelMA‐based bioinks with low solids contents. The resulting bioinks enable 3D bioprinting at 37 °C of high‐fidelity structures with tunable mechanical properties that support high cell viability and function.
