The examples she gave of incubator graduates was mind-boggling: An irrigation system based on the structure of a giraffe’s neck, a way to eliminate pharmaceuticals in water, crystal nanotubes that reduce EV charging time to a couple minutes, plastics made from methane. We take a cue from nature, where there is no waste. The problem?
