Yep, Alpha Fold 3.
With David Baker and Demis Hassabis, their AI folding for proteins.
Protein folding.
This is a great question.
What can you do uniquely in the zero-g environment that you can't do on Earth?
And that hits on kind of the fundamental principles that you want to think about when you're saying, what can you only do in space?
You have no convection.
So hot air is not rising, cool air is not sinking.
You have no sedimentation, nothing sinking down.
And for a lot of biological biotech processes, that's huge to get rid of sedimentation
Do you have a bottle?
I feel like someone's got to give you a bottle of that.
Yeah, so what can you do?
So you don't have any convection.
You don't have sedimentation.
And then you have things that we typically think of as a difficulty, but in space can be a feature, not a bug.
So use the vacuum or use radiation to do something.
Oh, wow.
