12:30 pm
in lodge under kim john but then they disappeared without warning. need to reach to us as a north korean public entity was happens from north korea, which love starts october 25th on d w, the patrick madison. her son is a my college of his research and to funky, focuses on the use of the material of the future. using my celia and the spread like network of phone go roots. he's growing the slips that today he's bringing here to try to tie that. how is the time vironment is crying out for biodegradable materials and that are less energy intensive to produce energy
12:31 pm
intensities. does it to you that he is free such a deep and his fascination with funding? yet let's eat lunch only. boy, you can see a cloudy growth here. so in the pizza, i like to see the fungus fill up the whole dish. so this is the one we'll use. the patrick mona is a plan in even if he likes to use an old fashioned hand cause he's researching the way. funding could change on lines. this industrial area in edmond because a, some of the sun used to be the size of a vist coast 5 of century it was the largest in well in the area until the sun went
12:32 pm
bankrupt in 2009, leaving the ground heavily contaminated, would sink if he wins the remediation contracts, patrick mona intends to solve this contamination problem with funky, the tombstone, typically the state of our planet emissions. the state of the ground is woolfolk, and it's getting worse that a lot of soil is degrading. and it's eluded with heavy metals, especially in urban region. donald, it's all about finding future oriented solutions. patrick moon is facebook foraging. sports is on the other side of the son. here he can gather what he needs, but his work sunday, which could help remediate the contaminated industrial area. the decent, valid copies mission i often came walking in this wood is a child of it's where i grew up 9 fall cities close. my father is also in my
12:33 pm
college just from the research here. a few me gave him of the some vague i learned a lot from his into their cell that he sparked my interest in nature is all been hanging. he'd been up to these mysterious organisms and not the plants, no animals, they form their own kingdom. patrick burn is picky about his mushrooms. he needs special types, the special tasks, the itself gets most today. today i've still got 2 or 3 mushrooms on my wish list for material development into the clue groups. there are 2 or 3 types of bracket. fungus. i'd like to find now to use in my next few months work next and pardon me? oh no. he gets lucky, i'm fine again, no dam, which is just right for his research. he's not keen on the idea of ordering funky on the internet. the low con, locally funky, just work much better in my lab than the thunder you can buy,
12:34 pm
just anywhere. i'm get calls things to see cuz even you will hear. i've never worked out why you can help, but for me that's what works and think so. so she's $99.00. i used to be a joiner. he also studied product design, but now he devotes himself to funky research the, the best finds from his research, a multiply to you in his lab, using a nutrients solution in a petri dish, the women on pets and studies thing. when you talk about funky, most people think of mushrooms, you put them, but that's just the fruit body that grows above the ground, like an apple on a tree, good to 52 teeth. and the root body is the reproductive structure. and the actual funky is the huge network of my sylium in the ground. emboldened bidding. his goal
12:35 pm
is to breed fungal, my ceiling m here in the lab, as it forms the basis of his work. in the audience and all facilitating q 0, this one was in the fridge for 6 months in hibernation, as it were. let me see, can you now it's slowly growing of cool so that i have to intervene and time for it to thrive. that's what we're doing now. and then i found my favorite tight, and then they were all growing uniformly of excel. and i just have a look showing me and my mother and i just recently moved into one of these labs on the edge of the sink contamination area. he wants to remediation he's been turning out preliminary tests for a while. this aquarium allows him to examine the results. the citizenship exchange. you say this reddish layer we see here is the soil heavily contaminated with his ink and hydrocarbons. cornered lots of stuff are healthy for
12:36 pm
different types of funky, which can neutralize and thinking hydrocarbons. so you can call in and also shut off. we're using 2 different types of funky. we've already reduced the pollution levels in half a year and then get into it and he transports the results of his experiment out. tools. these beach logs have been injected with my celia. i'm from king always to mushrooms. it's now growing all over them. the task of the fungus is to absorb as much think as possible and transfers into below the fits me to the so funk of my celia is such a large network, the roots. and it's like the roots of the funky here on the old here on the surface . it looks like a white matter. patrick luna wants to find out which funky works best with which plants and bacteria to reach the best results on the sides of the he's conducting parallel experiments with willow
12:37 pm
plants which have proved successful in similar trials. the trips of the roots deep into a kind of fungal brute, so called liquid my celia, to get as much fungus as possible on the gallon roots. the interaction been work similarly to the beach locks. the vi thank the holdings and seeing the willows extract this thing from the ground, but also what they need the funky to do, so to speak, the funky pass those inc onto the trees to the roots has been done, isn't synchronized on the building authority. what so the trees then concentrated into the leaves and the branches, right then on in can s at least 2000000 spaces of funky, exist worldwide. many living symbiosis with certain tree and bacteria spaces, according to estimates on the one percent is known. so as time yet funky,
12:38 pm
determine important processes in the lives they are increasingly in demand, especially in the biotech sector. the hope is that the new materials based on the phone go my c. m could replace list sustainable materials. the scene of a, from the found who the institute for applied pulling the researching pottstown, has been eagerly awaiting this package. it contains and let the substitute mushroom data that has been dyed and waxed, a set stuff. this is a fungal material i sent for processing. my gosh, the main task was to dye the original color. you already know they did a good job of it or found it could be turned into a hand bag or something similar. so not hunters of what i said off all that kind of scheme of the use. this is fine. fungal threats to create the live up. his goal is to produce it on a large scale substitute live the is an increasingly high demand in the textile
12:39 pm
industry. in the production process, he makes use of a special property of the phone call, my cnn of the fine roots dental grow in the legal way, but in a 3 dimensional jungle forming structure that can hold carriers substrates together . how does that looks good? so the customer will write the pers, approximately, from the screws relatively quickly and doesn't really need any lighting tape and die. we have the idea that we can produce the materials without using too much energy and resources to find much out and has materials, which ideally are recyclable and contribute to the circular economy. it isn't caused. it's not like the usual linear economy way, where you take something, use it, and it throws away. in terms of texture, it's much like animal lives up. this bag is human, the show piece. mushroom and at the products of actually being made from tyndall
12:40 pm
or to fungus for a long time. in romania distribution still exists today, but the material is comparatively red. so production is limited to the wants to change that the, i think that's, that's why you're thinking a bit further on bassoon course. if i want to produce larger quantities. so we can produce more quickly, often that i couldn't see income, but it can take years from this like this to grow until it's finally ready. it's done high english. i'm of the basic formula to the material is simple in a book as we're trying to nutrients such as moodle, serial stats, to the phone, go, my cdm once mixed together, the growth process is triggered. the result is quite remarkable. this is what the strongest length looks like in its full state. it resembles a huge list on you. the level has matured and innovation room of to just 2 weeks. a
12:41 pm
much faster process than with kind of hot unitedhealthcare and it looks pretty good . what kind of that actually flies you can pull it off quite easily. as you can see, one of the size of the substrate to hanging from the mushroom leather slips, tots, the data hang testing data. he's constantly refining the recipe. no, it's up to mom. i've tried a few different substructure combinations, and it's always exciting to find out how it works. this is the amount of it can be easily peeled off. how helpless is probably the material has turned out. it does not have soft or hard. it is too hot on that's always an exciting moment. the mental it's important to honda scene of the that his product is 100 percent organic and the material test the mushroom lives and now has to prove that it's doable stretchable
12:42 pm
and 10 resistant. he's looking to optimize it as much as possible. industry specifications of federal district so it's a good result. we can work with this. yeah. yeah. the sooner the great thing about this work is that so much is still a noun, or you can be experimental one for life and take fun. yes miss, i might discover a fungus that is an ideal as a leather substitute for that is best to go, but it might be able to break down a plastic, for instance, i'm a plastic up on what i was on. so unless there's a lot of potential importance out there is still so much to discuss about funding, new ways of working with them and benefiting from their affects or imagine all the time. for example, in medical research or in agriculture,
12:43 pm
the in the son, patrick luna, is mixing up a special recipe. a victoria material is a hydrogen made from potato starch. this time his fungus will be used in a vineyard where one make his 100 his services. mission mission. here's this 1st i'm mixing the liquid, my ceiling of 12 different types of funky for the find some citibank, together with a hydro channel, which is able to store extremely large quantities of water sitting seems lost at such fashion. at the z and run winery increasing the dry somebody. supposing a big problem for the wine girl is looking for ways to counteract whether extremes calls on the climate process. patrick moon and sprays the my ceiling m solution
12:44 pm
from his live onto the roots of the vines. the idea is that the funky can use the low my see little filaments to drove water and you trans, out of the depth and support the plants in times of drops by your implants. and is this except extremely effective with the young plants having broken in a dry summer when it doesn't rain for 3 or 4 months and that you can say then sometimes up to 30 percent of the plants died. if they don't get enough water phones and was initially can, you can be, they sit there and called in such extreme situations. funky, can provide a balance, the winemaker nor a brush, mutual cause of the winery from his father. when planting the vines, some rose would not mike arise because the liquid joe had run out. the wheels
12:45 pm
a different speed visible on see if you can see a difference very clearly, i would say. and so a lot of them didn't thrive. the leaves are much lower than the others in this plot folder. that's right. because i'd say one in 10 didn't thrive if it's in sales could fall. and yes, then it happens that replanted in plots 18 or 19 months of life. but we didn't think about michael, rising them and even be nice mid august because he didn't get the we can still do it now. holding. that would be great if it's still worth it. i just don't know. let's see. she was skeptical at the beginning, but now nor abroad she made was completely convinced by the phone go. sheila it's, it's all, it's obvious that it's really helped other people. of course, there are lots of other factors that play a role to god. i'm convinced by this whole system. it's been so definitely. so they've been gone since it's the male success for patrick man.
12:46 pm
from tranquil like listen to building micro biologist best to ensure that is another fan of funky. he's found another useful them not yet food. he gained his bachelor's degree and then found at a stop shop. this is the fungus works, just like classic styrofoam is very short resistant. we are making use of its properties and we thought, why don't make a bicycle helmets side of it. some research is one thing. launching a product on the market is a nonsense when it's succeed, bastion to the, develop the project with 2 colleagues at the institute of biotechnology at the technical university, and in a center of funky research assistance of water. this is our incubating report. everything grows is in here, but here we can see the different stages of group this is just being inoculated, and you can see any of the white dish phone go my celia,
12:47 pm
i'm growth yet. don't back hand 5 minutes is going completely after 2 weeks as we see here 5, this is completely white and it's already a solid bias, one team of lucas funding and then passed off to waste agricultural materials on the basis for a home which show once again, the team does focus has proven particularly suitable. he'd go through this substrate for 12 days before being chopped into small pieces the as to how many of us so we have the fractionally shredded my cyliam composite here is some of this long. this is prestone everywhere onto these individual particles, and i fill it in here and then it carries on growing on the next time. you know, if i touch on some food on the fields in the spaces between, within my sylium and at the end, we have us form like material for a helmet. let's try to have the lid is put back on and the dish is put in the incubator room to finish growing for another 2 to 3 weeks.
12:48 pm
the past gene schubert has already gone many of these almost common bad like samples. these slices of fungus will later be used to test the safety of the material that should be 9 to, to soft know, to crumpling. how exactly is the product optimized? the positive is in just we see here that it's slightly whitish oliver does. hatcher ones for us, that means the shock absorbing properties of the fungus are evenly spread. i can shop on how to test almost one rentech for all you have to make sure you do a proper job. so you can produce and sell a product that meets the quality standards opposite credit invest. credits found out all because sometimes bastion cupid works closely with an industrial
12:49 pm
partner. the company use x is interested in his products, and ski helmets are being discussed as well as bicycle helmets, initial tests of search to find the materials excellent impact resistance. but a number of issues still need resolving. stiver fund requires a lot of fossil energy bond. it's water repellent, and durable, fungus based helmet has to compete with that as well. i'm here busted size of here we have a sustainable coating stones, a. so we have already done tests with the coating on our helmet and time to make it whether proof that me to even get tough estimates. um, but we haven't get tested what happens when it comes into contact with sweat for a whole year yet. and then yeah, long sized qualifying booked, but these are all problems we can find solutions to, hopefully not, but that's who gets a, how does lewis on fungal based building materials could massively benefit the environment? the construction industry has an enormous c o 2 footprint. so there's
12:50 pm
a lot of room for improvement. at an international building, competition and booklets hall university teams are presenting environmentally friendly building methods and materials that work is in line with the use green deal, which aims to promote circular economy. professor de cable from the call through institute of technology and his team have come up with a wooden house on stilts, intended as an extension to an existing building. table has been working with fungus space building materials for a long time. the tunnels to sound proofing and installation, for example, diesel bond is this wall is 100 percent suitable for the circular economy. and so you couldn't see either, you can reuse it afterwards and the of all he does, you can chop it up again and add new fun gets bores and anointed support. or you
12:51 pm
can. com posted all, so you couldn't compose to you. so this is how we want to build in future shots, but we don't want to put more pollutants into our environment. going forward, building should be seen as a store of materials operating and cycles that succeeds. it will be the end of our resource problems and put it in the us. the cable hopes that more attention will finally be paid to the many potential uses of funding. in the long term, he's convinced that sustainable building materials can improve the climate balance . is these abundance right, that the potential uses of funky in the future are incredibly wide range. of course, we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now when it comes to understanding, exploring and making use of them. these updates for students who are flushing until since, but some of the cable and his team of working hard to ensure that the environmental targets sit by the e you reached to thanks to their innovative use of fungus they,
12:52 pm
when the building competition info patel, the green view, and this time the green deal actually wants the construction industry to go completely circular by 2050, all these. then we need to do more research to increase the percentage of organic and ground building materials, including fungus, to get to, to why on, there's so few fungus based products on the market so far. best into that and 1000000000 has one possible answer. his helmets with an in a shell of fungus will not be produced for the time being let's go to the site that's applicable was a box at the startup project for now, due to patent problems that boston does. so we knew that patten's exist in this field script, especially from the american company echo of each of on. then we did some research to make sure that these patents are very cetera how we would infringe them. we
12:53 pm
didn't see any way of writing that really phillips and button on down the phones kind of because they ended so again, he has since closed down his style shop function, saying that the payton's already awarded effect almost every development in this field. the payments were like very generally to materials that are self supporting and held together by fungal, my ceiling, and apparently not that my ceiling. know the substrate use to know individual manufacturing steps was specified in more detail. sometimes i find you and i think someone had a very good patent attorney who wrote a very good patent for the company. so yeah, who just attend scheme as of the stuff at 1st glance. it all same super into the tip to someone who isn't very well versed in the subject, putting of a tooth on that. and it did a student complex and bought it, but not just the use the right complex words. and it also has incredibly innovative and relatively specific, but it's only when you knew the subject matter that you realize, okay,
12:54 pm
almost everything is covered by this patent. ok? so fast i left semester and i could access ship it down to the loan with this problem. he sees large parts of the industry affected by it. let's just do everyone who wants to produce my silly encompass it's commercially, has to deal with this. i think global. so it's not as it's a site us. so you either find an agreement or you don't do, it's a tall job with them and less systems i am the, those patents will expire. and if you use some research is fine to sit down before launching their own work. patrick moon is work in switzerland. could also be hunted by existing patents. how does he feel about this 99 and we have to put
12:55 pm
a my opinion on patent and i'll use that. they can hinder innovation, delay innovation. and actually, i think these novel materials should be spread by open source. the all in so 9 yourself and so the way fungus itself spreads as and read this, the pizza house cooling. fortunately moon has spread his risk soil remediation. his 2nd main stay is free of such restrictions. unimportant, amazing is taking place today. scientists from zurich of come to an on site appointment at the industrial wasteland. m a broker to accompany the project. patrick luna and eric cruz, the managing director of disco. squeeze him, appealing ocoee who is jointly responsible for the remediation. explain the situation. one of the month effects you can see that it rains last night. you can see the puddles itself to the biggest sink. contamination is actually in the puddles. this is the g cruz because i mean all to me think
12:56 pm
specialist to the environmental office responsible for the side must now decide how to remediate the aim is to use the funky to lower the contamination levels. the parties involved estimate will take at least 10 years. the project also has financial advantages. if everything goes well, it will cost just interested at the conventional remediation. according to every cruise, you have an office full, we're not planning to build on this area in the next 10 or 15 years. so i thought this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take advantage of this method. thus we owe it to the next generation, but if we do this well here, then it's a job well done. something happened with all the schools come up. it's a specialist agencies get their approval launch, scale willow planting will take place in the willow, subside, fall,
12:57 pm
proven particularly suitable and interaction with the microns or funky. the contamination branches could then be regularly cut off. and that in germany to research projects of already underway to remediate soil with funky, it's best, the best way to fix this problem. i really want the problem to be solved and then because with conventional soil remediation, the problem is that it might be nicely list the venue to ask them to move to say, for areas will continue to work with you, mr. president. or to ensure that these minimal requirements are met and will continue to work together to get our hostages out. as president, the road to victory will be long and hard. but united and purpose and with a deep sense of justice and the young,
12:58 pm
breakable spirit of our soldiers and our people. israel will prevail. thank you, mr. president. thank you. just for a minister waco home offices, pauline terrace, and saw as brutal in you made almost beyond belief. what they did. this cabinet came together and stand the store standing united and i want you to know you're not alone. you're not alone. is that for sized earlier, we will continue to have israel's back, as you were to defend your people for continue to work with you and partners across the region to prevent more tragedy, innocent civilians, 75 years ago, your founders declared that destination would be one based quote, based on freedom,
12:59 pm
justice, and peace based on freedom, justice and peace. united states stands for the defense of that freedom, pursue that justice and supported that peace today. tomorrow and always we promised of the the changes in washington and 4 of us who have just joined us. we're just coming out of
1:00 pm
a press statement by us president joe biden and is really president benjamin netanyahu bite and had just met. they will come in at that and uh, is around that. so a bit more about this is trying to was honestly, did not use a middle east unless funny. you've listened into what they've said, a pretty slim statement that from binding i would say, what do you think, what we're seeing, the same message coming again and again, we need to remember this is also working for the benefits of both leaders. they want to benefit another pelp, the politics behind that for, for burden in the, in the states. this is, after all an election, you're coming in to us. and that's an elf course trying to restate his position. is mr. defense that protector of israel, which was his wish to be, you know, his legacy at the end of as rain and as well. what we do see from by repeatedly again and again. and he said he, he mentioned it again now is not only talking about the fatality, the water,
1:01 pm
the hor, but also the need.
