5 ways plant-based formulations teach us to build better
When Tata Chemicals built a digital twin of their carbonation towers, they weren’t thinking about basil.

That single percentage point improvement in carbonation efficiency generated $400,000 annually. Plants have been optimizing similar processes for millions of years.
