This week we talk about (1) how scientists are cleaning up rivers using grasses and oysters, (2) Starship, the biggest rocket ever, (3) 6G, the next-generation wireless that calls for out-of-the-box solutions and broad collaboration, (4) driving a robot boat on the other side of the world, (5) how 3D printing could help blind researchers ‘see’ data.
▶ 📧 Welcome to Tenedos
I round up the best articles of the week and send them to a group of people who are as passionate about the world of technology as I am. I do this to keep up with this rapidly changing world. My main areas of interest are emerging technologies, blockchain and the world of innovation in general.

▶ 🔝 Must reads
▶▶ Cleaning up rivers using grasses and oysters
The interesting story of how scientists are restoring aquatic vegetation and beds of mussels and oysters to fight pollution in rivers and creating a strong foundation for healthy ecosystems.
▶▶ Are space scientists ready for the biggest rocket ever?
Starship will be the biggest rocket ever: this article explores the implications of cheaper space transportation in science and research.
▶▶ New 6G challenges inspire cross-disciplinary innovation
6G, the next-generation wireless calls for out-of-the-box solutions and broad collaboration. To make 6G a reality engineers and researchers will have to solve a plethora of problems.
▶▶ Driving a robot boat on the other side of the world
The story of Maxlimer, a 12m robot boat currently mapping the underwater volcano in the Pacific that erupted in spectacular fashion in January 2022.
▶▶ How 3D printing could help blind researchers ‘see’ data
3D-printed lithophanes can help optically impaired scientists “see” data, such as from protein separation gels, with their fingertips.
