Humanity Mission Critical
You can count your nickels until you are blue in the face, but there are certain things we work on to construct a future worth building.
We have made a unanimous decision as a company to contribute to these fields without profit. Energy on earth is largely controlled and driven by money, and these are collective global expressions of what we believe. Actions are louder than words. Our values sometimes align with things that make less money, and there is only one way to change that energetic expression: work on them anyways.
Our partners and collaborators
Autonomous tractors and sensor-controlled hydroponics are already part of our work. The broader question is how growing systems can use less water and energy while keeping soils and ecosystems healthy.
Fusion research has achieved target-level energy gain. Grid electricity still requires efficient drivers, durable materials and sustained operation. Solar and wind raise a parallel systems problem: storage and grid integration.
Genetic variation can change how a person metabolizes a drug. Pharmacogenomics connects that evidence to prescribing. Diagnostic models also need validation across the patients and settings where they will be used.
It's no secret phones are an outdated physical medium. We will soon be wearing goggles or brain interfaces. Let's find a balance that feels human, and contribute to that.
Engineered enzymes can break PET into reusable building blocks in controlled reactors. Applying that work to marine waste brings harder questions about collection, other polymers and ecological safety. Preventing new waste remains essential.
Recovered data-center heat could support desalination. Feasibility depends on heat temperature, membrane performance and local water economics. We are exploring whether the pairing can reduce the footprint of both systems.
If we aren't careful, we will program our own obsolescence or destruction.
We work on mechanisms with respect for universal processes for arriving at truth: the scientific method and trusted sources.
You may say we’re Dreamers, but we’re not the only ones
(and we know how to ship)
We are clearly at an inflection point. The morals we choose now will be propagated in a powerfully exponential fashion.
Frontier Technologies
Technologies we think can enable breakthroughs the world needs:
AI can search crystal structures and prioritize candidates for synthesis. Superconductivity still has to be measured; predicting a stable crystal alone tells us little about operating temperature, pressure or useful current.
Vision–language–action models connect what a robot sees and what we ask it to do with physical movement. The difficult test is reliable behavior when the task, surroundings or hardware change.
QSAR links molecular structure to biological activity. Generative models can propose compounds and guide screening; useful candidates still need experimental evidence of safety and efficacy.
DNA origami uses designed base-pairing to assemble nanoscale structures. Researchers can program their geometry and interactions, including experimental systems for sensing and targeted delivery.
Connectomics links neural wiring to measured activity. Gene editing changes DNA itself. Both depend on biological context: a detailed map or a precise edit can still leave the system’s behavior uncertain.
Experimental implants are restoring streaming speech and computer control for people with paralysis. Long-term signal stability, surgical risk and day-to-day usability remain central engineering and clinical challenges.
Quantum error correction encodes a logical qubit across many physical qubits. Below-threshold demonstrations are a step toward running long computations reliably; scaling the hardware and control systems remains the work.
Waveguides and holographic displays are making spatial interfaces more compact. A useful system also has to render depth correctly, track the world with low latency and remain comfortable enough to wear.
Welcome to the singularity.
