#XPRIZE makes history, awards $100M prize for groundbreaking #carbon removal
#MatiCarbon developed sequestration technique called enhanced rock weatherin. The company spreads crushed basalt on farms in India and Africa. Silica-rich volcanic rock improves soil quality for crops but also helps remove #carbondioxide from air. It does this by reacting with dissolved #CO2 in soil's water, turning it into bicarbonate ions and preventing it from returning to the atmosphere.

Four years ago, I covered the launch of an #XPRIZE competition for technologies aimed at removing CO2 from the atmosphere, with Elon #Musk providing $100 million for prizes. Things have changed quite a bit for #Elon since then, but the competition has moved along as planned - and now we know who's won. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/04/23/mati-carbon-wins-top-prize-in-carbon-removal-competition/ #MatiCarbon #ElonMusk #Tech #Climate #Carbon #CO2

There’s a new $101 MILLION prize to reverse aging!
I spoke to Peter Diamandis and Jamie Justice about XPRIZE Healthspan.
Why a prize, not $101m of grants? Is it too easy or too hard? And how can we get more billionaires interested?

Avatars return to the movies - and find a real-life foothold:
Thirteen years after the original “Avatar” movie came out, the idea of human minds inhabiting alien bodies is returning for an amped-up sequel — and since 2009, real-life efforts to create robotic avatars have advanced at least as much as computer-aided filmmaking has.

It's pretty interesting to look at the parallels between the blue-skinned avatars in "Avatar: The Way of Water" and the robotic avatars that earned their creators millions of dollars in the ANA Avatar XPRIZE. Thanks to the folks who discussed all this with me for a new episode of the #FictionScience podcast.

One year ago, #X was in the news about their project of having everyday #robots out of the lab: https://x.company/blog/posts/everyday-robots
I wonder where this is at. The fact that the last #xprize was about #teleoperation is perhaps a clue that they are still at the phase where they want to collect data with a #woz approach. -
