Season 3 Episode 21, “Melanin used in semiconductors & NASA” - a podcast by Stanford Green aka. Cee Bee

In this episode, CeeBee talks about the current use of technology. MELANIN being used on semiconductors to increase the speed and size of computer conductors. Governments and technology companies begun using Melanin to increase the speed, capacity and storage of semiconductors dating back to 2012. 

This is an abstract from IOPscience, "Melanin is a biological organic polymer and has semiconductor properties. The structure of organic semiconductors, including melanin, determines the mechanism of their conductivity, electrical, and catalytic properties. Research the properties of melanin, which are synthesized on the basis of innovative technologies developed by Sunoil-Agro, confirms the innovating prospects for using melanin with goal to modify electrodes of Li-ion batteries. 2020." Also to sum it up, all scientists working on this are Russians, which has very little if anything, no Melanin. So in the tech world, they have already shifted from semiconductors to batteries. 

I mentioned NASA. In the Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health magazine, “Melanin in Space” was published October 11, 2019.

Melanin—the pigment that produces hair, skin, and eye color—also holds great potential to shield humans and equipment from radiation in space.

The pigment plays multiple roles in biology, says Radames J.B. Cordero, PhD, a research associate in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. “A lot of organisms use melanin to capture heat from the environment. It is very good at absorbing electromagnetic radiation,” says Cordero.

With a seed grant from the Bloomberg School Technology Development Accelerator Fund, Cordero and his collaborators have isolated melanin from fungi and begun exploring its properties and potential applications.

Soon, they will be able to test how well melanin will hold up in space. NASA will send Cordero's samples—in the form of fungal melanin composite discs—to the International Space Station in late October.*

Part of the Materials International Space Station Experiment, Cordero’s melanin discs will also reveal melanin’s shielding ability against radiation and whether it’s more effective than lead at protecting satellites and electronics.

“The goal will be to take melanin and create biomaterials inspired by nature,” Cordero explains. “We’re seeing if we can mimic biology and learn from biology to our benefit.”

Data will not lie. I would like to read the data on where they are getting their melanin from. 

Thank you for listening to my podcast. Peace Family.
