Building an organ is way more sophisticated than the most complex product today.
But that doesn’t change this fact: You don’t depend on craftsmanship or artisanship in the process. You bring that same discipline, standards and metrics to this kind of manufacturing as you do to making soup or cookies or cars.
Soon we will be in a world where we can...

Boeing and Airbus are arch rivals, competing vigorously over decades for supremacy in the global aviation market, much like DowDupont and BASF do in chemicals. Yet all of these companies, along with many others, collaborate at places like the Composites Institute (IACMI). They do this not out of any altruism, of course, but self-interest.
It is at...
