TeraGroup Overview
TeraGroup provides a terahertz platform for the development of high-frequency and high-power chips and systems designed for semiconductor manufacturing. Stemming from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, TERA focuses on developing and providing technological improvements in multiple industries and markets, including food, medical, pharmaceutical, and energy applications. TERA's technology can detect organic and inorganic material in liquid and gaseous phases, providing information unobtained until today in the scientific community and commercial space. For example, TERA's technology can be used to detect the sex of eggs (male/female/infertile). TeraWater is made of standard water that undergoes a unique process of illumination by THz and other EM wavelengths. From enhanced food products and renewable energy to drug delivery applications, TERA has a strong pipeline of tailor-made TeraWater for specific use cases, developed together with the company's strategic, industrial partners. TeraWater may be utilized as a reagent, solvent, biocatalyst, growth enhancer, surfactant, or buffer, delivering significant performance improvement in applications and products such as drug formulations, drug delivery systems, proteins' prolonged stability and activity, clean energy sources, food preservation, and many others.

New technique may prevent the gruesome deaths of billions of male chicks
Vital Farms, a Texas-based company that sells eggs from pasture-raised hens, has developed a method to determine the gender of a chicken egg before it hatches. The company hopes to make this technology commercially available within a year. The technology would solve an animal welfare problem as well as a financial one for egg hatcheries, which currently spend money incubating eggs for 21 days and then sorting out and culling the male chicks that hatch from half of them. The wide-scale adoption of this technology would be a win for animal welfare and the egg industry. Other initiatives are also working on in-ovo sexing technology, but Vital Farms method is unique because it does not involve puncturing the egg and is used on the day the eggs are laid.
