The Secret to Better Chocolate Was Inside Us All Along

The video discusses the engineering of super strong fibers from muscle proteins using microbes, focusing on the Titan protein. These fibers are stronger than natural ones and have potential applications in protective clothing and biomedical fields. The video also explores chocolate tempering, highlighting a method using phospholipids to simplify the process by promoting the desired crystal structure, Form 5, without traditional tempering.
