Making music specifically for plants/insects is a fantastic idea. I'm convinced that using (ML-based) Generative Music, coupled with plant/soil bio-sensor feedback loops is a highly effective component in new systems that will replace chemical fertilisers/pest control.

Chinese scientists develop new material for super batteries:
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201903/29/WS5c9cfeb7a3104842260b327d.htmlResearchers from Tianjin University have developed ultra-high-energy fluorinated carbon materials, the key technology to realizing ultra-energy storage.
China may have developed a game changer for electric cars: https://www.inkstonenews.com/science/chinas-lithium-breakthrough-could-be-game-changer-electric-cars/article/3010277
The biggest stock – nearly 1 million cars – was registered in China, one of the world’s most lithium-rich countries. According to a 2017 Chinese government estimate, the salt lakes on the Tibetan Plateau – where the new technology is being used – hold more than 60% of the world’s lithium reserves. A US Geological Survey estimate last year was significantly lower, placing just 7% of the world’s reserves in China.

Designing the Living: https://vertigo.ircam.fr/agenda/la-fabrique-du-vivant-1/detail/
The exposition “Designing the Living” (La fabrique du vivant) looks back at the archeology of the living and artificial life and presents the most important creations and innovations in the domains of art, design, architecture, and music with works by 50 creatives. The exhibit’s material evolves; certain works call upon processes of growth or degeneration. A hundred projects are shown, several of which were imagined especially for the occasion.
