Is the capacity limit of 37 channels a fundamental limit due to the design, or a consequence of fabricating these fibres in a university lab? I'm honestly asking since I can't access the full text at home, but I suspect it's the latter reas

Peter Thiel, in his Stanford class, referred to a "Manhattan Project for nutrition." He indicated that it was in the formative stages at that point. I wonder if this is what he was referring to.
