On August 5, 20 12, Gates awarded the California Institute of Technology a prize of $654.38 million in recognition of its efforts in developing independent solar toilets, which can recycle water and decompose human excrement into storable energy. Gates pays close attention to the development of this new type of toilet. He pointed out that the sanitary problems caused by defecation kill 654.38+0.5 billion children under the age of five every year, while western toilets are not suitable because the latter requires a complicated sewer system and consumes too much water. Therefore, Gates vigorously promoted the innovation of toilet technology. He pointed out that since the toilet of 1775 came out, there has been no fundamental innovation in this respect. On the same day, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced that it would provide new funds totaling 3.4 million US dollars for toilet projects of various institutions, and the fund has invested a total of 6.5 million US dollars in the "toilet revolution". Condom Revolution 2065438+On June 4th, 2004, the Bill Gates Foundation (GCE) announced that Guangzhou Company had won the Bill Gates Foundation12 grand challenges explorations, and it became the only award-winning institution in China for its research project, and it was also the first/kloc-0 in China since Grand Challenges Explorations was founded in 2008. Worldwide, 654.38+0.5 billion condoms are produced every year, with 750 million users. According to the survey of the World Health Organization, 50% of men are reluctant to use condoms, because condoms will affect the quality of their sexual life. Once this world problem is solved, the condom market will grow geometrically. When the thickness of the condom is reduced to less than 30 microns without affecting its safety, the foreign body sensation brought by the condom almost does not exist, the fit between the condom wall and the skin will increase, and the touch will be more sensitive. That is to realize the ultimate dream of condoms-wearing and not wearing the same feeling! Without affecting real life, effectively avoid the spread of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS! Gates also provided a grant of $654.38 million+to the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom to develop condoms made of ultra-light conductive material graphene. In addition, the Foundation also provided $654.38 million+to the University of Oregon in the United States to fund its research on making condoms with polyurethane. The thickness of the finished product on the market will be less than half of the thinnest condom on the market at present. The researchers said that the purpose of developing the next generation of condoms is to encourage partners to be more willing to use condoms, which not only helps contraception, but also helps to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. Gates said that manufacturers in developed countries are not interested in developing drugs such as malaria and tuberculosis because these diseases are not common in developed countries, but "there will be a market for ultra-thin condoms because condoms have not been innovated for many years."
