Blockchain or bust: A business and science revolution for food microbiology?
Blockchain is a decentralised digital ledger system that records transactions in a secure, transparent, and immutable way. It uses cryptographic techniques to create a tamper-proof record that is stored on a network of computers, making it impossible for any single entity to alter the record. Blockchain technology was first introduced in 2008 to power the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, but it has since been explored for its potential applications in various industries beyond finance.
