[music] What's up, sunshine?
We are starting today's show a little differently today because before we get to the news, we're going to show some love to you.
Shout out to Mrs.
Miller and all our friends at Altuna in Wisconsin, Jamestown High School.
We see you.
Tomorrow is October 10th, 10:10.
And every tenth of the month, we celebrate some of you who show up for us every day.
You sent us some of your 10 out of 10 moments, and you all know how to bring it.
Our first one brings us to Pasadena, California, where a high school senior decided, "Why just watch the game when you can play it?" Blair High School senior Yaselin Velasco joined the baseball team, only girl on the team, having no previous baseball experience.
And take a look at this.
Hey, batter swing.
Yelin says her time on the team may be short, but her love for the game is just getting started.
Keep swinging, Yaselin.
Sometimes the biggest win is simply having the guts to step to the plate.
Next, we're heading halfway around the world to France, where Anas Lucrasi conquered something universally feared, the driver's test.
Anas says getting his license was a huge goal and he nearly aced it.
Congratulations, Missure.
NAS achievement unlocked.
And our final viewer celebration goes to the Sun Prairie West Wolves, seventh grade football team in Wisconsin.
They took down their rival, Sun Prairie East.
2414 Wolves, you brought the howl.
Keep putting in the work.
Keep being great teammates and keep chasing what's next.
10 out of 10 all around.
Now, let's get you your news.
We head to the Gulf Coast where communities are preparing for the first hurricane of this year's Atlantic season.
Hurricane Isaaiis.
And the storm is unusual for one major reason.
It took until October for the Atlantic to finally produce a hurricane.
Isaiis is now officially the latest first hurricane formation on record since recordeping began in the 1800s.
As of our taping, Isaaiis is strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico with unusually warm water helping fuel the storm, potentially nearing category 3 status.
And while it's likely to weaken slightly as it makes landfall tonight, it could still bring life-threatening storm surge, high winds, and flooding to parts of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Today is the day to prepare, and that means having enough water, having flashlights and batteries, putting your prescription medications in waterproof uh containers.
We're we're great neighbors here in Pensacola.
You need to check on your neighbors.
Check on those seniors, uh those people living alone on on your block in your neighborhood.
that could make all the difference in the world right now.
And so, uh, let's use this time to our advantage.
We've got Thursday and a little bit of morning time perhaps on Friday to get ready.
And we know how to do it here.
We'll do it calmly and we'll do it together.
If you're in the path of this storm this weekend, please stay safe, know your plan, listen to emergency officials, and watch your local forecasts for updates.
Now, to chemistry, where one of this year's Nobel prizes is going to two scientists helping solve one of life's strangest molecular mysteries.
Enri B Kagan of France, Kenzo Saii of Japan won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for discoveries involving something called kirality.
Here's the easy way to think about this.
Hold up your hands.
They look almost identical, right?
But your left hand cannot perfectly fit on top of your right.
Some molecules work the same way.
They can exist as two mirror versions, but living organisms often use only one.
For more than a century, scientists wondered why.
And more importantly, how can chemists make only the version they want?
Kagan helped develop ways to steer reactions toward one molecular hand, so to speak.
And so discovered a reaction where one version can essentially help make more of itself.
That matters because in medicine, two mirror image molecules can behave very differently inside your body.
Same atoms, different arrangement, big difference.
Their work has given chemists new tools that are used in their daily work and has awakened interest in the chemistry of life's origins.
Pop quiz shot.
What are the markings on a leopard's coat cult?
Spot spots, blotches, ringlets, or rosettes.
If you said rosettes, you get a round of applause or applause.
Leopards have solid spots on their heads and legs, but much of their coat features open roseshaped markings called rosettes.
Just like fingerprints, each leopard's pattern is unique.
Nature was like, "Uh, custom print only, bro." Visitors at New York's Bronze Zoo may spot a very furry new face.
Meet Sarca, a four-month-old snow leopard cub, now on view with her mama.
That is one cool cat right there.
Snow leopards are built for extreme mountain life.
They have huge padded paws that work like natural snowshoes, thick fur, and long woolly tails that help with balance and wrap their bodies for warmth.
In the wild, they're so elusive they're sometimes called ghosts of the mountains.
The species is listed as vulnerable, which is why breeding programs like the zoo's Himalayan Highlands habitat matter.
Experts estimate there could be as few as 4,000 snow leopards remaining in the wild.
Now, to a story at the intersection of fungi and fashion.
Not like a fun guy like fungi like the mushrooms.
Picture yourself walking the runway sporting some of tomorrow's hottest looks.
Now imagine that outfit isn't made from leather or plastic but seaweed, banana peels or mushrooms.
Sounds less like couture and more like compost.
Our Will Repley has more on one eco-conscious fashion house where the catwalk is getting a little greener.
What if the materials on tomorrow's catwalks are not manufactured, but grown?
At this fashion trade show in Hong Kong, buyers and designers are hunting for a new generation of biioaterials from banana peel, coffee grounds, algae, and this a leather alternative made from mushrooms.
>> This is what made from 100% mycelium, which is the root part of the mushroom itself.
Radius Hartio is co-founder of biioaterials startup MyCL based in Indonesia.
That's where we met the company's second founder Adi Resa.
The beauty of this mushroom mycelium production is we can grow the materials and do the planning or the post treatment process under one roof.
A very short supply chain.
>> NYC calls this their farm not factory.
It takes two or four weeks to grow the mushroom mycelium.
After the mushroom is fully colonized the substrate, we can harvest the mcelium as a form.
We do the post treatment process.
For example, like scrapping the materials, putting the moisturizer.
And the last step, we put it on a drying often to reduce the moisture of the materials.
As you can see, this is a freshly harvest mycelium leather.
The materials is already looks like real leather in terms of the flexibilities and then the wrapabilities.
>> MyCL has run trials with automakers in Korea, Japan, and the UK, including collaborations with Hyundai and Lexus to test mycelium as a future material for car seats and interiors.
They also work with multiple fashion brands, including footwear projects with Adidas and independent labels from Indonesia to the UK.
So far we are collaborating with 800 plus B2B and B2C customer across 54 countries.
>> More recently myCL has added a new biioaterial to their portfolio, a plastic alternative made from seaweed.
>> We extract the polysaccharide from the seaweed called caragenan.
We turn these caragen into biop-olymer sheets.
Until they can scale production, myCL's products remain a niche offering.
Hartio also says there needs to be a [music] broader ecosystem of credible biioaterials for brands to shift away from animal [music] and chemical options.
We would love to see more competition which means that the market is growing because currently our main competitors itself is not among ourselves but [music] against the conventional materials.
All of the waste that we have in the world, we do not see them as a waste anymore, but as a resource.
From mushrooms to the runway.
Apparently, fashion's next big thing might be something we would put on pizza.
Play that Friday music nod there.
There is another lesson in that for us today, though.
Innovation often starts when somebody looks at something ordinary and ask, "What else could this become?" I'm Koi Wire.
We are CNN 10.
Make someone smile this weekend and make it worth remembering you are more powerful than you know.
Heat up here.
