This subject can be quite interesting for all the biochem industries that do heavy research.
There could be even some specialized implementations and functionalities to help their needs.
I do happen to have a background in molecular biology and I know people related to biomedical research who are desperately in need for improvements in computing. The subject of an operating system specialized in case uses for biochem research has been talked about already.
Part of that OS could be a decentralized filesystem that could
1: store data safely
2: keep the data free from corruption
3: ability to access data on an ad-hoc basis
IPFS might be an interesting idea for those industries… it could relieve some of the resources needed by the machines, hence allowing them to get “more bang for their buck”, while at the same time being able to store their data much more safely…
