  • James Webb: A 10 billion dollars origami in space
    Dec 21 2021

    Did you know we invented a time machine? Not for traveling to the past, but for viewing it! In this episode, we talk about NASA's latest technical marvel, the James Webb Space Telescope. What challenges the scientists and engineers had to overcome? And what images we should expect to come in the next few months and years? Of course, it's not every day that you throw a 10 billion dollar origami into space!

  • Not your grandpa's nuclear reactors
    Dec 12 2021

    In our first ever guest interview, we talk with Dr. Dorel Obada, a Nuclear Safety Engineer, on the topic of Nuclear Power. Why has nuclear power received such a bad name, was it justified and what new technologies can we expect in the coming years? We get a real insiders view on the current state of nuclear energy and a look ahead into the future of this controversial technology.

  • Today's Batteries are just not Goodenough
    Oct 22 2021

    We can already feel the effects of climate change, and it will take the effort of our entire collective mind to solve and mitigate the problems and catastrophes that it brings. One of the issues that are being solved right now are storage solutions for renewable power. In this episode, we talk about what technologies we have at our disposal today and the leaps that are still to be made. Will these solutions be good enough? Only time will tell.
