STG podcast (Science, Technology,Gaming and Stuff)

In this second part of the discussion about nuclear waste storage with Jarkko Stenfors from Posiva, we are discussing how the copper canisters containing the waste are treated and store in the long term. Also some explanation on what experiments and testing have been done to ensure the safety of the storage for hundreds of years. And finally we go into future scenario to hypothesize what could happen to the storage site when all the people that build it are not around anymore, what precaution need to be employed to keep it safe in the unforeseen future.

In this first part of the episode we are discussing about Posiva, how the nuclear waste is generated in the power plants and its short term storage. Then we start the discussion about Posiva's plans for long term storage in their underground facilities in Olkiluoto. In there the nuclear waste is transferred from the short term storage to copper canisters that will then be welded shut and moved to the final resting place over 400 meters underground. In the next part we are discussing what happens to the canisters after they are closed and about all the testing done in the last 20 years by Posiva.

In this episode Juhana is finally back and we get to have another of the random discussions about different topics. A bit about the Chernobyl HBO series (go watch it), the robot vacuum-cleaner and the value of privacy. This is a topic that comes out here rather often because we apparently really care and, every time, we hope that people would also care more. Finally for the real interesting stuff (at 28:00) we discuss a bit about the new 5 nm semiconductor manufactoring node that TSMC and Samsung are starting to produce. And with this comes a bit of future talk in the field. As always come to talk to us @STG_podcast and share this episode around if you found it interesting!

Again I was left alone for this episodes and these are not easy to do without a proper discussion, the interest feedback is missing when speaking to a screen (at least my cat is here listening to me). Anyway, this time I'm talking about some more EU project from railway network simulation to automatic maintenance and smart sleepers to automatic beer brewing technology with some new welding technology. Hopefully this smaller episodes are not too painful to listen, we will try to go back to normal discussions from the next time!

In this episode I'm going through some results from a CORDIS results pack about nano-materials (Cordis website) while going a bit deeper into what Microfluidics is, some applications and roll-to-roll fabrication. The at the end a bit about printed electronics in connection with the roll manufacturing. Microfluidics is a research field that focuses on small liquids amount and small hardware dimensions to work in laminar flow, this opens the possibilities for several applications in medical, chemical and more fields. The roll-to-roll production enables the cost of devices to be lower with high production capability.

To all the esteemed listeners, We want to formally thank all of you for listening this podcast for so long. We finally reached the big milestone of 1 year of actual episodes and we are still planning on going. We will try to invite more and more interesting guests (while having easy access to professors in the university) and, hopefully, start the microfabrication series. This episode was more for us since we are just having a random conversation among friends, we deserved after 1 year I think. If you actually get to the end let us know on Twitter, I'm curious to see how many get that far. Again thanks and best regards, STG podcasting team.

In this episode we have a very interesting discussion with Anna Fait from ETH Zurich (Twitter @AnnaFeit and http://annafeit.de) about her research on inputs methods and optimization of keyboard layouts in particular the research on the new French official layout (more info here and here the layout (in French) ). The discussion is about all the new input solutions that are researched from better typing to VR and how the research is performed. The french layout is the best example of that, using algorithms and real data from people typing to analyze where all the special characters in a keyboard should be placed. Sorry for the audio quality, we had some connection issues apparently and it is really hard to remove those clicks. I will try more and re-upload the audio if I manage to get it fixed.

In this episode we are celebrating the 1000 downloads milestone. Might not be much but it is nice to know that people actually want to listen to us (or start to just to making us feel nice) and we hope that we will continue improve the content going forward. Next milestone is 52 episodes, the real 1 year of podcasting. The we go to speak about Anchor, a podcast hosting service that is actually free and we might try soon, free is good. There maybe we even get some sponsorships? That would be another massive achievement. Since we need to speak also abut something cool, the new foldable Samsung "phone" is out soon and that is definitely something interesting to see!

In this episode we have a discussion with Aleksa about the Trigoni project, the tower complex in the Pasila district of Helsinki built by YIT. The Trigoni is a new complex of several towers as high as 180 meters combining residential, commercial (offices and shopping centers) as well as an hotel. The project is utilizing the space left from the old train depot near the Pasila station. During the episode we discuss about the history of the project, how is it to actually create something of this scale and how the Trigoni connect with the area. Also some interesting details about how the towers' shape came about and the style of the architecture. As always come to talk @STG_podcast and share this episode around!

In this episode we are discussing the recent results of Alphastar, the new deep learning algorithm from DeepBlue, playing Starcraft 2. The AI went 10-1 against 2 different pro gamers in Protoss vs Protoss matches. The discussion is not on the technical side unfortunately because we are not expert in deep learning in any way but more on the results. Is the AI really having better strategies or the micro and technical "skills" are mainly its advantage? Interesting discussion when mostly knowing the SC2 side of things, we hope to find someone that would come to speak with us about how the deep learning algorithm actually work.

In this episode I'm joined by Simon Elliott (@simon_D_Elliott) from Schrödinger to talk about what computer simulations can teach us about the chemistry of ALD at the atomic level. The discussion starts with some introduction and example of how the ALD deposition works at the smallest scale, too small for the normal analytical technique to analyse.  Some discussion about simulations are performed and the computer hardware necessary. As usual we did not manage to get too deep into some particular topic because we need to keep the podcast in a good listening time but we will probably come back on the topic in the future. Next week we will take a break from ALD and change the topic but we will be back with a guest from the industry to see the other side of the technology.

In this second episode we are again discussing with Pietro, a researcher at consorzio RFX in Padova (Italy) about Nuclear Fusion. This week's episode is more focused on the physics of nuclear fusion with focus on Pietro's research on the atomic beam insertion into the plasma and tech in general to sustain the plasma in the reactor. It is really interesting for us to discuss the topic with an expert because the technology is well known by most of the people as being the future energy revolution but the details are much less known. We learn a lot and hopefully you will too. I'm sorry about the audio quality but we needed to use Skype and a laptop microphone to record these 2 episodes plus I'm not too good yet at editing audio.

It this episode Sebastiano returns to speak a bit more about Android development, this time with a focus on UI and UX. We go through the path that an application might follow during development and compare it with what would change when developing a more complex videogame. Also there is some traditional discussion about Open source and Git Hub. Stick to the end for some nice bug stories encountered during development. There are developers that care about those bugs even if they are only affecting few users among the whole user base.   Follow and speak with us on Twitter @STG_podcast Find us also on PocketCasts and iTunes!

In this episode Artturi has a chance to speak about his sturies in Linguistics. We start from the movie Arrival and the book (Story of your life) that is based of. From there (with spoilers since Juhana did not see the movie neither read the book) we try to go on a general discussion about linguistic in the movie and how that is connected with the real world. The discussion inspired us to try to get more episodes going deeper into the linguistic techniques and how it is used in human situations and not with aliens.
