As April 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Arm architecture, I am re-releasing my episode with Steve Furber. What began as an ambitious project in a small corner of Cambridge, U.K., has grown into the world's most widely adopted computing architecture, now powering billions of devices – from sensors, smartphones and laptops to vehicles, datacenters and beyond.It was at 3pm on 26th April 1985, the chip that led to the world's first commercial RISC processor powered up... and changed the world!Steve Furber is a seminal computer scientist, mathematician and hardware designer whose work includes the BBC Microcomputer and the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor which can be found in over 100 billion devices today.Steve studied both Maths followed by a PhD in Aerodynamics at Cambridge University before joining Herman Hauser and Chris Curry at Acorn Computers. For the next decade, he would work with a first-class team of engineers and designers to revolutionise the home computer market before he and Sophie Wilson went on to design the ARM processor with a relatively small team and budget and with little inkling of the consequence it might bring to the world.In 1990, Steve left Acorn moved to Manchester where he is now Professor of Computer Engineering at the university there. He was charged with leading research into asynchronous systems, low-power electronics and neural engineering which  led to the SpiNNaker project - a super computer incorporating a million ARM processors which are optimised for computational neuroscience. He is basically trying to reverse engineer the brain – a lofty ambition even by his own admission.In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss Steve's life journey from studying maths with professors such as the famed John Conway and Sir James Lighthill to the highs and lows of building the BBC Micro and the story behind the ARM 32-bit RISC microprocessor.I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Steve and am overly excited about his SpiNNaker project which we also discuss today.Enjoy!--------------Steve Furber info / SpiNNaker info / Micro Men filmDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram @daniellenewnham   / Newsletter Watch Steve and Sophie talk about those early arm days tomorrow - buy your tickets here.

I'm your host, Allen Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxon. Today, we're diving deep into the world of wind turbine aerodynamics and blade optimization with one of the industry's leading experts. Our guest is Nicholas Gaudern, the Chief Technology Officer at PowerCurve, a company that's revolutionizing how we approach wind turbine performance through advanced Aerodynamic solutions. Now, Nicholas has over 15 years of industry experience and his journey includes significant roles at industry giants like Vestas, where he led the design of next generation blades. And as CTO of PowerCurve, Nicholas and his team are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in wind turbine optimization. They've developed innovative solutions like AeroVista, which helps operators make data driven decisions about blade maintenance and upgrades. Their work spans from custom designed vortex generators to trailing edge serrations, all aimed at increasing AEP while reducing turbine noise. So please welcome to the Uptown Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight, Nicholas Gaudern. Nicholas Gaudern: Thanks, Allen. Yeah, good to see you as well, Joe. Allen Hall: We have a lot going on in the United States in terms of rotors on the ground. Variety of reasons, but anytime that Joel and I are running through the Midwest, we see rotors down, and when I run into those people, I always ask, why are you not putting arrow improvements on your blade? It is the lowest cost way to do it. There's an opportunity there Nicholas? Nicholas Gaudern: Yeah, there, there really is, and I find it very surprising as well, because whilst you can put upgrades on at lots of different points in a turbine's life cycle, if you do have that roach on the ground it just makes everyone's lives that bit easier, and also it's going to save you a lot of money on installation costs. So yes, I think it's a great thing to be considering because you can be working on different parts of the blade at the same time. And if you're going to increase the AEP with those devices you put on, you can consider that as a way of paying for some of the other work you might be doing while the rotor's down. Allen Hall: Yeah. And we've run into many operators that have talked to us about noise of all things in the middle of the United States where there's not a lot of neighbors to them. But neighbors are concerned about the noise produced by the turbines and in very windy places. Yeah. like Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, there is blade noise. It's there. And most of the equipment out in service does not have trailing edge serrations. And I'm beginning to wonder if that is trying to be, if there's needs to be an adjustment made there that you may not technically need trailing edge serrations for noise quieting, but to be a good neighbor.

Fastening your seatbelt while in a car is something you learn even without knowing the rest of the road traffic regulations. But have you ever wondered why buses don't have seatbelts at all? It seems only natural that a vehicle that carries so much more people than a car should have seatbelts, but buses have none — not even school buses. And how can they be safer than cars then? Speaking about safety, have you ever thought why buses stop and open their doors at railroad tracks? It's actually a must for any vehicle to stop at a designated point before railroad tracks and check if there's a train coming. For a bus driver, it's also important to open the doors. But why? Well, let's find out the answers to these questions and more! Other videos you might like: Why Airplanes Are White    • Why Airplanes Are White   How to Choose a Safe Seat in 7 Types of Transport    • How to Choose a Safe Seat in 7 Types ...   Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific Ocean    • Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific...   TIMESTAMPS: Why don't buses have seatbelts? 0:21 Why are there dedicated bus lanes? 1:08 Why won't buses stop and open the doors when someone's late? 1:45 Why is there a “do not speak to the driver” sign? 2:15 How do bus doors open and close when the driver isn't inside? 2:54 Why are buses considered safer than cars? 3:31 Why do buses stop and open their doors at railroad tracks? 4:29 Why are bus depots often located in rough neighborhoods? 5:00 How do displays in buses know when to show the next stop? 5:40 How do you see through a bus window from inside when there's an ad on the outside? 6:24 Why are bus steering wheels almost parallel to the ground? 7:26 Why don't buses have a more aerodynamic shape? 8:11 #buses #safety #brightside SUMMARY: In case of emergency, passengers need to get off a bus as fast as possible. With seatbelts on, they'll waste precious time on unbuckling them. Like any other public transport, buses have a schedule to meet, and in big cities, traffic jams aren't rare. So to reduce delays caused by heavy traffic, dedicated bus lanes were introduced. When a bus has already closed its doors and moved a few feet away from the stop, halting it again creates difficulties for the rest of the vehicles on the road. There's a mechanism that opens and closes the driver's door from the outside. The button that activates it is usually hidden and located under the door. Buses are heavy, and it takes a really serious impact to stop them in their tracks. They're also long, so even if a bus crashes into a brick wall, passengers will fall, but no one will probably get seriously hurt. Public transport depots need a lot of land, and land in big cities is costly. So when a transport company buys a turf to park its vehicles, it normally chooses a piece of land that's relatively cheap. When a bus approaches its next stop, the GPS sends a signal to the display, and it changes the name of the stop. The steering wheel is connected directly to the wheels of the vehicle with a rod. In a car, the front wheels are further ahead of the driver, so the rod goes smoothly back and up to the steering wheel. Aerodynamics allows vehicles to move faster with less opposing force of the air. It's fine with transport that's made to be fast, but buses aren't about speed; they're more about safety.

Deep-Sea ‘Nodules' May Produce Oxygen | A Bird's Physics Trick For High-Altitude Flying

New research suggests that polymetallic nodules found 13,000 feet deep produce “dark oxygen” by electrolyzing water. Also, at higher altitudes, the air is less dense, which makes it harder for birds in flight to generate lift. The turkey vulture has a solution. Deep-Sea ‘Nodules' May Produce Oxygen, Study FindsAn international team of researchers recently discovered that some 13,000 feet below the ocean's surface, oxygen may be produced through natural electrolysis. The group found that small lumps called polymetallic nodules at the bottom of the ocean appeared to act as geo batteries, producing enough electricity to break down water and make oxygen.That observation challenges the idea that photosynthesis is necessary to produce enough oxygen for living organisms. The researchers hypothesize that this could be a source of oxygen for deep-sea creatures. But while it gives some answers as to how life can thrive at the bottom of the sea, it also raises a lot of new questions.Science Friday guest host and producer Charles Bergquist is joined by the lead electrochemist of the study, Dr. Franz Geiger, the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, to answer some of these questions.One Bird's Physics Trick For Flying At High AltitudesIf you've ever taken a trip to a higher elevation, you know that the air gets thinner as you go up. If you're not acclimated to the altitude, it can feel harder to breathe. That thinner air also makes it more difficult for birds and airplanes to fly, because it's harder to produce the lift forces in thinner air. But it turns out that turkey vultures have a way of dealing with that problem.Researchers observed turkey vultures in flight at different altitudes and found that rather than flapping harder or more rapidly to deal with decreased lift, the turkey vulture exploits the lower drag in thinner air to fly faster, using increased speed to help balance the lift equation. Dr. Jonathan Rader, a postdoctoral research associate in biology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and an author of a report on this research published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, joins SciFri's Charles Bergquist to explain how flying things work to adapt to different flight conditions.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Next, we unravel the mystique surrounding birthstones, exploring their ancient origins, hidden meanings, and the enchanting lore that has captivated humanity for centuries. Our journey then takes us underwater to the Baltic Sea Anomaly—a strange, enigmatic object that has puzzled scientists and conspiracy theorists alike. What is this mysterious formation, and why does it continue to spark debate? Finally, we confront the dark legacy of the Hanford Site in Benton County, Washington. From its pivotal role in the Manhattan Project to its current status as one of the most polluted places on Earth, we explore the history of this radioactive waste site and the ongoing efforts to manage its toxic remnants.
