Dr. Jacob Barandes is a professor of Physics at Harvard University who studies the foundations of physics. He has emerged as a leading skeptic of the idea that our universe is somehow fundamentally mathematical in nature, marking a full cycle of more than two thousand years of ink spilled about the nature of the universe. Barandes has found that there is a way of modeling the basement membrane of reality as being made of bodies with location, where everything from superposition to electricity and magnetism are a product of the motions of these bodies. Our conversation spans the basic principles that Barandes has used to arrive at this conclusion, the vital role that confusion over what constitutes a “measurement” plays in producing a highly paradoxical interpretation of nature, and the fact that this debate about the nature of the universe - substance versus mathematics - has been raging for more than two thousand years, with no end in sight.

We are on the cusp of a materials revolution – in electronics, health care, and avionics – says guest engineer-scientist Eric Pop. For instance, silicon and copper have served electronics admirably for decades, he says, but at the nanoscale, better materials will be needed. Atomically thin two-dimensional semiconductors (like molybdenum disulfide) and topological semimetals (like niobium phosphide) are two candidates, but with AI tools to design new materials, the future is going to be really interesting, Pop tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Bioconjugation of antibodies to drugs via chemical linkers is how antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are made. We're joined by Matt Giese, Senior Scientist at Vector Laboratories, who talks us through the complex chemistry options and biodesign considerations that have to be considered and balanced when making a successful ADC.How does one build the skillset to work in biodesign of ADCs you might ask? Well, Matt's career path might not provide a clearcut roadmap like you might hope. That's because Matt started his career as an auto mechanic, moved into art, went back to auto mechanics, worked as baggage handler and as a construction worker, all before ever finding chemistry. If you think that's a convoluted path, just wait to hear about his academic and professional work journeys.  You'll revel in following this journey, and in the lessons and diverse skills learned along the way.

The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this episode, I meet with Sandy Bell of Stance Studio, an Australian-trained and registered architect, who has spent the last half-decade living and working in Denmark. At the time of the interview, Sandy was operating a fascinating hybrid practice, Stance Studios, that spanned the roles of the ‘design architect and construction architect often seen separated in Denmark. Similarly Stance's output ranges in scale, from handcrafted furniture, single residential, and through to commercial and educational projects. Often working with local practice Einrum Arkitekter, the studio has spent the last number of years expanding into, and advancing, the niche of mass timber design and construction. Astutely aware of the construction sector's major contribution to human environmental impact on the planet, Sandy advocates for mass timber products as a sustainable alternative to traditional building.  Among other things, our conversation explores various aspects of mass timber performing as a sustainable alternatives to steel and concrete, and we delve into how construction is undergoing a revolution through integrated building technology, transforming the utilization of timber in the industry.  I was lucky enough to cycle the city with Sandy and got to follow his classic Danish wagon bike around town. We started in his office where a small typical desk setup was excitedly located beside a timber and off-cut-filled workshop nested in a larger co-working space filled with talented other creatives, working with salvaged materials. We visited several of his projects, from the intimate – furniture pieces and shop fit-outs to the large and commercial ones such as Copenhagen Distillery, and Gladsaxe (Gleaghds- axe -e) Kindergarten. We ended our tour at the site of Falleby (Fal-le-boo) project, which we discuss in the interview. Its timber CLT envelope and neat construction process meant it was one of the cleanest and most comfortable construction sites I have ever set foot on. I can imagine it must be quite a joy to work on as a contractor. Which brings us to the atypical role, which Sandy and his CLT-focused counterparts play. On the construction site, Sandy is just as likely to be found with a hammer in hand as he is with a clipboard or measuring tape of a typical architect.  It is a small shift in the traditional role of an architect that can hopefully lead to a large and more crucial shift in the industry, towards a craft and materials-focused, low-carbon and cyclical way of building. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation. This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association in Copenhagen. Thank you so much for listening, and thank you to our international guest, Sandy Bell of Stance Studio. It was truly delightful to delve into your appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and innovative processes, and speculate about the future landscape of mass timber construction. Let's watch this space, and we look forward to speaking with you again in the future. Our sponsor Brickworks, also produces architecture podcasts hosted by Tim Ross.

Under his leadership, Hologenix has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the US for three consecutive years, showcasing his ability to drive impressive growth and innovation. In this episode… Have you ever wondered how to turn innovation into profit and sell it to other companies? In a constantly transforming economy, excelling with innovative technological solutions is crucial. Could there be an intersection of technology and the textile industry? Seth Casden faced these questions head-on when he helped develop CELLIANT, a performance textile designed to improve circulation through infrared energy. He explains how his company created a textile embedded with infrared-emitting minerals that enhance circulation and aid recovery. Despite the initial challenges, including skepticism from major brands like Under Armour, his team substantiated their claims through rigorous scientific studies. Seth emphasizes the importance of long-term vision and patience, investing in studies and product development that may take years to bear fruit but ultimately establish credibility and market demand. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Seth Casden, Founder and CEO of Hologenix, about the intersection of textiles and technology. They discuss how working at a law firm laid the foundation for Hologenix, the impact of private equity experience on company strategy, and overcoming challenges to partner with major brands. He also emphasized the importance of long-term vision and scientific validation.

The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this episode we speak with Kirsten Lynge of Søuld. Kirsten is head of sustainability and co-founder of Søuld, a Danish material manufacturer committed to providing forward-thinking designers, builders, and end-users with eco-friendly, recyclable and CO₂-storing building materials made from eelgrass. At Søuld, Kirsten uses her skills from her engineering background, where she has been trained in managing sustainable production systems. She pairs this with her love for eelgrass, awakened from a childhood at Læsø, a Danish Island known for its historical eelgrass roofs, that last for centuries. I was lucky enough to touch and feel some of this seaweed or grass. There was number of historical samples in the office when I spoke with Kirsten. It was quite astounding to touch something that has been around for over 300 years and think about how materials such as these could be utilised to stand in buildings that aim for a lifespan of even a slim portion of that time.  Listening to Kirsten, the ideas of the product seem so simple or obvious that it can be hard to understand why our industry makes it so difficult to make them viable. This is a scenario I came across many times when talking to those producing similar solutions. Specifically, Kirsten has queried: Why not take a material that is in abundance in Denmark, seaweed, to press and shape into a building material to insulate buildings. It Revives old traditions of seaweed houses and focusing on common sense solutions with a proven track record in other times in our history. In our discussion today, we discuss what happens when a simple idea meets a complex industry - How regulation, formal and informal industry practices, and competition by established players, all shape how a sustainable idea manifests into a viable product. Kirsten's team has made it work in the landscape of the construction industry and its existing practices and players. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing.  Alongside the invention of the product, Kirsten, and the team at Søuld has had to educate and convince contractors, architects, and engineers, as well as customers. They have had to battle to prove compliancy and codes in a space where current regulations match the performance and test logic of current products, often made in factories, and without the curve balls that natural materials throw. They have had to fight to exist in a risk-averse industry where there is significant financial hurdles, hesitancy to deviate from existing regulations, and where the interest in promoting new, more sustainable solutions is lower than what our environment needs. To sum up, Søuld and fellow counterparts in the industry of new sustainably focused materials, have had to do much more than just develop their innovative product or service. They must reconfigure and persuade an entire value chain to embrace their innovation. Ultimately, they have to help build an entire new industry. Søuld is well on its way, being helped along by key and interesting business partners, research grants and a supportive network of local designers. Today's episode showcases one particular story, as an exemplar of the journey of these small businesses, designers and great thinkers preparing Solutions with the potential to move the world in a better, more sustainable direction. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association in Copenhagen.

The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. The architectural endeavour yields two distinctive outcomes, the addition of a building and the subtraction of a void. As construction takes shape -a curated assembly of materials, a corresponding void emerges in a location where these materials originally sourced, generally from elsewhere in the world. For years, designers have only been asked to consider result one: the building. But we've entered an age where architecture can no longer look over the impact of where and how materials are exploited. In this episode, I meet with Andy Coward, a Danish and UK-based structural engineer with 17 years of experience designing buildings and bridges, burning man installations, Apple stores, football stadiums, and architectural offices. Andy spent many of these years as an associate partner at Foster + Partners in London, where he first dappled in architectural projects. A shift to Scandinavia with his appointment as head of engineering at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in Copenhagen continued this trajectory, ignited his search for innovation within practice, and furthered his investigation into how structural materials can address climate change.  His search for a fresh approach to making, designing, and using concrete led to the founding of his current practice Net Zero projects and one of his first offerings:  the low-carbon structural system Minimass. Many within this circularity field talk about the requirement to move away from concrete and cement as a material. But here, we see Andy taking a different approach. Recognising that the world cannot stop its addiction to concrete overnight, he is instead advocating within the existing system helping it shift towards a better future. He asks how we can best use this material, how we can reduce our quantities, and be tactical in our composition of materials to allow concrete structures to live for longer. It's a logical evolution of a design philosophy: use the right material in the right place for the right purpose – no more, no less. In our discussion, Andy talks about two big challenges faced during construction: 1. The cost of materials: people have and will always fret about this. It's not new.  2. Carbon – A matter finally and importantly garnering more interest. It is becoming more and more apparent that these two items are intrinsically tied to each other and will only become more so as the availability of materials decreases, and the impacts of carbon become more apparent on our environment.  Andy was challenged to create a system that focuses on reducing both at the same time. Andy notes that he is not a materials scientist – he will leave the invention of new materials to others. He is not a ‘robot' guy, not a software programmer, but is a designer. He has questioned how he can use this background to create a system which uses less. Less material and less labour.  Today we begin our discussion with an analysis of our past, and how there may be clues to suggest the types of thinking we should apply to our current practice. Among other things we discuss the spectrum of beautiful and innovative concrete structures which emerged during the 20 century and modernism. Parabolic shells and thin arches with their fantastic use of minimal material and with a focus on forces in tension and compression. They emerged from a time when materials were scarce but labour was cheap. Our discussion today queries what will happen in the future where materials are again in short supply, but the cost of construction means we must think differently.

Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Andy Coward, of Net Zero Projects.

For years, designers have only been asked to consider result one: the building. But we've entered an age where architecture can no longer look over the impact of where and how materials are exploited. In this episode, we speak with Architects and academics, Jon Foote & Ula Kozminska from Aarhus University in Denmark. Our conversation centres around a fascinating paradigm shift in construction—what they term as 'The New Stone Age.' where architects are again considering the ancient benefits of stone, fuelled by a contemporary sustainability agenda. Jonathan and Ula share recent projects exploring the reintroduction of load-bearing stone, questioning the possibility of creating modern stone buildings without steel, structure, and cladding, hearkening back to traditional methods. Their research prompts critical questions about transitioning to a more custodial form of extraction, aiming to reduce reliance on materials like steel, concrete, and wood—industries often grounded in extractivist principles. For example, they highlight the paradoxical process of concrete: limestone is crushed and burnt, losing 60% of structural strength and therefore requiring steel reinforcement. In contrast, stone, relatively abundant, and with its lower carbon footprint, emerges as a more sustainable option. Yet, the current focus of the stone industry is on decoration—benchtops, basins, facades, and finishes— We have forgotten how to use stone in a way it performs best. Jonathan and Ula stress the need to scrutinize extraction practices, not just to reduce material consumption but also to reimagine responsible approaches to altered landscapes. They emphasize visualizing the connection between buildings and the landscapes where materials are sourced. Together, we explore the potential of natural stone in architecture as an ecology—caring for both what is taken and what is left behind.  This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation.

Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this interview, I meet with Ana and Jan of Studio Ludika, an emerging Icelandic based architectural and research practice. Ana is a born and bred Icelander, who teamed with the Polish born, Cario raised Jan, to establish Studio Ludika when living in the UK. After years of practice, the duo shifted their office to Ana's home city of Reyjakvik, where their studio focuses on research and construction projects concurrently. Their multifaceted work combines research development and undertaking with the aim of introducing a more sustainable and self-sufficient way of building in Iceland, with a focus on alternative bio-based materials I was particularly interested in speaking with Jan and Ana because of the many parallels can be drawn from Iceland as an island nation, to the scenario back at home on our island… Australia. Our island's similarly feature incredible natural wonders drawing in thousands of tourists. But our lands are also rich in natural assets, deemed ripe for exploitation, extraction and export across the globe. Despite being rich in resources, research to date, suggests that the majority of materials being utilised in the average construction in Iceland, is brought in from abroad. Walking the docks, not too far from the city centre, you can see row after row of shipping container arriving full, and leaving empty. The city is building taller, sprawling further, and is full of grey, thick and solid concrete. Almost 70% of construction in Iceland is concrete based. A wild fact for a country with no local cement industry. In our conversation, Ana and Jan lament that Icelanders we have forgotten how to build self sufficiently, living on an island completely reliant on carbon intensive material imports. Among other things, Ana and Jan comment on how Icelanders used to know how to build with what they had around them. In a country of very little trees for timber, they built within the landscapes. Grassy turf houses that raised and fell back into the earth. They note that at the time, it wasn't a glorious, but it worked. It kept it's inhabitants warmed, and safe through icy winters. Now they dream of a day where locals  don't have to rely on the outside world to provide most things, and where homes don't have to become hermetic capsules cut off from nature, through layers of synthetic materials with ever more complicated ways of cutting off the inside from the outside. Of a return to architecture which embraces the natural that surrounds it, and where buildings don't need to exploit, pollute and be dependent. But our conversation is a hopeful one. We discuss how the smallness of Iceland can become a driving force, and an advantage that bigger sprawling societies lack: agility. Ludika is working towards a reality through experimentation, testing, and hopefully eventually through demonstrating with regular construction, that we can build differently to what has become the norm. Can Iceland be a trailbalizer in demonstrating that radical transformation in how we build is possible? If a small island nation can demonstrate this, perhaps the feat for larger nations will no longer be unimaginable….

This episode was recorded during a period of residency with the SIM Icelandic Arts Association,  Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guests Ana and Jan of Studio Ludika.

Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this episode, we listen to a thought-provoking discussion with Arnhildur Pálmadóttir, a visionary architect and explorer of new narratives in the built environment.  Arnhildur operates from two architectural offices in Rekjavik Iceland. SAP – a small research and practice-based design studio. and the newly created Lendager Iceland, a local branch to the revolutionary Danish sustainable practice.  In a world where climate change looms large and the responsibility of architects weighs heavy, Arnhildur challenges us to question the status quo and envision new possibilities beyond existing systems. With a studio ethos grounded in both childlike curiosity and scientific rigor, Arnhildur has spent the last four years pushing the boundaries of what's possible in architecture. Arnhildur's quest began at a point of despair over climate change, coupled with a deep fascination for science, technology, and geological exploration. Her studio's research is driven by a desire to connect disparate industries and technologies, seeking innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. Among other things, our conversation queries the fundamental materials of modern construction—concrete, steel, and wood—and confront the stark reality of their carbon footprint. Here Arnhildur prompts us to consider a radical shift: What if our buildings could emerge from geological layers, fashioned from locally-sourced materials in harmony with the natural environment? In Iceland, she has raised the potential of lava as a building material. One that in the last few months, has appeared through eruptions at a frequency beyond forecasts or expectations. Identifying the significant quantities of lava continually produced by the Earth itself, Arnhildur poses a question: Can we harness this abundant resource to build the cities of tomorrow, free from the constraints of traditional materials and their environmental impact?  When we look at the carbon footprint of our usual materials – cement, steel and wood, and consider these in terms of how much we as humans are forecast to build in the coming years, the goals of the UN to maintain global temperatures below 1.5 degree, feels improbable. So Arnhildur suggests that perhaps hypothetical thinking and the magical power of architecture to imagine a new world and new ways to build cities outside the current system; is what is required.

The Hearing Architecture podcast proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this episode, we speak with Lasse Lind of GXN, an independent, design-driven research studio that pioneers strategic sustainability within the construction industry.  Founded in 2007 by parent architectural office 3XN, GXN and now features over 20 researchers and consultants promoting a circular future by challenging the way we use and reuse resources in the building industry. At GXN, the architecture itself is not in focus, but rather the process behind the ideation and implementation of circularity in architectural projects.  In our discussion Lasse and I explore how these important research consultancies tackle the role in asking questions that there is often not time or space to ask within the architectural process. Lasse explains GXN's aim to provide insights into the preconditions that inform circularity on the construction site. We touch on the new types of conversations being had with developers, where the sustainability performance of a building is deemed as much a risk as the financial feasibility of the project. He talks of design teams upskilling, knowledge sharing and about knowing where we need to go, and the need to be much more aggressive in what we need to do, but how we are at the very beginning at understating what this means for design. Among other things, we spoke about the impressive Quay Quarter Tower, a collaborative project by the Danish office built a little closer to my regular home.  The Syndey project set an ambitious goal: to build new, whilst reusing as much of the existing building as possible and to set a lofty new standard for what is possible for adaptive reuse in architecture. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation.  Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Lasse Lind for your discussion. Thank you for sharing your stories and we are excited to envision a future where our industry enables us to make buildings as part of the climate solution and not the problem. Let's watch this space and we look forward to speaking with you again. Our sponsor Brickworks also produces architecture podcasts hosted by Tim Ross.

In episode 103 of White Canes Connect, Lisa Bryant and David Goldstein speak with Kat Bottner, the First Vice President of the Keystone Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania, a along with PhD candidates Abigail Nolin and Kayla Hepler from the University of Delaware's Department of Material Science and Engineering. They delve into their groundbreaking research on tactile aids aimed at enhancing accessibility for the visually impaired. The project, initiated through Kat's network connection and supported by a grant from the National Institute of Health, seeks to innovate beyond traditional raised bumps and lines used in Braille. Abigail and Kayla explain their focus on the material properties that affect touch perception, like surface roughness and chemistry, to create more advanced tactile stimuli. This could potentially revolutionize the accessibility of spatial information such as graphs, maps, and diagnostic tests. Kat's role as a consultant involves recruiting participants for the research and ensuring that their work remains user-focused. She also helps make the project's communication accessible, including braille labeling and proofreading. The research has shown promising results, with tests indicating that certain chemical coatings can be distinguished by touch, paving the way for new tactile aids. The team is excited about the potential applications, including more intuitive touchscreens and enhanced Braille displays, which could significantly improve the daily lives of the visually impaired by providing more detailed and accessible tactile information.

I've gotten to spend a little bit of time with Rob Shepherd over the years. He's working on soft robotics and all the different kinds of materials advancements that could really help us make robots that are more naturally integrated into the world. Things like polymer colloidal suspensions as inks for 3d printers so they can fabricate microfluidic devices, synthesizing single micron to millimeter scale parts in glass and silicon and all kinds of other stuff, like tiny gears. Imagine if you were trying to make a micro machinery like Swiss watches, but smaller. That's the kind of stuff that he worked on in the past and researched, developing pneumatic actuators, different kinds of elastomers and things that could maybe give us a real kind of muscles for robots. Also developing the kinds of walking and undulating movements that you would want robots to do once they got beyond just being these kind of rigid jerky things that we have now. This also gets really interesting when you're trying to make fingers for robots, which I'm personally obsessed with. I think it is a kingpin that's going to enable robots to start going to all the places they haven't been able to. We've seen some real progress on that lately. Rob is a great guy, super humble, willing to share everything he knows, which is a lot. Rob is an associate professor at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell university. We recorded this in Ojai, California in a In-n-out Burger, on a Friday night, when it was full of teenagers... So this is it also an exercise in using AI for noise canceling, post-facto. I know it won't be the cleanest recording you've ever heard, but I think it will be interesting to know that we ran the audio through a tool called AUDO, and AUDO is one of many. I don't have anything to do with them. I've talked to the founders few times. I think it's cool. There's probably other ones, I don't know what the best ones are, but I've been using AUDO, and it's able to do this remarkable job cutting out, like a hundred noisy teenagers, while Rob and I are just sitting there eating burgers, talking about robots. So hopefully you'll learn something from that as well... Important Links: Cornell University Organic Robotic Labs Llume Cornell Engineering Robotics and Autonomy Advanced Manufacturing and Materials About Rob Shepherd Rob Shepherd received his B.S. (2002) and Ph.D. (2010) in Material Science at the University of Illinois where his research focused on developing polymeric and colloidal suspensions as 'inks' for 3D printers. He also fabricated microfluidic devices to synthesize single micron to millimeter scale parts. Concurrently to performing this research, he received his M.B.A. (2009) at U of I and started a company, worked with several other startups, and gained significant experience with the details of market research, financials, accounting issues, and legal aspects of entrepreneurship. In 2010, he continued his education as a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University in George Whitesides's research group in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. In this group, he developed pneumatic actuators in soft elastomers that took the form of a machine capable of moving in multiple gaits: walking and undulating. These actuators have also been used for low-cost manipulators, and in concert with a microfluidic system for biomimetic camouflage & display.

The main hindrance to the development of renewables is the connection queue. Basically, grid operators tell developers “Sorry guys, we're full”. A recent study by RMI has proven that this is simply not true. Grid operators are either too conservative or not incentivized to take more load. Old solutions. Old thinking.Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are hardware and software solutions that are deployed within the existing transmission system, helping increase the capacity, flexibility, and efficiency of the current grid. They can perform functions such as rerouting power flows to avoid congested lines and providing data on real-time conditions that could enable more power to flow through a line when conditions allow — thus increasing our ability to best utilize the transmission infrastructure we already have.But beyond a better digital management, new technologies of cables are emerging, incorporating the best Material Science has to offer.  New conductor technologies could triple grid capacity with structures in the existing rights of way, while also reducing line loss by half.To talk about GETs and new conductors, we bring in Jason Huang, Co-founder and CEO of TS Conductor Corporation. Jason is PHD in material science and started his career in the aviation industry, working on civilian and military programs such as A350 and F35. TSConductor, supported by Breakthrough Ventures, NextEra and UK National Grid, is now rolling out a revolutionary new technology that will debottleneck the Grid and speed up the Energy Transition.  We thank our new partner AMUNDI, largest European Asset Manager and really committed to the Energy Transition   PS: 2nd minute - Laurent got “TO” wrong: it's Topography Optimisation, not Technology OptimisationThe RMI report is here:https://rmi.org/insight/analyzing-gets-as-a-tool-for-increasing-interconnection-throughput-from-pjms-queue/The story about Amazon and AI is here https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/03/08/amazon-says-us-utility-can-complete-power-flow-studies-in-hours-not-months/

In this special solo episode recorded at Q2B Paris 2024, Sebastian talks with Houlong Zhuang, assistant professor at Arizona State University, about his work in material science. Dr. Zhuang discusses his research on using quantum computing and machine learning to simulate high entropy alloy materials. The goal is to efficiently predict material properties and discover new material compositions.Density functional theory (DFT) is a commonly used classical computational method for materials simulations. However, it struggles with strongly correlated electronic states. Quantum computers have the potential to efficiently simulate these challenging quantum interactions.The research uses classical machine learning models trained on experimental data to narrow down the vast combinatorial space of possible high entropy alloy compositions to a smaller set of promising candidates. This is an important screening step.Quantum machine learning and quantum simulation are then proposed to further refine the predictions and simulate the quantum interactions in the materials more accurately than classical DFT. This may enable prediction of properties like stability and elastic constants.Key challenges include the high dimensionality of the material composition space and the noise/errors in current quantum hardware. Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms leveraging the strengths of both are a promising near-term approach.Ultimately, the vision is to enable inverse design - using the models to discover tailored material compositions with desired properties, potentially reducing experimental trial-and-error. This requires highly accurate, explainable models.In the near-term, quantum advantage may be realized for specific local properties or excited states leveraging locality of interactions. Fully fault-tolerant quantum computers are likely needed for complete replacement of classical DFT.Continued development of techniques like compact mappings, efficient quantum circuit compilations, active learning, and quantum embeddings of local strongly correlated regions will be key to advancing practical quantum simulation of realistic materials.In summary, strategically combining machine learning, quantum computing, and domain knowledge of materials is a promising path to accelerating materials discovery, but significant research challenges remain to be overcome through improved algorithms and hardware. A hybrid paradigm will likely be optimal in the coming years.Some of Dr. Zhuang's papers include: Quantum machine-learning phase prediction of high-entropy alloysSudoku-inspired high-Shannon-entropy alloysMachine-learning phase prediction of high-entropy alloys

Patrick Grant is a designer, clothing entrepreneur and a judge on the BBC TV programme The Great British Sewing Bee. Patrick was born in Edinburgh in 1972. His interest in clothes and in making things was evident from a very early age, along with a love of sport: his father was a rugby coach and trained Patrick and his friends. Some of his friends went on to represent Scotland and Patrick played for Scotland's under-19 team. He studied Material Science and Engineering at Leeds University and worked in industry for a decade. Then, after spotting an advertisement in a newspaper, he bought an ailing Savile Row tailoring company. It was almost an impulse buy, at great financial risk. After a shaky start, he turned the business around, and within five years he was named menswear designer of the year at the British Fashion Awards. Patrick went on to buy a factory in Blackburn, Cookson and Clegg. He is passionate about British manufacturing, and set up Community Clothing with the aim of making good quality affordable day wear. He has been a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee since the programme began in 2013. He divides his time between London, Blackburn and the Highlands.

Ever noticed that aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side? Why do you suppose that is? Maybe it is significant – after all some recipes call for it to be either shiny side up or shiny side down. But how much difference could it possibly make? Listen and find out. https://culinarylore.com/food-science:aluminum-foil-shiny-side-up-or-down/ Bet you didn't know that radio technology helped to create the quartz watch. Or that railroad technology reshaped how we celebrate Christmas. And how in the world did the telegraph change the way we speak? These are just a few of the fascinating ways older technologies have had an significant impact on how we live today. Ainissa Ramirez, is a material scientist and author of the book The Alchemy of Us: How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another (https://amzn.to/2UyQkCy) . Listen as she takes us on a journey through some of the fascinating technologies that continue to shape how we live our lives.  Humans are one of a very few species that actually sweat through the skin. The purpose of sweating is to help you stay cool. And how this cooling system works inside your body is really interesting. You have millions of sweat glands and what kind of climate you spent your toddler years in likely affected how many of your sweat glands were activated and how efficiently they work today. There's a lot to the story of human perspiration. Science writer Sarah Everts has gone deep into the research on sweating for her book, The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration (https://amzn.to/3AwyPTX) and she is here to explain.  You know if you have ever flown on an airplane, there are oxygen masks in the event of an emergency. So where do they keep the oxygen? And why do they tell you to tug on the mask to begin the flow of oxygen? Listen because the answer to that question is really going to surprise you. https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/do-airplanes-really-carry-oxygen-for-the-oxygen-masks.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
