In aerospace and defense, every breakthrough is built on material science. From the alloys powering jet engines to the composites shielding spacecraft, innovation isn't just about design—it's about what the machines are made of.  Yet the way we discover and scale new materials hasn't meaningfully changed in more than a century. Research cycles drag on for decades, costs skyrocket, and supply chains remain fragile.  Meanwhile, other nations have poured resources into material science—developing advanced alloys, stockpiling rare earths, and in many ways, weaponizing the periodic table. That leaves the U.S. and its allies with a hard question: how do you compete with adversaries accelerating discovery while you're trapped in outdated cycles? The future of hypersonics, space defense, and even energy security depends on faster, smarter breakthroughs in material science. That's where Joe Krause and Radical AI come in. The New York–based startup is combining AI, autonomy, and materials expertise to compress R&D timelines from years to weeks—and slash costs along the way. In this episode, Joe shares how a cold call to a VC led to the founding of Radical AI, why aerospace innovation is fundamentally a materials problem, and what's at stake in a world where control of supply chains may decide the balance of power. You'll learn: How Radical AI's “materials flywheel” is redefining discovery and deployment Why rare earths and advanced alloys are now a geopolitical flashpoint What it takes to build a deep-tech culture driven by speed and mission Joe's journey from PhD researcher to founder—and how it could reshape the future of defense and space   Guest Bio Joe Krause is the co-founder and CEO of Radical AI. Radical AI is reinventing the way materials science is done and designing new materials for the world's needs. Harnessing the most advanced AI discovery engine and full-scale laboratory automation, they're pioneering a bold new era of innovation, accelerating the development of materials that transform human development. Radical AI is made up of a world-class group of materials scientists, physicists, engineers, and entrepreneurs.

In this episode of the Moore's Lobby podcast, we sit down with Antonio Di Vaira, Senior VP for Power Product of Schneider Electric to discuss the massive shifts happening in the world of energy distribution. The conversation kicks off by exploring how the explosive growth of electric vehicles and energy-hungry technologies like AI are pushing traditional power grids to their breaking point. He also explains that while building out new grid capacity is part of the long-term solution, the industry needs ways to sustain this growth in the short term. This sets the stage for a deep dive into microgrids. Di Vaira breaks down how intelligent software is needed to manage the complex orchestration between sources and loads. The discussion also explores the exciting potential of native DC (direct current) power distribution. As more sources (like solar panels) and loads (like EVs and data centers) are native to DC, creating dedicated DC microgrids can offer significant gains in efficiency and simplicity. The episode concludes with a look at the future of the industry. Di Vaira emphasizes the need for engineers to adopt a multidisciplinary mindset and the critical importance of staying customer-centric to drive true innovation. Meet Antonio Di Vaira Antonio Di Vaira is the Senior VP for Power Products in North America, Mexico, and Central America at Schneider Electric. He oversees strategy, R&D, market development, and go-to-market for the ANSI, NEMA, and LV portfolio, including Services.

No Azure for Apartheid (Noaa) is a worker-led group of tech workers within Microsoft, co-founded by Nasr. Its members are committed to exposing the complicity of specific technologies, including Microsoft's AI software Azure. _________________________ Occupied Tech In each episode, Paul Biggar introduces a new guest to break down the mechanics of the tech industry and how it powers Israel's genocide, apartheid and occupation – looking at the companies, investors and individuals behind it. And most importantly, spotlighting the people resisting this oppression. _________________________ Episode 1. Microsoft: Powering Israel's Genocide? Nasr exposes the company's major role in Israel's genocide and apartheid and discusses efforts to organise workers and activists to resist its complicity through the organisation he co-founded No Azure for Apartheid (Noaa). Noaa is a worker-led group of tech workers within Microsoft. Its members are committed to exposing the complicity of specific technologies, including Microsoft's AI software Azure. More than just a profit-seeking organisation, Nasr identifies Microsoft as a genocidal digital weapons manufacturer – as the most trusted tech provider for the Israeli government and military, Nasr explains how Microsoft aids Israel's combat and intelligence activities, storing illegally collected data to surveil Palestinians and more. Episode 1. was recorded back in June 2025, but new revelations reported recently in The Guardian also expose how Microsoft Azure servers in Europe have been storing ‘a million calls an hour' in an expansive Israeli surveillance operation against Palestinians – data used by Israel to conduct lethal strikes in its ongoing genocide on Gaza. _________________________ Support Palestine Deep Dive from as little as £1 per moth: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support _________________________ Hossam Nasr is an Egyptian software engineer and an alumnus of Harvard's Computer Science programme.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Steve Corbesero, Jr., Senior Director of Products and Solutions at MachineQ, a Comcast Company, about the findings from their new Lab of the Future survey. Conducted with Censuswide, the study gathered insights from more than 400 U.S.-based lab professionals, revealing both the opportunities and persistent pain points shaping modern laboratory operations. Steve unpacks why nearly 60% of labs still face unplanned downtime from equipment failures, missed calibration schedules, and asset location issues. We discuss how manual monitoring remains the norm for over half of labs surveyed, and why 14% have no monitoring system in place at all. Despite these challenges, there's a clear appetite for change, with 85% planning to adopt IoT solutions and 87% intending to integrate AI and machine learning into their workflows over the next two years. Our conversation explores the operational impact of disconnected systems, the risks of relying on spreadsheets, and the role of real-time monitoring in preventing costly disruptions. Steve shares practical examples of how IoT and AI are already helping labs shift from reactive to proactive management, from anomaly detection that reduces alert fatigue to intelligent data summaries that give lab managers actionable insights without hours of manual analysis. We also talk about the barriers holding some labs back from adoption, including pilot purgatory, budget constraints, and integration challenges. Steve offers his perspective on how future-ready labs will differentiate themselves—by embracing connected infrastructure, unifying data, and embedding AI into both scientific and operational workflows. If you want to understand what's really happening inside modern labs, and how emerging technology can transform efficiency, productivity, and innovation, this episode offers a clear, data-backed view of the road ahead.

The conversation dives deep into use cases involving traffic safety, public works, and policing, highlighting how cities are making faster, evidence-based decisions that improve safety, efficiency, and budgeting.Drew also discusses broader trends in smart city development—including Infrastructure 2.0—and how removing personal bias through data is reshaping policy-making across the public sector. The episode ends on a personal note, with Drew acknowledging the role of faith and resilience in building a fast-growing, VC-backed tech company committed to civic innovation.#SmartCities #UrbanSDK #GeospatialAI #InfrastructureInnovation #CivicTechLike to be a future guest on the show?

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Today, we discuss the importance of user experience for federal websites with guests Amanda Chavez and Rishi Vajpayee from Qualtrics. The expansion covers topics such as cost savings, automation, and the impact of unstructured data on how websites provide information. COST SAVINGS Older systems in the federal government may have been designed to optimize for one function. When new administrations are elected, it is possible that alterations can be made, and the existing system can lead to inefficiency and slow data utilization. During the interview, Amanda Chavez details how a company like Qualtrics can help federal leaders understand friction points. This is especially effective when making a transition to the cloud. Bottlenecks are identified, and the remedy is provided, enabling the complete flexibility of the cloud to be leveraged. AUTOMATION Federal agencies are encouraged to do more with less. Automation can provide the solution to this challenge. Frequently, self-service channels can provide information to citizens faster and more reliably than a traditional human in a call center can. UNSTRUCTURED DATA Rishi Vajpayee discusses some of the weaknesses in how surveys about web experience have been conducted. He notes that unstructured data, such as text, email, and feedback, provides a much richer and deeper understanding of how to enhance a website's effectiveness. Qualtrics' upcoming federal summit in August aims to address these issues and improve service delivery. The Qualtrics Federal Summit event in August 2025 will discuss improving the federal website.  

Palantir (PLTR) shares hit a new record high, and Dale Smothers calls the "difference maker" between it and competitors is how it utilizes A.I. He has a hold on the stock after its massive rally, though Dale sees Palantir leading the A.I. revolution. Ali Mogharabi believes "everything looks good for this company" outside of the valuation. He points to Palantir's accelerating revenue growth as reason behind the stock's year-over-year surge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join us in this episode of Skin Anarchy as Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Ohad Bendror, founder and CEO of NanoSpun Technologies, to explore one of the most radical shifts in skincare: living, on-demand microbiome delivery. While most brands tout probiotics with shelf-stable claims, NanoSpun is building something entirely different—a biological platform that brings real, live cells directly to your skin.Ohad reveals how NanoSpun's technology works like a biotech engine—activating 100 billion+ live bacteria only when it hits your skin, preserving potency like “freshly squeezed juice.” It's not just delivery—it's a living factory in a face mask.This isn't about trends—it's about disrupting four major layers of the skincare model: real live cells, shelf-stable dormancy, on-demand activation, and functional delivery systems. The result? Postbiotics synthesized in real time, tailored to skin concerns like acne, aging, or sensitivity.NanoSpun isn't just a brand—it's a platform. From white-labeled partnerships to its in-house line Biotica 1905, it's redefining what skincare can do. Clinical results show improvements in hydration, redness, and fine lines in just weeks.If you've ever wondered what comes after serums and synthetics—this is it. Tune in to hear how NanoSpun is building the biological infrastructure of beauty and why the future of skincare is very much alive.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to NanoSpun and Ohad Bendror(1:03) The Birth of NanoSpun and Its Core Technology(2:30) Explaining Postbiotics and Their Relevance in Skincare(4:46) The Four-Layer Disruption: A New Approach to Skin Microbiome(7:51) Solving the Shelf Life Problem and Maintaining Bioavailability(9:57) The Role of Live Cell Technology in Skincare(14:03) Scaling and Customization: How NanoSpun Works for Different Skin Needs(19:19) The Future of Personalized Skincare with NanoSpun and AI(27:06) The Long-Term Roadmap and Potential of NanoSpun TechnologyTo learn more about NanoSpun, visit their website and social media.Learn more about Function Health and join using our link.

My guest today is Zach Dell. Zach is the co-founder and CEO of Base Power Company. Base is a modern power company building a reliable and affordable home energy service powered by distributed batteries. We explore one of the most underappreciated machines in our world: the electrical grid. Zach walks us through the complex world of electricity infrastructure and explains why the 100-year-old grid is woefully unprepared for the explosion in demand coming from AI, electric vehicles, and industrial electrification. Base's approach involves creating a distributed network of home batteries that provide backup power to customers while serving as grid resources, elegantly solving infrastructure bottlenecks that plague traditional utility-scale projects. We discuss energy as the fundamental enabler of human progress, scaling distributed energy assets, and the vertical integration strategy driving Base's unit economics.
