Are you interested in AI-driven urban transformations? Debate of the article titled The fundamental issues and development trends of AI-driven transformations in urban transit and urban space from 2025, by Haishan Xia, Renwei Liu, Lu Li, and Yilan Zhang, published in the Sustainable Cities and Society journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Josh Rands in episode 368 talking about AI prediction for urban transportation. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can utilise AI and Machine Learning tools and techniques to uncover non-linear urban relationships. This article highlights that AI technology helps address the spatiotemporal imbalance and proposes a future of human and artificial intelligence collaboration.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Changes in transportation demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping urban spatial structures, and the continued development of AI is expected to exacerbate the spatiotemporal imbalance between urban spatial structures and transportation behaviors. Studying the interaction between urban transit and spatial factors helps to achieve precise alignment between structures and behavior. This study demonstrates the immense potential of AI technologies in uncovering complex, high-dimensional, non-linear interactions between pertinent factors using clustering analysis and further reveals the urban transformations induced by Urban AI and their broader macro impacts. A multi-factor equilibrium model of human and artificial intelligence is also proposed as a direction for future research, aiming to help scholars familiarize themselves with the latest trends and emerging technologies as well as to provide inspiration and guidance for future studies.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.325R - Economic and social impacts of public transport investments: A scoping literature reviewNo.326 - Interview with Sarah Bridges about the potential benefits of public transportationYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠⁠⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

Megan Masterson presented research on tidal disruption events (TDEs) observed using the James Webb Space Telescope, which has revealed previously dormant black holes becoming active and providing insights into their environmental effects. The discussion covered the physics of TDEs, including their impact on surrounding gas and dust, as well as the challenges of studying dormant black holes and their relationship with galaxy size. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the limitations of current telescopes, the importance of time-domain astronomy, and the potential impact of the Golden Dome project on the space industry.Megan, a graduate student at MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, discussed the discovery of tidal disruption events (TDEs) using data from the James Webb Space Telescope. These events occur when a star is torn apart by a supermassive black hole's tidal forces, producing a temporary flare of emission as the material is consumed. The James Webb Space Telescope's ability to detect these events in the infrared band has revealed previously dormant black holes becoming active, providing insights into the effects of these events on the surrounding environment. Megan spent the first part of the program explaining this subject and the fact that JWST had actually confirmed a long standing theory.David asked Megan about the real time today effects of TDEs from 130 million light years away. Megan explained that intense radiation from matter being dumped onto black holes would strip electrons from atoms, ionizing gas and blowing dust to shreds, creating a cavity with little dust and hot ionized gas. She described this as a cocoon or shell of hot dust that the James Webb Space Telescope observes. John also inquired about dormant black holes, something Megan clarified that they are not actively accreting material from their surroundings. Megan explained how most blackholes are studied through accretion, noting that dormant black holes are challenging to observe. She discussed the correlation between galaxy size and black hole mass, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between them. She also touched on the James Webb Space Telescope's role in studying black hole growth and the mysteries surrounding their formation and dormancy.John mentioned a new paper on black holes with Megan Masterson, highlighting the surprising rapid timescales of their activity despite expectations of PhD-level timescales. M mentioned working with a team including Kara, Christina Ellis, and Kisha Dean from California University, along with collaborators from other institutions. John went on to announce that in the second part of the program Megan would be given an unlimited budget to make the next best decision following this discovery. Megan told us what she would with such an unlimited budget.Megan discussed the limitations of the James Webb Space Telescope's field of view and the need for multiple missions to survey the sky in different wavelength bands, particularly in X-rays. She emphasized the importance of time-domain astronomy for understanding astrophysical phenomena and black hole growth. She also touched on the potential impact of the Golden Dome project on the space industry and defense stocks, noting that while some are optimistic about the funding it could provide, others are skeptical about cost overruns.AI can make mistakes.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Dr. Berzin, named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, shares insights from his journey from MIT's Center for Space Research to becoming a leading figure in sustainability and biotechnology. Dr. Berzin explains the unique properties of microalgae, emphasizing its efficiency in photosynthesis and ability to produce 100% nutrition with zero waste. They discuss the critical nutrients found in microalgae, such as Omega-3s, Vitamin B12, and bioavailable iron—essential for overall health, especially for women. Dr. Berzin highlights the shortcomings of traditional food sources like meat and plant-based foods, where much of the plant material becomes waste. He also discusses how fish derive their Omega-3s from algae, and how humans can skip the middleman by going straight to the source with microalgae supplements. The conversation shifts to Orlo Nutrition, where Dr. Berzin leads efforts in producing algae-based products sustainably. He discusses how VAXA's innovative technology ensures a consistent quality of microalgae and eliminates issues like unpleasant taste and odor, making the products not only nutritious but also enjoyable to consume. Dr. Tassone and Dr. Berzin explore how algae-based products from Orlo are made with minimal environmental impact, emphasizing the use of geothermal energy in Iceland to achieve a carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative footprint.Key Topics Discussed:The nutritional power of microalgae: Omega-3s, Vitamin B12, and bioavailable ironMicroalgae as a sustainable solution with zero wasteHow Orlo Nutrition's algae products maintain consistent, high-quality nutritionThe innovative production process at Orlo that makes microalgae supplements more palatableThe environmental sustainability of algae farming with a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative footprintNotable Quotes:“Microalgae are world champions in photosynthesis—100% nutrition, no waste.” – Dr. Isaac Berzin“Iron in spirulina is 6.5 times more bioavailable than in beef.” – Dr. Isaac Berzin“The algae production phase is carbon-negative.

2024 is an exciting year for lunar exploration. For Inside Science this week Marnie Chesterton investigates the planned missions to the Moon over the next twelve months. It's been more than fifty years since the last manned mission to the Moon was completed. But that's about to change with NASA's upcoming Artemis II mission. This will not only be the first manned lunar flyby of the Moon since 1972, but also the first mission to have a woman and person of colour on board.
