271: Self-Repairing Solar Panels

https://youtu.be/dRkqXHvU71o

The Polyfloss team is back with a game-changer: a mini plastic recycling machine small enough for your workshop. Matt reconnects with co-founders Audrey Gaulard, Émile De Visscher, and Christophe Machet to discuss how they're putting plastic recycling directly into people's hands - and why that matters.

Matt had the chance to chat with Thomas Jam Pedersen from Copenhagen Atomics about their small modular thorium reactor that they’re bringing to the market. It’s an interesting conversation that covers everything from nuclear safety to why thorium may be a positive addition to the future of nuclear power.

269: The Future of Thorium Nuclear Power - Copenhagen Atomics Interview

https://youtu.be/kAYdIpcDnZk

Today is a very brainy conversation. Matt had the chance to chat with Dr. Kyle Wedgwood and research intern Wiktor Wiejak from University of Exeter in England. Wedgwood’s a mathematician specializing in neuroscience, and he’s using a computer from FinalSpark. Matt just put out a full video on what’s special about these computers, but in short, they’re alive. They’re made up of bundles of neurons, also known as organoids, and Dr. Wedgwood is using them to explore what he calls “the fundamentals” of how neurons work.
