In this episode, we discuss how a PhD student from the Technical University of Eindhoven might’ve cracked the code for high performance computer vision without compromising efficiency.

In this episode, discuss how big of a problem lead contaminated water still is across the world and how a collaboration between MIT & Nanyang University plans to tackle it with a highly accurate and inexpensive water pollution sensor.

In this episode, discuss how a team from Carnegie Mellon University spearheading non-invasive brain computer interface solutions has had a significant breakthrough in improving their accuracy.

In this episode, we discuss how researchers at the University of Michigan were able to reduce traffic in a small city - to the extent of saving ~3 days per person per year - using GPS data from connected cars and smart stoplights.

In this episode, we discuss research coming out of George Mason University which could provide an affordable and accessible way to get clean water using spent coffee grounds as a filter!

In this episode, we discuss research coming out of Columbia University to better connect humans with robots by having them detect, process, and respond to facial expressions!

In this episode, we discuss research coming out of George Mason University where the RobotiXX lab has been training robots to drive more like humans - as in adjust driving based on the road conditions, not texting and driving - to make agile and safe autonomous vehicles a reality.

In this episode, we talk about how a fashion company spun-off from MIT has developed the world’s first truly one-size-fits-all garment.

In this episode, we discuss a breakthrough from ETH Zurich to mimic natural foot signals to the brain using state of the art neuroprosthetics.

In this episode, we discuss a breakthrough from an EPFL researcher which promises to finally make hydrogen a feasible source of energy by extracting it efficiently from ammonia.

In this episode, we discuss how CalTech researchers have created bionic jellyfish to help us explore the oceans and better understand the impacts of climate change.

In this episode, we discuss a novel sticker capable of monitoring the health of organs in real time allowing for more successful organ transplants and catching signs of diseases earlier than ever!

In this episode, we discuss how Dyson - the company best known for their vacuum cleaners - has created an automated and sustainable farm to harvest the best possible strawberries with the least amount of environmental impact.

In this episode, we talk about the initiative from PolySpectra to generate 3D CAD models from text using AI.

In this episode, we talk about how a driven undergraduate student from Columbia University mapped fingerprints from different fingers of the same person - which was widely known to be impossible by the experts in the field - using publicly available data and machine learning.

In this episode, we discuss the shortcomings of previous attempts at making flexible wearable sensors and how researchers at CalTech have addressed them to create high performance stress sensor stickers.

In this episode, we talk about MIT researchers making a smart tool (like a robot scientist) that uses AI to understand and explain how other AI brains (neural networks) work. It's like having a detective who can figure out what's happening inside a complex machine.

In this episode, we talk about a new AI designed catheter that is 100x safer than and how it came to be after a passive conversation about fun facts between two researchers.

In this episode, we discuss the breakthrough in tissue engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute which enables the creation of skin tissue with functional hair follicles and its benefits to the medical field.

In this episode, we talk about how a soft robotic exoskeleton from Harvard and Boston University is allowing patients suffering from Parkinson’s Disease to get their independence back by being able to walk safely without extra assistance.
