All Episodes

Matt and Sean discuss biochar and other carbon capture methods that may overlap to help manage human generated CO2.

Matt and Sean discuss solar panel tech advances in efficiency breakthroughs, organic solar cells, perovskites, and multi junction solar panels.

Matt and Sean discuss what to expect when breakthroughs miss their moment. Are solid state batteries in danger of missing their moment to other technologies like lithium sulfur or Tesla’s new 4680 battery cells, chemistry, and structural battery pack?

Matt and Sean discuss the potential of seaweed as a plastic replacement.

Matt and Sean discuss a Death Star we can all be excited about… that’s drilling with nuclear fusion technology, a gyrotron, for affordable geothermal energy.

Matt and Sean discuss accidental discoveries that push technology forward, like Drexel University and their lithium sulfur battery breakthrough.

Matt and Sean discuss letting physics do the heavy lifting via heat pumps in our homes for heat and air conditioning.

Sean is out, so Ricky Roy from Two Bit da Vinci is joining me to talk about his experience with solar panels on his home. Between the two of us we’ve got experience with solar panels in dusty California and snow covered Massachusetts.

Matt and Sean discuss how quantum computers may impact our lives, whether they’ll be in our homes, and how our days might change the quantum world.

Matt and Sean talk about hydrogen as a future means of energy storage, or an “also ran” for the memory vault? Will it every stack up against things like lithium ion batteries?
