I Attract Miracles

I Attract Miracles — The Speculative Science Podcast We sit down with the architects of the next decade: scientists, founders, and inventors building the technology that sounds impossible until it isn"t. Each episode follows one breakthrough through three movements. The Origin, where curiosity turned a researcher into a founder. The Mechanism, where we make the science visceral. And The Dispatch, where the guest steps five to fifteen years into the future and describes, from the inside out, a day in

2026/10/23

What if the materials inside tomorrow’s screens and sensors could be grown in cells?Ivo Betke joins Claudio Flores of MIMOTYPE to explore fluorescent proteins: biological molecules that absorb and emit light. From searching for signs of life beyond Earth to developing new optical materials, Claudio’s journey connects fundamental questions about biology with the technologies we use every day.We discuss how proteins are grown, extracted and purified, the challenges of making them stable

2026/10/13

What if vivid colour could come from a material’s structure, without relying on coloured dyes?Ivo Betke joins Silvia Vignolini to explore structural colour: the way tiny structures interact with light to create the colours we see. From the brilliant blue of Pollia berries to cellulose-based materials, the conversation follows an idea from curiosity about nature to practical applications.We discuss alternatives to conventional glitter, the challenges of scaling up production, and what

2026/10/06

What remains when you remove every cell from a piece of tissue—and could it help us grow something new?Ivo Betke joins Ahed Almalla and Komali Valishetti of Renatrix to explore the extracellular matrix: the natural scaffold that surrounds and supports living cells. Starting with animal tissue already in the food supply chain, they turn this material into gels and bioinks for cell culture and bioprinting.We explore the delicate balance between removing cells and preserving the structure they

Dr. Enrique Solano: Useful quantum, on today's hardware

I Attract Miracles ·

2026/07/07

CEO of Kipu Quantum. Algorithms compressed to run on noisy, error-prone quantum processors — making practical quantum computation available a decade before the hardware is ready. A 2040 where quantum advantage is already invisible infrastructure.Enrique Solano grew up in Lima as the rebel child of engineers, the one who quit mechanical engineering in his final year. One of the most cited quantum theorists alive, he insists he is an artist first.His company, named in Quechua, makes a

Dr. Filip Rezabek: The root of trust leaves the planet.

I Attract Miracles ·

2026/06/30

Co-founder and CTO of SpaceComputer. A satellite in low Earth orbit is a computer no one can reach to tamper with. SpaceComputer relocates the hardware security root to orbit — where physical inaccessibility becomes the security model.Filip Rezabek carried one question from Prague to Seoul to a Cisco internship to TU Munich: how do you trust a networked system you cannot physically inspect? Securing cars led to securing blockchains, which led to a strange conclusion. The safest place to run

2026/06/23

CEO of EZKL. Zero-knowledge machine learning that lets any third party verify an AI model ran correctly on specific data — without seeing the model's weights or the inputs. A 2035 where "the algorithm said so" comes with a cryptographic receipt.Jason Morton came to verifiable AI through algebraic geometry, modeling neural networks as polynomial equations for fifteen years before that meant anything, then through science fiction and a failed attempt to buy Bitcoin on Mt. Gox.The problem that

2026/06/16

Professor of Physical Chemistry, Humboldt University Berlin. Sodium-ion batteries with Prussian blue electrodes — built from abundant, cheap materials, without lithium or cobalt. The energy storage breakthrough that makes the transition democratically available.Philipp Adelhelm stayed with batteries when they were a dead topic. A Stuttgart kid who read Al Gore and watched his father throw sodium into water, he chose chemistry that might help with climate change, back when everyone else was
