I talk with Alvy Ray Smith about the birth of Pixar and the pixelization of human knowledge.

How does the universe meet its end? Will it drift into a frozen void, collapse in on itself, or be torn apart by dark energy? In the 3rd episode of The Fundamental Why, Cary and Saahil explore both physics and philosophy: from heat death, the Big Crunch, Big Rip, and vacuum decay to cosmic nihilism, eternal recurrence, and determinism. Can we even know how it ends—and does that knowledge even give meaning to existence? Join us as we close the loop from the birth of the cosmos to its ultimate

This episode of Physics World Stories explores a new book that restores women to the early history of quantum mechanics

Welcome to another episode of Impact Quantum! This time, we dive deep into the intersection of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship with Henning Deccant, co-founder of aqbnet. Join host Frank La Vigne and co-host Candice Gillhooly as Henning shares his unique journey from physicist to quantum entrepreneur, offers insights on the evolution of quantum computing from the days of D-Wave and early IBM innovations to today’s hybrid quantum-classical breakthroughs, and unpacks

What do grape jelly and global transformation have in common? In this playful yet profound episode, Dr. Julie Krull shares a sticky springtime story involving orioles, forgotten feeders, and a message from the natural world: be like grape jelly. Through the wisdom of winged messengers and the mystery of magnetic attraction, Julie explores how we become a living broadcast of resonance—an irresistible force for coherence, love, and the dawning unitive age. This episode is a tuning fork for your soul,

Join host Dr. Arun Seraphin for a conversation with Dr. George Dougherty, who is a retired Air Force Colonel with deep experience in the Air Force Science & Technology Enterprise. In this episode, Dr. Dougherty discusses his forthcoming book Beast in the Machine: How Robotics and AI Will Transform Warfare and the Future of Human Conflict. This episode provides a preview of the book's central themes and a discussion about the future of robotic warfare and AI-enabled systems. Additionally, we

In part two with Online Safety Consultant Troy Hunt (Have I Been Pwned), we unpack the risks of online age verification in light of Australia’s social media ban, including the personal data (often times photos or government documents) sites may demand, and how these security practices can be questionable.  Troy explains why we should be thinking more about data minimisation and the dangers of unnecessary data retention. We go through the safest multi-factor authentication methods, from SMS to

Ikhwan Khaleb tells the story of moving from Malaysia to study in the University of Michigan’s NERS program, learning reactor physics in a second language, and turning TikTok into a platform for clear, visual nuclear education. We cover UMich coursework and labs, cultural adaptation, the grind of an international job search, and how engineering work at Holtec fuels his social media explainers.Links & ResourcesUniversity of Michigan — Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences (NERS) —

In this episode of I’m Finally Reading My Brother’s Book, Clay and Gavin dive deep into some of the strangest and most fascinating ideas in physics. What does it mean to be inside a wave function? How should we think about space itself—not just as emptiness, but as something with structure and meaning? Along the way, we explore the “music” of the Big Bang, why imaginary numbers are essential to quantum mechanics, and the mind-bending fact that certain particles need to spin 720 degrees instead of

In Episode 121 of Entangled Things, Patrick and Ciprian are joined by István Szilveszter, software engineer at Equal1. Together, they dive into the evolving world of quantum computing frameworks, the importance of developing industry standards, and the challenges of making quantum more accessible. From lowering barriers to entry to shaping the future of how we build and collaborate in quantum technologies, this conversation explores what it takes to turn bold ideas into practical innovation.&...

The devastating 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California serves as a haunting reminder of how rapidly wildfires can overwhelm communities. We have not known anything like it - the flames raced through Paradise at four miles per hour, 30,000 residents had mere minutes to evacuate, and many couldn't escape in time. What happens when the fire goes worse than worst case scenario, but still people need to escape? How do we protect lives when escape routes are blocked by fire or gridlocked traffic? ...
