Don't pull the Cable?

CRUISERS! This week we are covering some news on materials engineering research at the University of Rochester in NY. They have gotten us one step closer to superconductors that can operate in room temp and ambient temps. I have a special guest...Master Krieger to discuss this innovation. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! Tonight I have a special guest with me, my lovely sister, Josephine who is a fantastic artist. She studied to get her BFA at IU and currently teaches digital art in Maryland to high schoolers. We discuss the developments of AI created art and whether it really is art! What do you think? Enjoy.

CRUISERS! This week we are headed to the University of Louisville to look at how they are making an robot mimic human eye and head movement. This is fairly mathematical, but the gist of it is fun. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! Tonight we are exploring the work researchers at NYU worked on to study patterns of the city lights. They want to measure the 'pulse' of the city to help with emergency response, energy management, and more. It can be a little disconcerting to hear about this, but enjoy it either way!

CRUISERS! Thank you so much for tuning in, the show has been played 1000 times now. That's super exciting. This week we are headed to the University of Utah  to discover a unique engineering department focused on entertainment engineering. This spans all sorts of disciplines including criminal justice, intelligence communities, AI, and good ol' fashion cooking videos on YouTube. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This week we are learning about cell reprogramming. This is a very interesting topic and one that is debated about a lot in the medical community these days. The alchemy of turning blood cells into bones cells is tricky, but it doesn't necessarily require chemistry! All it takes is a cell juicer that squeezes the cells just enough to make them open to reprogramming. This is a huge advancement in the field of stem cell technology.

CRUISERS! This week we are headed to Carnegie Mellon to learn about a fascinating material they have synthesized called liquid crystal metals. They are not solids, they are not liquids. But rather in between and this makes it very talented in areas like contracting, conducting, and yes actually lifting weights. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This week we are headed...across the way to another Stanford lab to discover their new use of electrical stimulation to treat Binge Eating Disorders. Tune in for an interesting new step towards controlling our cravings. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! On this episode I have a special guest. Her name is Olya. This week we are going to head over to Stanford University to look into what it takes to train an AI brain. There is so much news recently about this hot topic and so I had to talk about this article I found on nature engineering which explains how we could train an AI on our phones in the future instead of using tens of thousands of computer hours in the cloud.  Enjoy!

Folks, it's an honest question. You choose. Friction surfacing can be accomplished either with high speed or high pressure. It helps cover cracks in stainless steel and can prevent catastrophes like Fukushima. The researchers at University of Wisconsin are here to help with more insight on high-speed friction surfacing. Enjoy!
