R&D 100 Episode 7

In this, the tenth episode of the R&D 100 Podcast, we examine the latest technology in superconducting magnets. These magnets have existed since the 1960s, but the field available has been limited by the properties of superconducting materials. So, VP, Editorial Director Paul J. Heney and Senior Editor Aimee Kalnoskas of R&D World spoke with experts at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University about their award-winning 32 T superconducting magnet, which won an R&D 100 Award in 2022. Designed and built at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory, this instrument is giving scientists unprecedented insights into the electronic behaviors of quantum matter and illuminating new exotic states of matter in topological materials.

R&D World editors Paul Heney and Aimee Kalnoskas are back, and this time they’re discussing a lot of news, in addition to the technology of the day. First, they delve into some important updates about the R&D 100 Awards for 2023 — and then dip their toes into the strange new world of AI images. See if you can beat Aimee’s guesses as to which press release images are real and which are AI generated. Then, it’s on to the main event, a look at the development of Tescan’s UniTOM HR, a 2022 R&D 100 Awards winner. This product is the first micro-CT system to deliver both sub-micron 3D imaging and high temporal resolution for 4D time-resolved studies. Hear why it’s so revolutionary and how the Tescan team worked to make it a reality.

R&D World editors Paul Heney and Aimee Kalnoskas have their minds blown — multiple times! — in this episode, which delves into Certara’s Simcyp COVID-19 Vaccine Model, a 2021 R&D 100 Awards winner. Paul interviews Piet van der Graaf, SVP and Head of Quantitative Systems Pharmacology for Certara and learns about the genesis of the model, as well as some stunning possible future uses for it.

Co-hosts Paul J. Heney and Aimee Kalnoskas, editors with R&D World magazine, talk pain in this episode — chronic pain and some new innovations in treating it. They hear from Lee Hartley and Jonathan Ruais of Nalu Medical about the development of the miniature implantable pulse generator (mIPG), a 2021 R&D 100 Award winner. Plus, there's information about the 2022 R&D 100 Awards competition as well as some of the latest content on the R&D World website.
