In this episode, we talk about how a group of researchers at the University of Michigan have gained a thrust output 10x greater than what was thought to be possible by challenging preconceived limitations and how their breakthrough could hold the key for deep space travel.
It was believed that running more propellant through a Hall thruster would wreck its efficiency, but new experiments suggest they might power a crewed mission to Mars.

In this episode, we talk about how ambitious, non-rocket propelled payload launching technologies can revolutionize the space industry in the not-so-distant future.
SpinLaunch is a California based startup that wants to revolutionize the space industry with a novel, sustainable, and cost-efficient method of delivering payloads to low earth orbit.
In this episode, we talk about UMich’s new aircraft wings that mimic birds, MIT research that aims to deploy digital twins at scale, and how NASA is repurposing an old weather satellite to monitor microplastic pollution.
In this episode, we talk about the benefits of an artificial nose, how to turn wastewater into energy while filtering it, and a proposal from ETH Zurich to change how we think about drought insurance.
