Superconducting to a Quantum Revolution – Superconductors are going to change the way we compute. These materials transmit electricity with zero resistance. As soon as scientists learn more about them and how to get them to work at room temperature, we’re off to the quantum computing races. Now a new major scientific discovery just brought us one step closer. Hear about it in my interview with the lead scientist of that study.

Synaptic Self – How much of whom we are rests in our brains? One neuroscientist wrote a book called “Synaptic Self” that explores the idea that we’re just one walking bag of meat controlled by neurons. I interview that scientist and author to find out more about this way of looking at ourselves.
