About this listen
Aloha internet — Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary return with three extraordinary research stories: portable muon beams, sodium-ion batteries, and the secret to long life.
Summary
• Lawrence Berkeley’s compact muon beam technology and its applications in archaeology, volcanology, and security.
• UC San Diego + U Chicago’s solid-state sodium battery that rivals lithium in power but not in cost.
• Tongji University’s naked mole rat DNA study uncovering a genetic pathway for longer, healthier life.
