Elon Musk's Neuralink always gets the spotlight for innovating brain technology, but a smaller company named Synchron may be leading the way. Synchron will be the first company to test implantable brain tech in human clinical trials!Sources:https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/synchron-raises-40m-for-u-s-trials-neurotech-helping-paralysis-patients-text-email-andhttps://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/medical-advances/565347-small-company-beats-elon-musks-neuralink-in-race?amp

Researchers from MIT, Caltech, and ETH Zürich banded together to create a nano-architected carbon material that was able to block particles moving at supersonic speeds!Source:https://news.mit.edu/2021/carbon-nanomaterial-light-strong-0624

How small can a robot be? Bionaut Labs, a Los Angeles-based startup, has developed robots at the microscopic scale to treat brain disorders.

Health agencies in Canada have banned the sale and distribution of masks containing graphene (a carbon nanomaterial) over health concerns.Article:https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/canada-bans-masks-containing-graphene-101617428707042-amp.html

I've been seeing a lot of news and talk about the semiconductor "chip shortage" that's been going on since last year. Here, I explain what the chip shortage is, what caused it, and how it will change the future of US manufacturing.Host: Ari Esters (me)

I’m power-walking on a windy day, so pardon the audio quality. In this episode, I share the plan I’ve put into motion for NanoJunkie: a new website (nanojunkie.com), weekly blogs, and interviews with companies and researchers, to name a few.

After a year and a half of silence, I'm finally continuing the NanoJunkie platform.

05-11-2019: NanoJunkie episodes will be paused until I get a new laptop. May take a few weeks or even a couple months..
