Today is a very brainy conversation. Matt had the chance to chat with Dr. Kyle Wedgwood and research intern Wiktor Wiejak from University of Exeter in England. Wedgwood’s a mathematician specializing in neuroscience, and he’s using a computer from FinalSpark. Matt just put out a full video on what’s special about these computers, but in short, they’re alive. They’re made up of bundles of neurons, also known as organoids, and Dr. Wedgwood is using them to explore what he calls “the fundamentals” of how neurons work.

Matt had an opportunity to talk to Tom Sahagian about retrofitting apartment buildings in NYC over to heat pumps. This was covered by Matt in his episode: https://undecidedmf.com/why-this-window-heat-pump-is-genius/

Tom works at the NYCHA, and teaches Analysis for Energy Efficiency at Columbia University's School of Professional Studies Master of Science in Sustainability Management.

He spoke to Matt about retrofitting older buildings with newer heat pump tech, why they landed on the model of heat pump they did, and why cities (not just NYC) are (and should) be looking at tech like this.

Matt spoke to Nicolas Orellana, Founder / CEO of O-Innovations, about their O-Wind Turbine. The turbine Nicolas designed can accept wind from any direction, horizontal or vertical, and is meant for chaotic wind in places like urban environments (think tops and sides of buildings!). Do you think this kind of innovation is worth exploring?

On today’s episode of Still To Be Determined we’re talking about the Yoshino “Solid State” battery and some of the controversy around it. There’s a lot to talk about … and definitely more to come on this topic.

Corrections:
24:15 - The name of the company is TechInsights, not Tech Ingredients.
