Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/2R3o5UMJ0SI When you pick up a racquet at the tennis court, have you ever thought: “this feels great!” Or, “this doesn’t feel so great”? There’s a science to that! Sports equipment companies rely on feedback from amateur players, professionals, customers, and their employees to design better products by translating subjective data into materials engineering problems. This lets them improve on pre-existing designs on sports gear. We are joined by Koki Asahina, an MSE student from Georgia Tech who is currently a racket sports engineering intern at Wilson Sporting Goods Company, who tells us all about how the “feel” is crucial to the design and improvement of sports equipment, and the large role played by materials science in this.   🔹How feedback from players and users are used to improve racquet design 🔹How sports equipment are tested using industry-standard experiments 🔹Why simulations are useful to understand the relationship between material properties and their functions 🔹Why we need a worldwide standard of material specifications 🔹And much more!    We hope you enjoy the episode!

A resume mix-up landed a material scientist into a data scientist role. This happy accident led him to discover how data drives the design and operation of materials and experiments.   At its core, nuclear energy is all about generating electricity by converting water to steam to drive a turbine - very, very powerfully. But there’s a ton of data management that goes into its successful operation.   Our guest this week is David Pham, a senior materials engineer at TerraPower, who talks about his current projects Natrium, a Gen IV nuclear reactor, and ARMI, their in-house materials database solution. Join us as we also discuss:   🔹How data from materials, mechanical properties, chemical operations dictates the experiments and models in nuclear processes. 🔹 The importance of rigorous record keeping and data management in a sensitive field like nuclear energy. 🔹 The regulatory and auditing challenges in the nuclear industry, and how it departs from traditional sectors like oil and gas. 🔹 How data science will become more and more important for nuclear and material (and any kind of) engineers in the future. 🔹 And much more!    We hope you enjoy the episode!

What does it take to completely revolutionize the global energy infrastructure?    This is the Energy Transition.    We’ve done it before.    Once the value of gasoline was discovered and understood, gasoline production increased by orders of magnitude within just a few decades. How does this compare with the need to reach net-zero carbon emissions as soon as 2050? Are solar panels, batteries, and biofuels capable of such a meteoric rise?    In today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Reed Eisenhart, an Independent Consultant for Energy Transition Technologies. With him, we discuss all things Energy Transition, specifically:    🔹 What is the Energy Transition and how MSE’s can fill key roles in it.  🔹 The differences between innovating iteratively by improving existing technology (incrementalization) and creating something new (disruption).  🔹 How to determine if a new technology or invention is worth pursuing.  🔹 Key technical differences between sodium ion and lithium ion batteries.  🔹 And much more!    We hope you enjoy the episode!

Bakelite was discovered in 1907. Nylon was discovered in 1935, polyethylene in 1936, Kevlar in 1966. All of these discoveries were revolutionary and had years of work put into their discovery. Each major discovery is years apart. Maybe scientists took a trial-and-error approach, trying new ideas until they worked. Maybe some materials were discovered by accident. What if discovering new polymers was possible in just a few minutes?    In today’s episode, we discuss AI-assisted polymer discovery with Dr. Rishi Gurnani, Technology Development Lead at Matmerize. Check out the links below to see how to use Matmerize’s AI tool, PolymRize. Specifically, we discuss:    🔹 Approaches for how MSE’s can learn coding.  🔹 Case studies of how AI can assist in polymer discovery.  🔹 The difficulty of predicting the properties of polymers, given the interdependence of many material properties.  🔹 Challenges in AI, like getting high-quality datasets and overcoming the AI learning curve.  🔹 And much more!    We hope you enjoy the episode!
