Two hosts unpack the science behind the technologies shaping the future — nuclear, fusion, AI and more — in plain, jargon-free language, then follow the thread to the companies building them. Fast, friendly, and genuinely curious. Education, not investment advice. From the team behind the Fox'd app.

    The video game chip that runs AI

    A GPU was built to draw video games, yet it ended up running artificial intelligence. What it actually does, and why one company sells most of them.

    The tiny town every chip depends on

    Nearly every computer chip is made with quartz from one small town in North Carolina. Why that rock is so special, and what happened when a hurricane shut the mines.

    How a bubble forms and pops

    Why smart people buy at the top. Every bubble follows the same five steps, and nobody can be sure they are in one until it pops.

    Why a robot can't fold your laundry

    Robots can pass exams but still struggle with a T-shirt. Why moving is harder than thinking, and why so many robots are being built in our shape.

    Why oil, gas and metals swing from boom to bust. High prices pay for new supply, and when it finally arrives years later, it ends the boom.

    EVs running on salt

    Sodium-ion batteries are made from something as common as salt. What they give up, where they fit best, and why they are not cheaper than lithium yet.

    What's really stopping solid-state batteries

    Solid-state batteries could change electric cars. What would really get better, what is holding them back, and how to tell real progress from hype.

    Uranium, thorium, and the HALEU bottleneck

    What goes into a nuclear reactor. One number, enrichment, drives the whole industry, and the fuel everyone wants is one that almost nobody can make.

  9. 20/06

    What nuclear energy actually is

    How splitting an atom makes power. A pellet the size of your fingertip holds as much energy as a tonne of coal, and in the end a reactor simply boils water.
