Portable Muon Beams, Sodium Batteries, and the Secret to Long Life (EP. 13)

1 tim 36 min•23 oktober 2025

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.
