      <itunes:summary>In this episode, we speak with Vince Jesaitis (VP at Arm) who explains how AI is shifting from big data centers to everyday devices, and what that means for speed, security, and policy.

Key takeaways:
•  AI will soon run on phones, cars, and earbuds without the cloud. This makes things faster, uses less energy, and is more secure.
•  Governments are racing to support chipmaking &amp; AI but complex rules make building new products harder.</itunes:summary>

By using these additives, concrete could become a &quot;carbon sink,&quot; which means it could potentially store more carbon than it emits, making it a more sustainable building material.

If we want to make long-term space missions, we need to understand <i>why</i> and <i>how </i>this muscle atrophy takes place. That’s exactly what the German Aerospace Center aims to accomplish with their smart T-shirt and astronaut Matthias Maurer will be the first to bring the modern era of fashion to the new space age during his upcoming mission in the ISS.</p><p> </p><p>(10:35) - <a href="https://www.wevolver.com/article/wearable-tech-aids-freedivers-cardiac-patients">Wearable Tech Aids Freedivers, Cardiac Patients</a>: <br />Freedivers are essentially superhumans and researchers want to leverage the mechanics of their physiology by using it to prepare cardiovascular patients for surgery. The key to this effort is accurate real time data which is where Carnegie Mellon University’s special headband comes into play. <br /> </p><p>Episode 37 was brought to you by <a target="_blank">Mouser Electronics</a>, Farbod & Daniel’s favorite electronics distributor :)</p><p>--</p><p>About the podcast:</p><p>Every day, some of the most innovative universities, companies, and individual technology developers share their knowledge on Wevolver.

The patient can either inhale or be injected with nanoparticles that’ll exit the body via urine and a paper test - similar to over the counter pregnancy tests - can be used to determine if the patient has cancer. Additionally, if the patient does test positive, the nanoparticles can be coated with a radioactive tracer to show medical professionals the source of the growth via PET scans.</p><p>(8:20) - <a href="https://www.wevolver.com/article/robotic-neck-brace-can-help-analyze-cancer-treatment-impacts">Robotic Neck Brace</a>: </p><p>Head and neck cancer is the 7th most common type of cancer in the world and doctors typically surgically remove a patient's lymph nodes to examine how the cancer will spread; however, this approach results in severe neck and shoulder pain. This type of pain is difficult to characterize because current methods are either too timely to set up or they’re simply inaccurate but that is exactly what a group of Columbia researchers hoped to address. Two professors have teamed up to create a robotic neck brace capable of recording a patient’s full range of head/neck motion. The duo have proven that by recording data before and after the surgery will allow medical professionals to understand what areas have been affected and what specific types of physical therapy to prescribe. </p><p>(13:55) - <a href="https://www.wevolver.com/article/shape-memory-alloys-might-help-airplanes-land-without-a-peep">Quiet Landing Airplanes</a>: </p><p>If you live near an airport (like us) then you know how disturbing the sound of planes taking off and landing can be. Fortunately, a team of engineers at Texas A&M University have proposed a design modification to the slats on aircraft wings that could reduce the noise generated upon landing to that of the quietest planes. Their simulations have been promising so now they will be working on creating a scale model to test out and hopefully it works so The Next Byte crew can have an easier time living near the airport. </p><p>--</p><p>About the podcast:</p><p>Every day, some of the most innovative universities, companies, and individual technology developers share their knowledge on Wevolver.

      <itunes:summary>We’re excited to announce our new podcast series called “The Next Byte”. 

Every day some of the most innovative universities, companies, and individual technology developers share their knowledge on Wevolver.com in the form of informative articles, case studies, video’s, and product descriptions. Next to the Wevolver website, we also share this content on a range of social media channels in order to make sure as many people get to see this knowledge. 

To ensure we can also provide this knowledge for the growing group of podcast listeners, we started a collaboration with two young engineers, Daniel Scott Mitchell and Farbod Moghaddam. Every week, they handpick and discuss the most interesting content that has been shared on the Wevolver platform and publish it in the new podcast series. 

You can expect interesting conversations around A.I, robotics, digital manufacturing, autonomous vehicles and other engineering related topics.

In this first episode you will learn more about the new podcast series and both Daniel and Farbod will talk about their backgrounds and motivations to launch this podcast.
