The Future of Everything on Apple Podcasts
265 episodes Host Russ Altman, a professor of bioengineering, genetics, and medicine at Stanford, is your guide to the latest science and engineering breakthroughs. Join Russ and his guests as they explore cutting-edge advances that are shaping the future of everything from AI to health and renewable energy. Along the way, “The Future of Everything” delves into ethical implications to give listeners a well-rounded understanding of how new technologies and discoveries will impact society.
Exploitation of Engineered Light-Switchable Myosin XI for Nanotechnological Applications
For certain nanotechnological applications of the contractile proteins actin and myosin, e.g., in biosensing and network-based biocomputation, it would be desirable to temporarily switch on/off motile function in parts of nanostructured devices, e.g., for sorting or programming. Myosin XI motor constructs, engineered with a light-switchable domain for switching actin motility between high and low velocities (light-sensitive motors (LSMs) below), are promising in this regard.
Shear-aligned large-area organic semiconductor crystals through extended π-π interaction
Small molecule-based organic semiconductors are of broad interest in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to their potential for high crystallinity and electrical performance. The 2D molecule, TIPS-peri-pentacenopentacene (TIPS-PPP), which is the vertical extension of the 1D TIPS-pentacene (TIPS-PEN) molecule, offers a lower bandgap, higher aromaticity, and an enhanced π-π interaction with neighboring molecules in the solid state when compared to TIPS-PEN.
Improved Computer Simulation Can Build Faster, Cleaner, Cheaper Planes

Underestimated [Entire Talk]
Strategy Backstage Capital founder and managing partner Arlan Hamilton built a venture capital fund from the ground up, while homeless. Her fund is dedicated to minimizing funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential founders who are people of color, women, and/or LGBT. Hamilton herself identifies as all three. Started in 2015, Backstage has invested nearly $7 million into 120 startups led by underestimated founders.
Species evolve ways to backup life's machinery
A new analysis of biological data reveals that every species from bacteria to primates has developed ways to bypass breakdowns in the networks of proteins vital to sustaining life. BY Tom Abate, Stanford Engineering Scientists have learned a lot about evolution by studying fossils, by observing nature and, more recently, by unraveling the genetic code stored in DNA.

Why Tech Founders Need a Moral Compass
Who is responsible for navigating the line between disruptive tactics and immoral behavior? Founders today hold significant power and influence, says Steve Blank, serial entrepreneur and lecturer in Stanford’s Department of Management Science and Engineering. Aspiring entrepreneurs can prepare themselves, and society, for better outcomes by developing a moral compass to guide them through difficult ethical decisions.
Maureen Fan - Animating Against the Grain
Maureen Fan, co-founder and CEO at Baobab Studios, shares how she blended her creativity and technical savvy in founding her virtual reality animation company. Undeterred by naysayers and an unforged path ahead, she encourages those with big imaginations to buck traditional career paths and to be persistent in asking for what you want.
New technique brings clean hydrogen fuel one step closer
In the quest for clean alternative energy sources, hydrogen is a favorite. It releases a lot of energy when burned — with a bonus: The major byproduct of burning hydrogen is pure water. The big obstacle has been getting pure hydrogen in sufficient quantity to burn. So scientists are studying hydrogen evolution reactions, or HERs, a type of water-splitting technology in which electrodes, covered with catalytic materials, are inserted into water and charged with electricity.
Stanford-led Team Simulates the Inner Strain on the Brain to Better Plan Surgery
“Our brains are enclosed in the limited space of our skull,” Weickenmeier said. “When they want to swell, there is no space, so the pressure inside the skull increases. This can become life threatening.” For more than a century surgeons have performed decompressive craniectomies to relieve that inner pressure, cutting a hole in the skull to allow parts of the brain to bulge out. But, as Kuhl explained, the shape of the brain is essential to its function.
Stanford engineers invent transparent coating that cools solar cells to boost efficiency
The quandary: The hotter solar cells get, the less efficiently they convert sunlight to electricity; The fix: A new transparent overlay allows light to hit the cells while shunting heat away Every time you stroll outside you emit energy into the universe: Heat from the top of your head radiates into space as infrared light. Now three Stanford engineers have developed a technology that improves on solar panel performance by exploiting this basic phenomenon.
