Ep.66 Discussion about Nuclear Waste storage with Jarkko Stenfors from Posiva Part 2
In this second part of the discussion about nuclear waste storage with Jarkko Stenfors from Posiva, we are discussing how the copper canisters containing the waste are treated and store in the long term. Also some explanation on what experiments and testing have been done to ensure the safety of the storage for hundreds of years. And finally we go into future scenario to hypothesize what could happen to the storage site when all the people that build it are not around anymore, what precaution need to be employed to keep it safe in the unforeseen future.

Ep.65 Discussion about Nuclear Waste storage with Jarkko Stenfors from Posiva Part 1
In this first part of the episode we are discussing about Posiva, how the nuclear waste is generated in the power plants and its short term storage. Then we start the discussion about Posiva's plans for long term storage in their underground facilities in Olkiluoto. In there the nuclear waste is transferred from the short term storage to copper canisters that will then be welded shut and moved to the final resting place over 400 meters underground.
In the next part we are discussing what happens to the canisters after they are closed and about all the testing done in the last 20 years by Posiva.

In this episode Juhana is finally back and we get to have another of the random discussions about different topics. A bit about the Chernobyl HBO series (go watch it), the robot vacuum-cleaner and the value of privacy. This is a topic that comes out here rather often because we apparently really care and, every time, we hope that people would also care more.
Finally for the real interesting stuff (at 28:00) we discuss a bit about the new 5 nm semiconductor manufactoring node that TSMC and Samsung are starting to produce. And with this comes a bit of future talk in the field.

Again I was left alone for this episodes and these are not easy to do without a proper discussion, the interest feedback is missing when speaking to a screen (at least my cat is here listening to me).
Anyway, this time I'm talking about some more EU project from railway network simulation to automatic maintenance and smart sleepers to automatic beer brewing technology with some new welding technology.
Hopefully this smaller episodes are not too painful to listen, we will try to go back to normal discussions from the next time!

In this episode I'm going through some results from a CORDIS results pack about nano-materials (Cordis website) while going a bit deeper into what Microfluidics is, some applications and roll-to-roll fabrication. The at the end a bit about printed electronics in connection with the roll manufacturing.
Microfluidics is a research field that focuses on small liquids amount and small hardware dimensions to work in laminar flow, this opens the possibilities for several applications in medical, chemical and more fields. The roll-to-roll production enables the cost of devices to be lower with high production capability.

Ep.52 Random rambling about emails, bathrooms and other stuff for the real 1 year worth of episodes.
To all the esteemed listeners,
We want to formally thank all of you for listening this podcast for so long. We finally reached the big milestone of 1 year of actual episodes and we are still planning on going. We will try to invite more and more interesting guests (while having easy access to professors in the university) and, hopefully, start the microfabrication series.
This episode was more for us since we are just having a random conversation among friends, we deserved after 1 year I think. If you actually get to the end let us know on Twitter, I'm curious to see how many get that far.
Again thanks and best regards,

In this episode we have a very interesting discussion with Anna Fait from ETH Zurich (Twitter @AnnaFeit and http://annafeit.de) about her research on inputs methods and optimization of keyboard layouts in particular the research on the new French official layout (more info here and here the layout (in French) ).
The discussion is about all the new input solutions that are researched from better typing to VR and how the research is performed. The french layout is the best example of that, using algorithms and real data from people typing to analyze where all the special characters in a keyboard should be placed.

Ep.32 Speaking Gin and Whiskey with Mikko from Helsinki Distilling company
Nice discussion as usual where we are still learning new things about distilling even after few episodes on the topic. And BTW if you can, try their Dry Gin, it is really worth as well as the other nice and sometimes a bit weird products.
You can find more about the distillery on twitter @HelsinkiDistill, instagram and their website.

Ep.30 Gin discussion with Moritz from Kalevala Gin
We discuss the small distillery story and how is it to run a distillery in just 3 people. Then we end up in random discussions about Gin as usual and I'm sure that everyone will find something new in this episode.

Ep.27 ALD surface chemistry and Simulations with Simon Elliott
Some discussion about simulations are performed and the computer hardware necessary. As usual we did not manage to get too deep into some particular topic because we need to keep the podcast in a good listening time but we will probably come back on the topic in the future.
Next week we will take a break from ALD and change the topic but we will be back with a guest from the industry to see the other side of the technology.

The techniques are presented with some exaples of application at the Coocon lab with a more in depth discussion of the latest research topic of ALD and thin film Li-ion batteries.
Again sorry for the non ideal audio quality, this always happens when we need to use Skype.

Ep.25 Industrial food production and research with Miia
Not surprising that a lot of the food is produced in a factory similar to at home but on a bigger scale. Most of the problems are coming from making a lot of the same food in an optimized and cleaver way. Enjoy the discussion and ask questions if you have some, Miia will surely be back at some point!

Ep.23 GIN discussion with Miika, CEO and Co-founder of Kyrö Distillery
The discussion goes from the story of the distillery to how to actually make an award winning GIN while waiting for the distillery's own Whiskey to hang out long enough in the barrels.
If you are interested in GIN or in the distillery business in general this will be a nice episode for you, it surely was for me. You always learn a lot when you speak to the experts!

Ep.19 Nuclear Fusion research with Pietro Part.2
It is really interesting for us to discuss the topic with an expert because the technology is well known by most of the people as being the future energy revolution but the details are much less known. We learn a lot and hopefully you will too.
I'm sorry about the audio quality but we needed to use Skype and a laptop microphone to record these 2 episodes plus I'm not too good yet at editing audio. Hopefully it is decent enough to listen because it is worth it.

Stick to the end for some nice bug stories encountered during development. There are developers that care about those bugs even if they are only affecting few users among the whole user base.
