Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I am starting something on the side called The Jump for Joy! One of my videos already has millions of views. So Please spread the word. thejumpforjoy.com 

CRUISERS! I know you've all been dying to hear exactly how I prep my shows, (I promise this is not just a filler episode because I have tons of homework and I didn't get to making an actual episode) so here it is!

Enjoy!

CRUISERS!  How high can you jump? 110ft maybe? This week we are popping over to UC Santa Barbarba where researchers have developed the highest jumping device ever. Will you be the next to break this record?

Enjoy!

CRUISERS! We are heading over to the good ol' U of A again to see what tricks they are using light on now. Optrode pacemakers are stimulation devices that use tiny lights rather than electrical shocks to induce muscle contraction. They are testing it in mice to gather more data on irregular heartbeats to help model human heart failures. 

Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This episode is especially interesting to me since my grandmother passed away of pancreatic cancer, so I hope you find as much meaning as I did in researching this new potential cure. Folks at Duke University have had surprising success with their new cancer treatment that wraps up the needed radiation in a nice little gel packet that can be directly injected into the tumor and complimented with a mild drug they developed or already proven chemicals to completely remediate the tumor. Their method has many benefits and many interesting technological applications! 

Enjoy!

Playing a little catch up this week y'all. I am working on an interesting episode though, so don't fret we will have our cruisin' session for this weekend soon. 

CRUISERS! It is time to face the facts. You know that if you listen to this show, there is a little bit of a smelly nerd that lives inside of you. Maybe it wasn't there before, but now is time to think about your body odor. That and other more important reasons is researchers at the University of Minnesota have successfully crafted a zinc nanoparticle infusion technique for silk, cotton, nylon, polyester and more. They are specifically looking at the applications for healthcare because their novel technique called Crescoating is the longest lasting and the most successful antimicrobial out there. 

Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This week we were heading to MIT and UofArizona to learn about the novel circuitry of a quantum computer use to communicate instantaneously across space. We get into the weeds of qubits, quantum networks, and entanglement. You know you are on the cutting edge when there is no Wikipedia page on the topic, and you have to read other research papers to understand it. Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This week we are exploring a relatively new concept in physics that could be used to move our metro trains effortlessly around the globe. I hope you enjoy this really crazy idea. An experiment you could try at home is sitting in your swivel chair and moving your hands back and forth to see how far you spin (if at all). 

Enjoy!

CRUISERS! This week we are headed to Duke University to explore shape shifting surface world. If you've read Dune, you'll get excited about this technology. But there are also practical applications including wearable technologies, laser alignment, and organic muscle mimicry. Enjoy! Also, thanks to all the cruisers who tuned into my first livestream! Catch me next week at 9am again for the next one.
