Insane levels of electrical power are needed to support AI in datacenters, and the electrification of mobility means development of remote locations for the extraction of critical mineral resources including the powering of fully electric 1MW mining trucks. A number of startups are developing Small Modular Reactors in the 20MW to 500MW power output range, requiring extensive site development, construction and support resources, but Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. is uniquely positioned in the microreactor space with two commercial microreactor designs that output up to 5MWt with the complete electrical generator housed in an ISO shipping container.

Devices are becoming more intelligent and can be tailored to be patient-specific, making a medical device that not only provides for the whole population, but can also really target the patient cohort or the target group of the disease or condition that must be treated or diagnosed.

There are many recent advances that have enabled medical advice development, from the sensors to the software, and in this episode, we talk to Dr. Visa Suomi from MathWorks about the complexity and inter-functionality of advanced medical devices.

All electrical systems need power and these days most systems need a steady, efficient, and cost-effective source. Solutions like switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are now common but not necessarily easy to design or select.

Guest host Bill Wong talks with Frederik Dostal, a power supply expert with Analog Devices and also the author of the regular Dostal’s Design video/article series covering power supply design tips.
