Transcending the Limits of Microchip Fabrication: Extreme UV Lithography, Part 1 of 2

The development of mobile phones has brought great convenience to users. How can such a small device have so many functions? The answer lies in its sophisticated “brain” — a whole collection of microchips. Inside a chip are a large number of densely packed circuit elements, which can contain billions of transistors. The size of each transistor is approximately one thousandth to ten-thousandth of a

Desalination: A Solution to Freshwater Shortage, Part 2 of 2

Can we economically convert our abundant salt water on the earth into fresh water? Yes, we can! On today’s show we’ll introduce more innovations in seawater and brackish water desalination. One of them is “Pervaporation”. It is a cheaper, simpler, and potentially cleaner way to turn seawater into drinking water as compared to conventional methods.

Desalination: A Solution to Freshwater Shortage, Part 1 of 2

Today, approximately 700 million people in the world suffer from water scarcity. By 2050, it is estimated that number could rise to 5 billion people. Yet 70% of our earth is covered in salt water. How can we convert this water into freshwater? In this program, the technology of Desalination is introduced. The two main types of technologies currently being used are the membrane and thermal methods.

Colin Humphreys, a professor of materials science at Cambridge University said: “People have said you can’t predict earthquakes, people have tried. We’re now saying we believe for the first time we can predict an earthquake in a laboratory. The ability for AI to identify low rumblings which get increasingly stronger as a quake approaches could save countless lives”. The scientists involved believe
