Send us a textWe've been told the future is all about code and algorithms, but what if the biggest breakthroughs in AI, electric vehicles, and space travel are actually waiting on a physical revolution? What if the next great bottleneck isn't compute, but the very materials we use to build our world?This week on The Altered Perception Show, we're joined by Dr. Pradyumna Gupta, a PhD in material science and founder of Infinite Lab—the "Uber of material testing." Dr. Gupta delivers a masterclass on why the next generation of technology will be defined by materials science. He argues that the current silicon-based world is hitting a hard physical limit, and the race is on to find the "wonder materials" that will unlock our future.In this episode, you will discover:*Why silicon alone can’t sustain the next wave of AI*How diamond, graphene, and 2D materials could change chips forever*The role of photonics in unlocking faster, more energy-efficient AI models*Why gallium nitride and silicon carbide are already reshaping EVs and power electronics*How material science could enable safer, longer space missions*The intersection of cutting-edge science, AI infrastructure, and human exploration00:00 Introduction00:28 The Role of Material Science in Innovation01:28 Welcome to the Altered Perception Show01:38 Meet Dr. Gupta02:15 The Importance of Material Science in AI05:17 Infinite Lab: The Uber of Material Testing09:06 Challenges and Innovations in Material Testing19:46 The Future of Space and Aerospace Materials27:35 Betting on the Next Decade's Key Materials34:03 Exploring Carbon and Silicon in AI Chips34:26 The Heat Dissipation Challenge in AI Hardware35:51 Diamond as a Thermal Conductor37:33 Future Materials for AI and Technological Systems38:57 Photonics: The Future of Computing44:55 The Role of Material Science in Various Industries46:17 The Future of Batteries and Energy Storage50:14 Hydrogen as a Fuel Source52:34 The Evolution of Electric Vehicles56:56 The Importance of Material Science in AI and Beyondhttps://www.instagram.com/the_altered_perception/?next=%2F
