Listen "Episode 18: Sodium Ion Batteries and Fun-Sized Artificial Intelligence"
Episode Synopsis
Unfortunately, it is just me this week as we return to the regular format. To make up for that we have some sweet topics though! Learn a little about batteries and how sodium-ion batteries could offer a bridge to the electrified future. I did get carried away with electrochemical vocab on this one so bear with me. After that, we learn about all the cool developments and applications of fun-sized AI through TinyML. If you end up making a pocket-sized language translator let me know I would love to purchase it (yes I know you can download Google Translate onto your phone for off-grid use but that is boring). Thanks again for listening and stay curious!
