Innovation Overground: Print better plastics with carbon fiber (303)
What’s light as plastic, strong as steel and less expensive per pound than the chassis of an Italian sportscar? Carbon fiber reinforced polymers, duh! Join the Overground as they extend their tour of the mind-bending world of materials science to the juncture of additive manufacturing, uncompromising structural rigidity and sustainable sourcing. It’s the only podcast in your feed that will point you in the general direction of building your own Pontiac Fiero chassis from locally sourced organic ingredients.

Innovation Overground: Carbon Nanotubes, churros and rebar (302)
Join us as we explore further innovation involving sheets of carbon – rolled up into a delicious churro of nearly infinite reinforcing strength: carbon nanotubes. It’s awesome rebar, it’s the business end of a molecular analyzer, its formed from advanced chemical deposition, and scientists are cranking it out – by the centimeter.

Innovation Overground: Return to Graphene (301)
We begin season three(!) as materials science makes astonishing leaps forward. Join the Overground as we shelter in place with a limited series on materials science innovation. First stop, friend of the show, Graphene! The crew discusses how graphene will be the optical interstate onramp to the rail network of our information science infrastructure... or something... and smart medical instruments that will measure your vitals while they save your life.
