Season 4, Episode 5: NAMI (Nano and Advanced Materials Institute)
On the podcast today, the winner of two silver Edison Awards: The Nano and Advanced Materials Institute, known as NAMI, in Hong Kong.
NAMI has a long streak of innovation when it comes to advancements in nanotechnology. That continues this year with two more smart products: a new kind of bollard that keeps vehicles from hitting pedestrians and bandages that help prevent sports injuries.
Jenny Yiu, NAMI's Chief Operating Officer, is here to share what's happening at the nano level to create these big ideas.

Season 4, Episode 4: CAP3Nano by Qnergy
Imagine a world where we can eliminate methane gas emissions that contribute to rising temperatures across the globe... We can do that using a generator that works 24/7. And it's all based on a concept developed 200 years ago...the Stirling Engine.
Qnergy's innovation, the PowerGen CAP3Nano system eliminates methane emissions from off-grid natural gas wellpads. The engine is designed to capture raw, unprocessed methane that would otherwise be vented or flared and convert it into useful electricity and heat. The manufacturing results in a product that requires no scheduled maintenance for up to 8 years even in the harshest, most remote environments.
Qnergy CEO Ory Zik is with us today to talk about the impact.

Season 4, Episode 3: NEBULAE® SRS by Northgate Technologies Inc
Put yourself into the operating room... Look up. Would you expect to see smoke? That's right -- smoke, created during laparoscopic surgery. It clouds the surgeon's vision as they do their work through a camera and creates repeat exposure for everyone in the room, like nurses.
That's why Northgate Technologies developed a smoke removal system for laparoscopic surgeries: the Nebulae SRS.
Northgate Vice President and General Manager David McDonough joins us to explain how the Nebulae SRS solves several issues: removing smoke and reducing CO2 gas usage - lessening surgical time for patients and improving a hospital's carbon footprint.
