In the last episode, we explored Hampus' journey from mandatory military service to university, where they started their company with the sole goal of not working for a big corporate entity. Throughout this time, he experienced a lot of paradigm shifts, learning that not only can he solve problems he thought he wouldn't be able to, but also being a…

The climate crisis is one of the most urgent challenges we face today. And while there are many different things one can do as an individual, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. Hampus, like many of us, felt that way when he was working as a venture capitalist after selling his company to BlackBerry. But instead of letting it pa…

In this second part of Deep Tech Stories, we dive into the founding story of Cerebriu and how Robert Lauritzen and his co-founders struggled with CoViD and GDPR, making it nearly impossible to get their software past hospital management and into scanners. So it is 2018 and Robert and his co-founders just came together to form Cerebriu with 6 months…

Have you ever laid inside an MRI machine, listening to the loud buzzing and thumping sounds, wondering what's going on outside? It's a strange experience, lying there, helpless, relying on the machine to give doctors a glimpse inside your body. But in the end, the doctors still need to interpret that glimpse by themselves, often with the help of a …

So it's 2012, and Casper is at the end of a sabbatical he started after leaving the hardware startup he started during his studies, Unispeed, at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Just as he was starting to head back into the job market, deep learning achieved a major breakthrough in object classification, propelling the technology to the heig…

Modern AI in particular, so-called deep learning is everywhere. Alone in the last few months, a new generation of image generation based on text prompts emerged that is arguably on par with human artists. However, in many crucial applications, the black-box nature of such models is a problem. If you want to let the AI drive a car, no regulator or d…

In this second episode with Martin Hassler Hallstedt in Deep Tech Stories, we continue where we last left off. Martin just finished his PhD degree in Psychology. The degree he started with the purpose of building an app, making the most recent empiric learning research available to kids teaching them maths. If you enjoyed this episode, why not reco…

If you look at the majority of education systems, you'll notice that there is little to no change between today's kid's experiences and their parent's or grandparents. Yet the rest of the world never stopped evolving. Our old education systems are just not suited anymore to cope with the requirements of the modern world. Especially when it is estim…

26:50

For some people, the entrepreneurial path seems like the most obvious. Others fall into it after a long time of trying out other things. Other people again actually never start a company but have so much operational talent and domain knowledge that they've learned throughout their career, that they still end up as the spearhead of the company. Kari…

Earlier this year, the European Union approved ending the sale of vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035 to reach the carbon emission targets by 2050. This means, from 2035 on, you will only be able to buy electric vehicles. And while EVs have seen an impressive leap in reach and accessibility in the last decade, there are still many thi…

In the last episode, Mahmoun Taher explained what Graphene is and dove more into the details of what they're doing at Graphmatech to accelerate commercial application. Like many Deep Tech companies, Graphmatech started based on research at University. In this case, Mahmoun's research as a PostDoc at Uppsala University lead to him starting Graphmate…

In the modern age, we have become quite the experts at designing and coming up with materials for specific purposes. Depending on the desired property, we can mix different compounds to get whatever we want. And now and then we come across a new material hailed as the new super material. In the last century that was plastic, and now through a Nobel…

The start-up news is dominated by headlines of who got how much funding, so it seems as if funding is the only thing that you need to succeed. But if you look at a few of the previous guests, a lot of them struggled one step earlier. Vultus Robert Schmitt started out flying Drones over fields, before switching to satellite pictures. Aslak Stubsgaar…

In the last episode of "Deep Tech Stories", Jacinto Sá explained Peafowl Solarpowers proprietary solar cell technology. We explored how the plasmonic approach completely differs from a normal solar cell and how they make it transparent. (Can go a bit longer here) However, we didn't touch on how they went from their original research to starting a c…

Ever since the first photovoltaic cell in 1954 by Bell Labs, the basic principle behind the technology stayed the same. Exploiting the photoelectric effect, first explained by Einstein in his miracle year of 1905, a light-particle can kick out an electron of a material if it has just the right energy. Through the smart combining of two types of sem…

In the last episode, Copenhagen Atomics CTO explained the details of their breeder molten salt reactor. However, so far we left out how they started the company, funded operations for the last 6 years and their unique approach to building reactors, while simultaneously dealing with the legal and practical issues of wanting to deal with fissile mate…

In a prior episode, I talked with Sean Kenny about so-called fourth-generation nuclear reactors. In particular, on their benefits and advantages compared to classical light-water reactors. However, we didn't talk about how companies build those new nuclear reactors. Oddly enough it is not that hard to build a light-water reactor and keep it stable.…

When most people think about particle accelerators like CERN, they don't necessarily think of useful innovation with societal impact. It's just theoretical tinkering without much real-world application after all. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Improvements in particle accelerators that were necessary to discover new physics lead …

With climate change as the biggest threat to humanity, we're struggling to avoid or even reverse further consequences. According to the intergovernmental panel on climate change, 25% of 2010 emitted greenhouse gases come from electricity and heat production via fossil fuels as the biggest contributor. While renewable energies provide an obvious alt…

So far agriculture has been undergoing two revolutions. The first was due to motorized vehicles at the beginning of the 20th century, boosting the number of people a farmer feeds to 26. The second revolution involved the genetic modification of crops, increasing the number of fed people to 156 per farmer. With the expected increase of the human pop…

Not many innovations have the power to shape the world on a massive scale like the internet. However, after the great financial crisis of 2007/08, one exactly such innovation came along. The blockchain. In 2008 a whitepaper named "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" was mailed out to a cryptographic mailing list and only shortly after t…
