In this episode, we dive into the weird world of nanomaterials and their game-changing role in sustainable technology and space exploration.

My guest is Connor Boland, a researcher a Dublin City University. He breaks down how everyday substances like gypsum or pencil lead are transformed into high-tech nanostructures with applications for electronics, engineering, or space travel. He also explains how this can be down with minimal environmental impact. In some cases only requiring a kitchen blender. It's all part of his philosophy for doing cutting-edge science that’s not just innovative but does no harm for the planet.

From eco-friendly advancements to responsible research, we explore why sustainability should be at the core of scientific breakthroughs. Get ready to rethink what’s possible and discover how these futuristic materials could shape the world and space in ways you never imagined.
