Do we really need another computer? One that's faster,

more powerful. Not everyone does. But to reinvent music using a neural processor, work off the grid

Welcome to the science podcast for March 12, 2021. I'm Sarah Crespi.

Each week we feature the most interesting news and research published in science in the sister journals.

First up, news staff writer Adrian Cho joins us to talk about big plans for the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, including one with 40-kilometer long arms.

Then I talk with researcher Pavani Tirikupali about her science advances paper on cleaning up oil spills with special cold-adapted sponges that work well when crude oil gets clumpy.
