Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies

Boys to transform our lives for better or worse are the focus of this podcast. Almost here means these

technologies are now here and starting to be used or just around the corner for

Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Future Tech Podcast. My guest is Alex Tepchenko.

He's a research scientist at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine,

which is part of the University of California, San Diego, and in Loya, California.

So Alex, how you doing?

Good. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, I wanted to talk about some recent work you've been doing, where you're using

grapheine to help people's hearts and possibly also gold.

So I wanted to hear a little bit about what you're up to.

Yeah, so Grapin is the wonder material recently rediscovered and finding a lot of applications in all kinds of industries.

So hopefully pretty soon we are going to have much better cell phones where instead of battery we would have graphing-based capacitor chargers

so you can actually charge your phones really quickly like just plug it in and it's ready to go.

Well the interesting feature of graphing just plug it in and it's ready to go.

Well, the interesting feature of graphing, hopefully.

The interesting feature of graphing is it's very compatible with biology.

And this is a very essential thing.

Graphing essentially is a 2D crystal,

two dimensional crystal of carbon atoms.
