(0:46) - Neuralink

Neuralink wants to plant chips in people using a robotic and reversible operation with the goal of eliminating neural related illnesses. 

(9:25) - Airspeeder: The Flying Car

Alauda is developing an electric flying race vehicle to display technical achievements and the viability of this form of transportation. 

(15:20)  - Carbon Footprint & Computer Chips

A joint effort between Harvard, Arizona State University, and Facebook revealed that manufacturing computer chips makes up a large portion of the total carbon footprint of electronic devices. With this in mind, the researchers hope to convince big technology companies to take this factor into account when designing devices that don’t even utilize the full performance that these chips offer.
