Verge of Discovery

Verge of Discovery is a podcast created for everyone who loves to learn and wants to know more about the most recent developments in the field of science and technology. We interview today's brightest scholars, intellectuals and visionaries in the field of science and technology and bring their knowledge, passion and wisdom to you. Our goal is bring the latest scientific developments to you directly from the minds of people who are propelling us into the future. We want to learn from them and be inspired by them. Just imagine Christopher Columbus telling you personally what it was like to explore the Americas or the Wright brothers describing to you what it was like to fly for the first time. What would that feel like? This is what the Verge of Discovery is about, that moment of personal discovery from the hearts and minds of today's brightest stars.

034: Part 2 - The Quantum Violation of the Pigenhole Principle and its Implications with Dr. Tollaksen 0
Feb 29, 2016

Dr. Jeff Tollaksen joins us to discuss his groups’ latest discovery of the quantum violation of the pigeonhole principle.  Dr. Tollaksen expands on how the field of physics has transformed from classical physics to quantum physics over the years.  He explains how the culture has shifted from a deterministic view to a more capricious view with the acceptance of the quantum theory.  We then discuss the quantum violation of the pigenhole principle and it's implications in more detail.

033: Part 1 - Why God Plays Dice and the Quantum Pigenhole Effect with Dr. Tollaksen 0
Feb 22, 2016

Dr. Tollaksen details the discovery of the quantum pigenhole principle and describes the physics leading up to this discovery.  Part one of a two part series.

032: LiFi is the future of WiFi with Dr. Haas 0
Feb 15, 2016

Professor Haas received the PhD degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2001. He currently holds the Chair of Mobile Communications at the University of Edinburgh, and is co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of pureLiFi Ltd as well as the Director of the LiFi Research and Development Center at the University of Edinburgh. He first introduced and coined LiFi. LiFi was listed among the 50 best inventions in TIME Magazine 2011.

031: Rockets and the Challenges of Space Travel with Dr. Vanstone 0
Feb 8, 2016

Dr. Leon Vanstone is an aerodynamic engineer and a real life rocket scientist.  Travelling really fast through the atmosphere generates a lot of heat due to friction from the air. Leon’s work looks at how to stop things that do this from melting. It’s pretty hard to travel fast enough to melt something unless you drop the object from space and so this problem usually only applies to rockets and re-entry vehicles.  Leon discusses some of these challenges and tells us a bit more about orbital travel.

030: Big Data, Cloud Computing and Machine Learning with Dr. Ryoo 0
Feb 1, 2016

Dr. Jungwoo Ryoo is the interim head of the division of business, engineering, and information sciences and technology (BEIST) and an associate professor of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at the Pennsylvania State University-Altoona.  He discusses his field of expertise in big data, cloud computing and machine learning.  Dr. Ryoo dives deeper into the state of big data field and how we need more and more qualified interdisciplinary experts in the field to advance this industry into the future.
