Aloha internet — Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary return with
three extraordinary research stories: portable muon beams,
sodium-ion batteries, and the secret to long life. Summary •
Lawrence Berkeley’s compact muon beam technology and its
applications in archaeology, volcanology, and security. • UC San
Diego + U Chicago’s solid-state sodium battery that rivals lithium
in power but not in cost. • Tongji University’s naked mole rat DNA
study uncovering a genetic pathway for longer, healthier life. Show
