Hosted by Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary, Episode 7 of From
First Principles covers four stories at the frontier of science and
technology. This week, we dive into new telescope data on the
interstellar visitor 3i Atlas, explore a major longevity study that
suggests life expectancy may have plateaued, unpack a breakthrough
nickel catalyst that could enable no-sort plastic recycling, and
look at Microsoft’s analog AI computer — a potential game-changer
for energy efficiency and medical applications. Summary •
Interstellar comet 3i Atlas imaged by Hubble, JWST, TESS, and ESA
orbiters • Longevity study shows human life expectancy may have
plateaued post-1939 births • Northwestern researchers develop a
nickel catalyst for no-sort plastic recycling • Microsoft unveils
an analog optical AI computer with 100x GPU efficiency Show Notes
