Unstable Molecules – Pilot

from Unstable Molecules · host Unstable Molecules

Short pilot/promo for Unstable Molecules. We start with Stan Lee in 1960 contemplating giving up publishing comics. This is the moment when the Golden Age of Comics is radically transformed. Stan Lee talks about wanting to make comic books his way with three dimensional characters and stories that didn't treat readers like fools. It's also about how American culture and business of the time enabled Lee to become positioned so that he had the control to be able to make titles the Marvel way. Hopefully, this pilot gives an idea where the podcast will go and future episodes will look at issues of pre-Marvel Atlas comics, The Fantastic Four, Ant-Man and The Hulk. This is only a test post before I set the podcast up with a dedicated host and submit to iTunes and other directories. I also will add show notes, links and CC copyright checks.

What Could Go Right? The Progress Network with Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas It's easy to be pessimistic, especially with headlines dominated by global challenges like a changing geopolitical landscape, the rise in authoritarianism, and a seemingly unstable global economy. But what if, despite all that, humanity is actually making progress? Join Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell every Wednesday as he chats with leading experts like Ian Bremmer and Anne Marie Slaughter to challenge the negativity and find out whether we should be so pessimistic about everything from sustainability and polarization to the future of work. Plus, start your week right with Progress Network Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas, who delivers a weekly dose of essential good news every Monday. If environmental success stories and medical breakthroughs are your thing, you won’t want to miss it. Tune in to discover the evidence for progress and find your reason for cautious optimism. Quantum computing Hiper Chiserz Quantum computers are computers that consist of quantum bits, or “qubits,” that play a similar role to the bits in today's digital computers. The laws of quantum mechanics allow qubits to encode exponentially more information than bits. By manipulating information stored in these qubits, scientists can quickly produce high-quality solutions to difficult problems. This means quantum computing may revolutionize our ability to solve problems that are hard to address with even the largest supercomputers. Scientists have demonstrated these quantum speedups in several applications, including database searches. The race is now on to find others. Researchers expect quantum computers to be particularly good at calculating properties of physical systems that are inherently quantum mechanical. These applications include molecules used as chemical catalysts, which despite their large size are subject to quantum mechanics. They also include the quarks and gluons that clump together insid
