3: Jonathan Goldman - They want it green instead of blue

This episode's guest is Jonathan Goldman, an Atlanta-based technologist who wears many hats. He is currently an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) and a Principal at the Georgia Tech VentureLab. He joined me to discuss rising interest in perovskite materials for solar cells and the 800 lb gorilla still in the room (hint: it's silicon). We also touched on the challenge of translating scientific discovery into commercial products. (Recorded on February 8, 2016)

2: Bara Cola - Anyone can be an expert

Today's guest is Bara Cola, an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. Once a walk-on college football player, Bara currently runs the NEST lab and is a world expert on the use of carbon nanotubes (and related materials) in thermal technologies. He joined me to talk about the history of carbon nanotubes, their uses, and the special place they hold in our hearts. (Recorded on January 15, 2016)

1: Charlie Bennett - Thank you for your email, I will never answer it

Today's guest is Charlie Bennett, an undergraduate programming and engagement librarian at Georgia Tech. He’s also a friend and podcasting guru. You can hear him on his podcasts Lost in the Stacks, Consilience with Pete and Charlie, and several more. He courageously joined me for the first episode of Nanovation to both keep me honest and ask "what in the world is this podcast about?" (Recorded on January 6, 2016)
