306: Is This Finally a Real Solid State Battery? With Jorge Diaz Scheider
306: Is This Finally a Real Solid State Battery? With Jorge Diaz Scheider episode artwork
#306
Last Wednesday at 1:17 PM

Matt sat down with Jorge Diaz Schneider, CEO of Ion Storage Systems, to talk about their anode-less, ceramic-based solid-state battery that doesn't swell or need pressure to work. We get into why they're chasing consumer electronics instead of EVs, the new continuous manufacturing line they just fired up, and why so many solid-state startups have over-promised and flamed out. It's an honest look at where this technology really stands in 2026 … and where it's headed.

The Polyfloss team is back with a game-changer: a mini plastic recycling machine small enough for your workshop. Matt reconnects with co-founders Audrey Gaulard, Émile De Visscher, and Christophe Machet to discuss how they're putting plastic recycling directly into people's hands - and why that matters.

Today is a very brainy conversation. Matt had the chance to chat with Dr. Kyle Wedgwood and research intern Wiktor Wiejak from University of Exeter in England. Wedgwood’s a mathematician specializing in neuroscience, and he’s using a computer from FinalSpark. Matt just put out a full video on what’s special about these computers, but in short, they’re alive. They’re made up of bundles of neurons, also known as organoids, and Dr. Wedgwood is using them to explore what he calls “the fundamentals” of how neurons work.
