The Hard Drive - science geeks in Zurich
After the mysterious disappearance of one of the two expected guests, we are left with Joakim Reuteler, who, already as a high school kid, developed his first fuel cell (read: the battery of the future) while his friends were only thinking about football and sex. Now a doctoral student in material science at ETH, Joakim's specialty is to take a very little piece of ceramic, put it in a microscope, take a picture of its microstructure (listen to the show if you want to know what microstructure is!) and do a lot of fancy processing on it, to see if he can predict how well the ceramic is going to conduct electricity.
