Venus, geothermal, nuclear, and fusion

1:40:23relates to AI at large. >> Yeah. >> Um it this this is going to be and again you know we talk about breaking science research papers on this story. There is a delta between or a distance between it working in a lab and it being in your phone at home or in a data center in space. But it is a we're trying to continue to build this road map for people to understand where we're going as a society and what some of the best and brightest among us are trying to bring to us. And again we talked about this in the context of data centers in space but there are other things >> that you've mentioned you know that

1:41:05would be used this will be useful for in extreme computing planary exploration and other things. So >> space exploration I'd like to get better photos of Venus. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> That would be really nice. >> That'd be great. >> Um I'd like to have a rover on Venus that's like running around and stuff. That would be cool. um heavy energy like geothermal nuclear monitoring. I'd like to have safer nuclear >> y >> um power. >> If you're a green or clean energy person, I mean this can have real real impacts >> um in that space because it can help us better both understand and also execute in terms of production, maintenance, operational aspects.

1:41:46>> Yeah. Really anything that requires high temperature computing, right? I mean, with the advent of um fusion, right? If if we're trying to make fusion a thing, stuff is hot. >> Yep. >> And and so if we want um real time monitoring and decision-m using some AI algorithm about how to confine the plasma, I'm just thinking out loud, right? Like that's something >> that this would be used for. >> I don't need like to cool it down to room temp. I can just cool it down to 700°. >> Who needs a room temperature semiconductor? >> Yeah. >> Well, we still want that. >> We still want that. >> We still want that. Uh this was a really great electronics that can survive lava. Again, this was u a recent science paper

1:42:26March 2026, a collaboration led by researchers here in California, Forever Goodbye at USC, uh alongside the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio, and the Kumamoto University in Japan with funding from the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office, and the Air Force Research Lab.
