In today’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Tamil Selvan Muthusamy, an interventional cardiologist trained in the UK and Europe, now practicing in Kuala Lumpur, to explore what may be the most important advance in cardiology in the last two decades: a new “bioadaptive” stent that actually moves and remodels with your arteries. We dive into why traditional rigid stents fail over time, how this new design dramatically cuts repeat heart events, and what it means for the millions of people wor...

Nature is the engineer: Biomimicry and the future of material science
Today, we’re joined by Dr. Shu Yang, a pioneering materials scientist at the University of Pennsylvania and one of National Geographic’s Extraordinary Changemakers. From elephant skin to snail mucus, Dr. Yang draws inspiration from nature to create shape-shifting, sustainable materials that could transform everything from medicine to construction. Stay tuned as we explore the science behind smart surfaces, kirigami geometry, carbon-sequestering concrete, and the curiosity that drives th...
