Would you like to print a new ear? How about a new heart?
In this episode of The Quantum Kid, 9-year-old Kai goes somewhere very few kids ever get to go: a real bioprinting lab at ETH Zurich.
With the help of a researcher, Kai 3D-prints a mini human ear 🦻 made from living cells — and learns how scientists use printed tissue to study the body and test new medicines.
Back in the studio, Kai has a fascinating discussion about another big “wow” in science: the use of quantum computing for drug discovery. He chats with two quantum experts:
Pedram Roushan — Quantum Physicist at Google Quantum AISabrina Maniscalco — Professor of Quantum Information Science and Co-Founder and CEO of Algorithmiq
They explain how quantum computers are different from regular computers, and why they could help scientists discover new drugs by understanding molecules in much more detail.
To help Kai and the viewers understand quantum, we use analogies like LEGO bricks with mini brains 🧱🧠 — tiny building blocks that can explore lots of possibilities at once, which is exactly what chemistry and biology need.
Real labs. Real scientists. Big ideas — explained so viewers and listeners of any age can follow along.
🧪 Welcome to The Quantum Kid! Check out the rest of the episodes, where we talk about quantum and space, quantum and robots, quantum and time travel - and so much more! Like, subscribe and leave comments for Kai!!!
