S4 | E5 – NAMI (Nano and Advanced Materials Institute)
On the podcast today, the winner of two silver Edison Awards: The Nano and Advanced Materials Institute, known as NAMI, in Hong Kong.NAMI has a long streak of innovation when it comes to advancements in nanotechnology. That continues this year with two more smart products: a new kind of bollard that keeps vehicles from hitting pedestrians and bandages that help prevent sports injuries.
Jenny Yiu, NAMI’s Chief Operating Officer, is here to share what’s happening at the nano level to create these big ideas.

2023 Edison Achievement Award Honoree – Sir Jony Ive
Every year, the Edison Awards honors one or more individuals who, through their careers, their leadership and their achievements, have distinguished themselves by making a significant and lasting contribution to the world of innovation. The Edison Achievement Award recognizes and celebrates their contribution to human-centered design, the value and differentiation they create, the positive influence they have on existing, new and emerging markets and the impact they have on the world.
S4 | E4 – CAP3Nano by Qnergy
Imagine a world where we can eliminate methane gas emissions that contribute to rising temperatures across the globe… We can do that using a generator that works 24/7. And it’s all based on a concept developed 200 years ago…the Stirling Engine.
Qnergy’s innovation, the PowerGen CAP3Nano system eliminates methane emissions from off-grid natural gas wellpads. The engine is designed to capture raw, unprocessed methane that would otherwise be vented or flared and convert it into useful electricity and heat. The engine is coupled with a compressed air system to create a solution that substitutes methane with air. The manufacturing results in a product that requires no scheduled maintenance for up to 8 years even in the harshest, most remote environments.
Qnergy CEO Ory Zik is with us today to talk about the impact.

S4 | E3 – NEBULAE® SRS by Northgate Technologies Inc
Put yourself into the operating room… Look up. Would you expect to see smoke? That’s right — smoke, created during laparoscopic surgery. It clouds the surgeon’s vision as they do their work through a camera and creates repeat exposure for everyone in the room, like nurses.
That’s why Northgate Technologies developed a smoke removal system for laparoscopic surgeries: the Nebulae SRS.
Northgate Vice President and General Manager David McDonough joins us to explain how the Nebulae SRS solves several issues: removing smoke and reducing CO2 gas usage – lessening surgical time for patients and improving a hospital’s carbon footprint.

S4 | E2 – The Lattice ORAN™ Solution Stack by Lattice Semiconductor
There’s a shift happening now as network providers push for more flexibility…it’s called ORAN, open radio access network. ORAN enables service providers to mix and match equipment from different vendors. But, there’s a growing security threat in this open environment. That’s why Lattice Semiconductor created a software tool called the Lattice ORAN Solution Stack.
This ready-to-use software protects communication between board components through encryption and authentication across channels; effectively “securing the wire” in the inherently open ORAN functionality.
Chief strategy and marketing officer for Lattice Semiconductor, Esam Elashmawi joins us on Inspiring Minds. He’s going to help us understand how this innovation creates not only improved security, but also the long-term impact of reliability and power efficiency throughout the telecommunications market.
