Ep 11: Nanotech, the coffee filter, and how computers search - a podcast by Ada Lovelace Day

This month, nanochemist Dr Suze Kundu explains how she’s using nanostructures to extract energy from sunlight. And Dr Sue Black OBE, the founder and CEO of #techmums, talks about the work of computer scientist, Karen Spärck Jones, whose work still underpins many search algorithms.

Our invention this month is at once both mundane and essential — it’s the coffee filter! And we’ve got a signed copy of Dr Helen Czerski’s Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life, to give away. Listen, or visit our episode blog post to find out how you can win!

The Ada Lovelace Day podcast highlights the work of women in STEM. We talk to women from around the STEM world about their careers, as well as talking to women and men about historic and modern women’s achievements, discoveries, and inventions.
