Deep Podcast

We were promised a tech revolution. So why aren’t they everywhere yet?

Harvard professor Gary Ruvkun, winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, joins Ben Kaplan to talk about the discovery of microRNAs, how it shattered scientific orthodoxy and sparked a biotech revolution.

Federico Capasso, Harvard professor, optics pioneer, and co-founder of Metalenz, joins Ben Kaplan to talk about how metasurfaces and nano-optics could transform everything from smartphones to AR glasses to medical imaging.

In this episode of DEEP, host Ben Kaplan sits down with Professor Christos Masouros to explore how 6G will go far beyond faster speeds—transforming wireless networks into intelligent sensing systems. Discover how 6G could power remote robotic surgeries, real-time holography, smart cities, and digital twins, while raising urgent questions about privacy, AI, and global regulation.

Tom discusses how Akamai evolved from pioneering the world's first Content Delivery Network (CDN)—revolutionizing the speed and reliability of internet content—to becoming a major player in cybersecurity and cloud computing.

AI is powering cutting-edge advancements in 3D modeling, human behavior analysis, and robotics.
