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 AI and Sabrina Maniscalco — Professor of Quantum Information Science and Co-Founder and CEO of Algorithmiq.
