Fish Fry Special Edition: Have Your Cake and Eat The Batteries too!

by Amelia Dalton
November 26, 2025

In honor of the upcoming U.S. holiday, this week’s special episode of Fish Fry offers a little something for everyone. We kick things off by exploring how mushrooms can function as organic memory devices. Next up, I check out RoboCake, a multi-tiered dessert featuring various edible components and the world’s first rechargeable edible battery! Finally, the episode wraps up with a look at how NASA-developed fogponics technology can help you grow vegetables right in your own home.

November 21, 2025

This week’s podcast covers everything from the heights of the sky to the depths of the ocean. My guest is Paul Barnard from MathWorks, where we dive into one of my favorite subjects: Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Paul and I discuss the major software development hurdles for AAM vehicles, the advantages that a modular software approach offers these designs, and how engineers are working to synchronize simulation models with actual flight data. This week, I also look into SEACLEAR, an EU project that utilizes a team of autonomous robots to collect waste from the ocean floor.
