Episode Details

The world will need more copper than ever by 2050—enough to exceed all mined in human history—driven by AI, electrification, and booming data centers. But a startup called Arcturus is changing the game: using lasers to embed carbon nanomaterials into copper and aluminum, slashing energy loss as heat. With an $8M seed round, they’re scaling from centimeters to tens of meters, aiming to plug this tech directly into existing grids, motors, and EVs—without redesigning systems. The result? Lighter drones, more efficient EVs, and cooler data centers—all by cutting wasted energy.
