Welcome to the Kidest OM Podcast, hosted by Kidest OM.

In this edition of our "What Went Right" series, we explore the frontiers of material science and the incredible ways technology is helping us listen to the heartbeat of our planet. From the first-ever images of the Sun's poles to the rapid acceleration of life-saving drug discovery, we highlight the innovations that are securing a more sustainable and healthy future for all.

Why consume good news? Neuroscience research indicates that "prosocial priming"—the act of focusing on global progress and cooperation—significantly dampens the amygdala's threat response, allowing the prefrontal cortex to maintain high-level executive function and creative flow even in demanding environments.

Key Highlights from this Episode:

• ​Material Science: The discovery of "Intercrystals," a new class of materials that could revolutionize quantum computing and electronic efficiency through geometric control.
• ​University of Pennsylvania: Engineers develop nanostructured materials that passively harvest water from the air without external energy, a game-changer for dry regions.
• ​Space Exploration: The Solar Orbiter mission captures historic first-ever direct images of the Sun’s south pole, providing vital data for space weather forecasting.
• ​Victoria, Australia: A conservation win as the critically endangered helmeted honeyeater returns to the wild in Cardinia for the first time in 40 years.
• ​Ocean Health: A wave of coral restoration breakthroughs, including bio-inks that boost larvae settlement 20x and the breeding of heat-resilient "super corals."
• ​United Kingdom: Farmers across the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria restore 600 hectares of wildflower habitats, vital for global bee populations and food security.
• ​NASA & Smithsonian: A new satellite technique detects volcanic unrest by monitoring subtle "greening" changes in tree canopies caused by rising magma gases.
• ​Regenerative Health: The FDA approves Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) for vision loss, while new trials show major motor function improvements for Parkinson’s patients.
• ​AI in Medicine: Artificial Intelligence compresses the drug discovery phase from years to days, boasting an 80–90% success rate in early clinical trials.
• ​Global Progress: The World Economic Forum reports the global gender gap has narrowed to 68.8%, marking the fastest improvement in five years.
