Technologically Speaking host Deepak Saini sits down with Program Manager Brent Talbot to talk about the science behind electromagnetic pulses, known as EMPs, and geomagnetic disturbances. He lifts the lid on the work S&T is doing to think through ways to protect against these energy waves that can knock out the electricity and render mobile devices inoperable. Hear how his background in signals intelligence and a love for solving puzzles led him down a path to S&T, where he works every day to anticipate the next big thing in technology to protect the homeland from emerging threats.
