Lucas and Luna sit down at a lab bench cluttered with oscilloscopes and prototype boards to talk about the engineering decisions that shape the chips powering modern life. Each episode takes one piece of hardware — a new RISC-V core, a GaN power amplifier, a MEMS accelerometer — and examines its design trade-offs, yield challenges, and market positioning. They discuss why Intel’s 20A node matters for foundry customers, how TSMC’s CoWoS packaging affects AI accelerator supply, and what the CHIPS Act subsidies mean for domestic fab construction. Lucas brings the component-level knowledge (threshold voltages, die sizes, lithography steps); Luna pushes on the system-level implications (thermal constraints, software compatibility, supply chain risk). The listener is someone who reads datasheets for fun, follows EDA tool announcements, or needs to decide between an FPGA and an ASIC for their next product. No hot takes on Apple’s latest chip — just a careful look at what the die shot reveals

How Thermal Interface Materials Are Redefining Chip Cooling
Sep 29, 202610 minS5
We dive into the critical, often invisible world of thermal interface materials that sit between your processor and its heatsink. With data centers consuming massive amounts of power and chips pushing terawatts of compute density, traditional thermal paste is hitting physical limits. We explore how liquid metal compounds and phase-change polymers are solving the bottleneck in modern electronics engineering. This episode breaks down the specific chemistry behind better heat transfer, why your laptop might be throttling performance, and what this means for the future of consumer devices and enterprise hardware efficiency. #ThermalManagement #HeatSinkDesign #LiquidMetalCooling #ChipThermalPaste #DataCenterEfficiency #SemiconductorPhysics #HardwareEngineering #ElectronicsDesign #ThermalConductivity #CPUCooling #GPUOverheating #MaterialScience #TechInfrastructure #ComputingPower #DevicePerformance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Thermal interface materials are the unsung heroes of modern electronics, bridging the gap between microscopic chips and cooling systems. This episode explores how thermal paste evolved from a simple grease to a complex polymer science, focusing on the breakthroughs in liquid metal and phase-change materials that prevent overheating in smartphones and servers. We examine the specific chemistry behind conductivity versus viscosity, why application technique matters more than product price, and how engineers at companies like NVIDIA and Intel are pushing the limits of heat dissipation without adding bulk. Discover the hidden physics keeping your devices from melting down. #ThermalPaste #ThermalInterfaceMaterials #HeatDissipation #ElectronicsEngineering #LiquidMetal #PhaseChangeMaterials #ChipCooling #SemiconductorTech #HardwareDesign #NVIDIA #Intel #Microelectronics #Conductivity #Viscosity #PCBuilding #SmartphoneThermals #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
As Moore’s Law slows, the semiconductor industry is pivoting to chiplets — small, specialized dies packaged together on a single substrate. This episode explores how advanced packaging and interconnect standards like UCIe are changing the economics of chip design. We look at why companies like NVIDIA and AMD are leading this shift, how it reduces manufacturing risk, and what it means for the future of high-performance computing. With yield rates becoming critical in modern process nodes, breaking large monolithic chips into smaller pieces offers a pragmatic path forward. Join us as we dissect the engineering and business logic behind this structural change in electronics. #ChipletDesign #AdvancedPackaging #SemiconductorIndustry #UCIeStandard #NVIDIA #AMD #MooreSLaw #ElectronicsEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechEconomics #HardwareInnovation #SiliconValley #ManufacturingYield #IntegratedCircuits #ComputingPower #SupplyChainTech #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Silicon Carbide Is Powering The Next Electric Revolution
Sep 25, 20269 minS4
Silicon carbide is the quiet material behind the electric vehicle boom, yet most consumers have never heard of it. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why silicon carbide semiconductors are replacing traditional silicon in high-voltage applications like inverters and chargers. We look at how companies like Wolfspeed and ON Semiconductor are scaling production to meet the surge in demand for faster charging and longer range. The conversation covers the manufacturing challenges, the energy efficiency gains of up to ten percent, and what this means for the future of grid infrastructure and consumer electronics as we move through late 2026. #SiliconCarbide #Semiconductors #ElectricVehicles #PowerElectronics #Wolfspeed #OnSemiconductor #HardwareEngineering #CleanTech #EVCharging #MaterialScience #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyTrends #Manufacturing #EnergyEfficiency #SupplyChain #GreenTech #Infrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We drill into the economics of rare earth element recovery from discarded electronics. With global e-waste hitting ninety million metric tons, Lucas and Luna explore why recycling rates for gold, cobalt, and lithium remain stubbornly low despite the price spikes. We look at the specific mechanical and chemical bottlenecks that make urban mining harder than digging in the ground, and what new hydrometallurgical processes might finally tip the scales by twenty thirty. #EwasteRecycling #RareEarthElements #UrbanMining #CircularEconomy #CriticalMinerals #SupplyChainResilience #GreenTechnology #Hydrometallurgy #BatteryRecycling #SemiconductorScarcity #LithiumRecovery #CobaltSupply #SustainableEngineering #MaterialScience #WasteManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HardwarePodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Recent guests on The Hardware Podcast with Fexingo: Chips, Devices, and Electronics Engineering Conversations. Study who booked and why before you pitch.
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
