Welcome to Atoms & Bits.
Atoms & Bits is a place to learn more about the science, engineering, and technology that will define our future. Whether that’s artificial intelligence, quantum computing, bioengineering, or robotics, Atoms & Bits will deliver unique insights gathered from Playground Global’s community of founders, investors, operators, and researchers.
At Playground, we invest between improbable and impossible, which means technological know-how is our lifeblood. Taking an idea all the way from the lab to the market is a high wire act that requires a brew of commercial expertise and fluency with the actual technology since to know something is to de-risk it. Now we’re bringing those learnings to you — the wider deep tech community.
Here, readers will find long-form interviews with founders, investors, thinkers, and researchers who built technologies from scratch and know them inside and out. We will also publish industry deep dives on topics like hydrogen and fusion, while putting out our perspective on breaking news — from the newly discovered secrets of RNA to breakthrough battery chemistries.
The world as we know it is changing constantly. How we work, travel, communicate, even interact with nature and heal our bodies will look and feel radically different in the years ahead. In fact, the rules of modernity are being rewritten by technologists right now. Atoms & Bits will chronicle those fundamental shifts as they emerge and prepare readers for what’s to come.
Atoms & Bits will be home for the deep tech community. Together, we will peer forward in time to look at the shape, size, and character of the future.
