Shrinking Particle Accelerators and X-Ray Lasers | Jerome Paye, TAU Systems (Startup Series #2)

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Blond & Quantum , host Eva Galant sits down with Jerome Paye , Co-Founder and CEO of TAU Systems a Texas-based deep-tech startup building compact particle accelerators and soft X-ray lasers ⚡🔬. TAU's technology miniaturizes what normally requires kilometer-long government facilities with applications ranging from space radiation testing ☢️ to next-generation semiconductor lithography 💡🔩 Topics discussed: 📍What TAU Systems actually builds (explained without a physics degree) 📍Why Moore's Law needs new light sources to continue 📍How space radiation testing works — and why demand is exploding 📍The difference between conventional accelerators and laser-plasma acceleration 📍TAU's business model: service first, then sell the machines 📍The long-term vision: affordable particle accelerators for universities and 📍discovery Expect honesty, insight, and a touch of humor (and maybe a brief cameo from Eva’s very real, very curious Schrödinger’s cat 🐈‍⬛). 🎧Guest: Jerome Paye | Co-Founder & CEO, TAU Systems 🎙️Host: Eva | Blond & Quantum #Blond&Quantum #deeptech #spacetechnology #semiconductor #particleaccelerator Support the show
