Putting Malaysia in Space With New Technology

Here’s a Good Thing you need to know: a trio of young Malaysians have developed wireless charging technology for satellites in space, including on the moon. The trio - Muhammad Kamil, Razlan Dhamir Hamdan, and Justin Lee - had represented Malaysia with this technology in the world’s largest start-up competition, the Startup World Cup 2023, and made it all the way to the semi-finals. Razlan Dhamir Hamdan, who is also the co-founder of their company Aphelia, joins us to share more about this.
