The demand for more power is rising significantly to keep up with electricity use of old and new electronic devices supplying our ever-growing, worldwide population.  Advanced super-capacitors, lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and more recently “fuel cells” are some of the latest technological developments to deliver energy from renewable sources much more efficiently than their fossil fuel predecessors.  Currently, they are being used for stationary power applications on the electric grid or in remote locations.  Especially, they are being utilized for various mobile devices and the burgeoning electric transportation sector for either terrestrial or extraterrestrial applications. 
During this presentation, we will dive deep into a discussion on the applicability of well-known theories from notable visionaries such as the late physicist, Stephen Hawking.  In addition, we will compare and contrast the plausibility of these theories to the conceptual cities in the realm of science fiction, prime examples being popularized by the late comic mogul, Stan Lee.  Here, you will engage in the key factors required to create a sustainable societal model for thriving “super cities” within local communities to as far reaching as inter-planetary colonies in the not so distant future.

​Dr. Tucker, obtained a Doctorate of Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Arizona State University.  He specializes in inorganic chemical synthesis and electrochemistry for applied purposes to provide renewable energy in the areas of stationary and mobile power sources for electronic devices.  Currently, Dr. Tucker is a Research Associate in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.  He also serves as a liaison with the Central Arizona Professional Chapter of the American Chemical Society and a board member with the Arizona Green Chamber of Commerce.  In 2018, he was inducted into the Phoenix class of 40 under 40.
