Showing results for "Frontières" in Physics

The Bio-Quantum Frontier is a deep-dive podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of theoretical physics, evolutionary biology, and the future of medicine. We move beyond the classical "fluid-mosaic" descriptions of life to investigate the precise, deterministic mechanisms that allow biological systems to operate at the edge of the quantum realm.From the 1836:1 mass-anisotropy filters that govern our thoughts to the terahertz resonance clocks that dictate metabolic health, this channel decodes the complex "hardware" of the cell. We feature rigorous discussions on the latest peer-reviewed...

Jim Rantschler and Randy Morrison discuss physics from elementary particles to cosmological effects at the limits of our theoretical knowledge or have recently emerged.

Come explore strange new worlds and galaxies far far away with the science that inspires (and is inspired by) the scifi series we love. Every week we will take a closer look at an episode or film property, analyze the world building and themes, and ask a scientific question posed in each episode.

Ernest Rutherford, who grew up in colonial New Zealand and came to Cambridge on a scholarship, made numerous revolutionary discoveries, among them the orbital structure of the atom and the concept of the “half-life” of radioactive materials, which led to a massive re-evaluation of the age of the Earth―previously judged just 100 million years old. Above all, perhaps, Rutherford and the young men working under him were the first to split the atom, unlocking tremendous forces―forces, as Rutherford himself predicted, that would bring us the atomic bomb.

Brought to you by Penguin. The incredible book behind the primetime Channel 4 documentary, Peter: The Human Cyborg. Peter, a brilliant scientist, is told that he will lose everything he loves. His husband. His family. His friends. His ability to travel the world. All will be gone. But Peter will...

Brought to you by Penguin. In the constellation of Eridanus there lurks a cosmic mystery. It's as if something has taken a huge bite out of the universe, leaving a super-void. What could be the culprit? A super massive black hole? Another, bigger universe? Or an expanding vacuum bubble, destined...
