Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

Iwan (studying physics at Swansea University) and Izzy (studying physics at Durham University) take a look at the wonderfully complex world of science looking at everything from dinosaurs to quantum mechanics. This podcast comes as interviews with experts in their field and as an expansion to their radio show on CandoFM. If you’re interested in doing an interview we would be more than happy to hear from you, just email us at: sciencefrontiers.podcast@gmail.com

Brought to you by Penguin. In very recent times humanity has learnt a vast amount about the universe, the past, and itself. But through our remarkable successes in acquiring knowledge we have learned how much we have yet to learn: the science we have, for example, addresses just 5% of the...

This podcast show aims to demystify the mining, oil and gas value chain by bringing together engineers, executives, regulators, community leaders and innovators to discuss real-world projects, safety and ESG practices, emerging technologies, and market trends—helping industry professionals and stakeholders make better-informed operational and strategic decisions while fostering more transparent, sustainable resource development.

Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.

In The End of Life as We Know It, best-selling author Michael Guillen takes a penetrating look at how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality. The End of Life as We Know It takes us into laboratories and boardrooms where these troubling advances are taking place and asks the question no scientists seem to be asking: What does this mean for the future of humanity?

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.

Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the nature of strategic competition in space. Today's most pressing security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends those assumed standards of understanding.

In 1977 a group of scientists, artists and writers gathered in a house in Ithaca, New York to work on the most important mixtape ever conceived. It wasn’t from one person to another - it was from Earth to the cosmos. When NASA sent Voyagers 1 and 2 on a grand tour of the outer planets, they knew the ultimate fate of these plucky probes would be to drift forever in the unimaginable void of interstellar space.

If humans and their private wealth have made such a mess of Earth, who can say we won’t do the same in space? In The Consequential Frontier, business and technology journalist Peter Ward is raising this vital question before it’s too late. Interviewing tech CEOs, inventors, scientists, lobbyists, politicians, and future civilian astronauts, Ward sheds light on a whole industry beyond headline-grabbing rocket billionaires like Bezos and Musk and introduces the new generation of activists trying to keep it from rushing recklessly into the cosmos.

Il mito del pianeta rosso resiste nel nostro immaginario, nonostante innumerevoli missioni d'esplorazione abbiano svelato ormai molti dei suoi segreti. È "l'altro pianeta" dove, da anni, le agenzie spaziali di tutto il mondo vanno alla ricerca di vita extraterrestre; è anche l'unico luogo dove possiamo sperare di insediare una colonia umana. L'audiolibro racconta tutto quello che c'è da sapere su Marte, dalla sua conformazione alle ipotesi di abitabilità, fino alle ultime conquiste del Rover Curiosity, che vi è atterrato nel 2012.

Since astronauts first ventured into space in the early 1960s, the human race has been thinking about the bigger picture: Could we ever live in space? Where would we plant our new roots? Explore the ways engineers, researchers, and astrophysicists are pushing our scientific limits every day to get us closer to living on another planet.

In recent years, Psychedelics have begun to recapture the attention of the scientific community, largely related to their efficacy in the treatment of neurological disorders including PTSD, depression and addiction. Alongside this, with recent technological advances in neuroimaging, psychedelics may offer an all important tool to further our understanding of consciousness. With groundbreaking studies being released nearly every month, the psychedelic science scene is certainly one you want to keep up to date with! The Psychedelic Frontiers Podcast features interview-style episodes discussing ...

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.

Frederick Jackson Turner stands out as one of the most influential historians in the United States, renowned for his groundbreaking frontier thesis. This compelling theory posits that American democracy was significantly shaped by the presence of an undeveloped frontier from the nations founding until the 1880s. Turner introduced his ideas in the seminal essay The Significance of the Frontier in American History, published just three years after the frontier was officially closed in 1890. He continued to expand upon the frontier thesis, exploring themes such as sectionalism and the Midwests ...
