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.

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.

Obra-prima em termos de pensamento original e pesquisa, A era do capitalismo de vigilância, de Shoshana Zuboff, apresenta ideias alarmantes sobre o fenômeno que ela nomeou capitalismo de vigilância. Os riscos não poderiam ser maiores: uma arquitetura global de modificação comportamental ameaça impactar a humanidade no século XXI de forma tão radical quanto o capitalismo industrial desfigurou o mundo natural no século XX.

In the 1870s, surgery was a crude affair performed on the patient's kitchen table. In the frontier town of Rochester, Minnesota, Dr. W. W. Mayo brought his young sons, Will and Charlie, to assist him with operations. Fifty years later, Rochester became a medical mecca as the Mayo brothers were established as world-class surgeons. With a firm belief in sharing information and learning from others, the Mayo brothers proved the benefits of cooperation in a jealously competitive field and accomplished more than any single colleague of their time.

A podcast series examining innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and media. Season 1 explores AI as a 'reader' of content, and how this fundamental shift is changing the way we access, interpret, and share information. Hosted by Jessica Miles, each episode looks at the philosophical considerations and practical consequences of this disruption, focusing on scientific and scholarly content.

We know very little, and yet it is astonishing that we know so much, and still more astonishing that so little knowledge can give us so much power, said philosopher. In this podcast, we talk to scientists and scholars, explorers and discoverers who push back the frontiers of knowledge. Occasionally, you’ll hear also from experts in science communication who share their secrets of how to make the important interesting. And don’t be surprised sometimes to get a useful tip on how to obtain our coveted grants. The European Research Council, set up by the European Union in 2007, is the ...

Ogni frontiera è una sfida, un limite, ma anche un’opportunità. Un punto di frattura, un luogo di scambio, un’occasione di cambiamento. Ci sono frontiere fisiche e frontiere culturali; frontiere invalicabili e altre permeabili; ci sono frontiere sentimentali e frontiere scientifiche. Di queste ultime racconteremo qui, avendo però ben presente tutte le altre.Benvenuti a Voci di Frontiere - Viaggio nel mondo della ricerca, il podcast del Politecnico di Milano
