2020/02/19

He builds machines that are thousand times smaller than a width of a hair. And with them he might cause revolution in medicine and in other fields. Professor Ben Feringa, laureate of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He managed to construct nanocars that can drive and could in the future for example deliver drugs inside the body. The system could also help in the fight against antibiotics resistance. How exactly? And how do you build a car out of individual

As the head of the Atlas detector, she was there when the Higgs boson was detected. As the head of CERN, she decides about the organization's future development. Fabiola Gianotti, director-general of the largest scientific center on Earth. She can combine music, mathematics and particle physics as well as coordinate physicist from all over the world including the Czech Republic. What have they already achieved at CERN? How does particle physics research help our everyday life? And what will

Seven rocky planet, three of them in the habitable zone and all of them close to Earth. At least from the cosmic point of view. That is the Trappist-one system. It was discovered partially thanks to the scientists from the European Southern Observatory and it's far from their only success. They have also found our nearest exoplanet, observed stars orbiting the massive black hole in the center of our galaxy and watched the development of sunspots. What does ESO expect from European Extremely

Go after your curiosity. You need to have more curiosity. Even more curiosity. But it’s not enough to be curious. You have to have passion. Says Professor Ada E. Yonath. She comes from a poor family, but eventually made her way to the highest levels of science. She studies ribosomes – factories inside cells that translate our genetic information and produce proteins. Without them, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. Few people believed her when she was starting her research – most colleagues

2020/02/19

The first person who climbed all 14 eight-thousanders. The first person who climbed Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, the first person who climbed Mount Everest alone. A man who often went where no one went before. A man who says "summit is secondary, trying is the most important thing". Reinhold Messner. Mountaineer, traveller, adventurer. He crossed Gobi desert, North and South Pole and Greenland. www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1044129…er-adventurer/

Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (Nobel prize in Physics laureate)

2020/02/19

It is important to have crazy ideas because crazy ideas are sometimes good ideas. And a good researcher is student forever. Says Claude-Cohen Tannoudji who recieved the 1997 Nobel prize in physics for the development of method to cool and trap atoms with laser. These methods allow us for example to measure time much more accurately. He was born in Algeria where he witnessed the landing of American troops during WWII. Later he also served in the army himself. The key person in his career

Eric Betzig (Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate)

2020/02/19

He says he had two mid-life crisis. The first one when he got an idea and the second one when he implemented it. Today he is Nobel Prize laureate - professor Eric Betzig came up with a method that makes is possible to watch throught optical microscopes things that are only few nanometers big. One nanometer equals one bilionth of a meter. Scientist can now for example see proteins responsible for development of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson‘s disease. He was also able to surpass his own

2020/02/19

You should look around and pay attention to something odd, says Daniel Schetman, professor at Technion, Israeli institute of technology. And he did find something odd. He found quasicrystals and that's why he received the Nobel prize in chemistry in 2011. However, he had to fight for recognition for years, many scientists rejected his discovery. What made him absolutely sure that he was right and they were wrong? How can quasicrystals be used in everyday life and what was the role of

Harald Zur Hausen (virologist)

2020/02/19

Around a quarter of million women around the world die every year of cervical cancer. Protection is vaccination. Prior to the development of vaccine it was necessary to find out what the cause of the disease is. And that is what professor Harald zur Hausen did. He discovered papilomaviruses that cause cervical cancer. Thats why he recieved 2008 Nobel prize in medicine. it was he who pushed for a development of the vaccine, although at first pharmaceutical companies were not sure whether its

2020/02/19

In a special broadcast of Hyde Park Civilisation we visit Institute of plasma physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The reason is simple - our guest is head of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. ITER should bring a revolution into harnessing of power - clean, safe and virtually inexhaustible source of energy. Instead of splitting nuclei as in nuclear power plant tokamak fuses them together. How does it work exactly? Why does it need a temperature of 150 million degrees

Dr. Douglas Vakoch, President of METI International – an organization that keeps pushing the SETI project. Literally further into space. He and his team are searching for extraterrestrial civilizations and are working on a message that they want to send to space. How should it be written? What should it contain? Should we worry about a potential encounter? And what if extraterrestrial intelligence already knows about us. www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1044129…international/

„Ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves. We did it.“ Said David Reitze, LIGO Laboratory Executive Director. And Einstein´s theory of relativity was proven. Moreover, scientists have opened a new window into space. They are comparing it to the moment when Galileo Galilei turned his telescope towards the stars and saw them in a different way than before. What could we learn? And what is it to be good for? The answers will be provided by Professor Benno Willke who led the
