When planes fly faster than the speed of sound, air molecules can’t get out of the way fast enough and begin to pack together. Eventually they form a wave in front of the aircraft, creating a burst of air pressure. And you get a big bang - the sound of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier - a sonic boom. This sonic boom can damage structures and break glass. Because of this, supersonic overland flight has been banned in the United States since the 1970s. That was always a problem for aircraft like

A team of researchers say they’ve found fossils that add two new ancestors to our human family tree. While these two creatures appeared to have lived at the same time - and in the same place - they are two distinct, different hominins. The team says one set of fossils appears to be a fit for the genus Homo. That’s the same genus as modern humans. The other seems to fit Australopithecus, the same genus as the famous Lucy fossil. Fossil teeth and bones from both creatures were found at Ledi-Geraru in

It’s Mothers Day… and while they may not admit it, research shows that Mums DO have favourite children – usually, not intentionally. Mothers also identify the children they have the most conflict with and with whom they are the most disappointed. However, it turns out that adult children are very bad at determining who the favorite child is, and are correct less than half the time. In this episode of Weekend one on one, we hear from Professor Jill Suitor, who’s been carrying out the research – she’s
