In this episode, we chat with Dr. Renee Goreham, a physicist and nanotechnologist at the University of Newcastle, and passionate science communicator. Renee is an experimental physicist exploring how our breath could hold the key to detecting lung cancer early—by identifying specific proteins as biomarkers. We also delve into her PhD student's exciting research into a new red-light laser diagnostic tool for breast cancer. Along the way, Renee breaks down the basics of cell biology and shares her

Vijoy Pandey joins Sebastian Hassinger for this episode of The New Quantum Era to discuss Cisco's ambitious vision for quantum networking—not as a far-future technology, but as infrastructure that solves real problems today. Leading Outshift by Cisco, their incubation group and Cisco Research, Vijoy explains how quantum networks are closer than quantum computers, why distributed quantum computing is the path to scale, and how entanglement-based protocols can tackle immediate classical

A con man’s zero-budget haunted house in Southern Africa wakes something real two days before Halloween. True story.Along Came Halloween by Sunfred THE horribleMidnight Scares – Halloween 2025 Special: Along Came HalloweenIn a sleepy Southern African suburb where Halloween is just a rumor from Hollywood screens, a broke con man, a bored security guard, and a big-boned baker decide to cash in on the spooky season. With stolen bedsheets, discarded dolls, and a vacant neighbor’s house that’s been

The Libet experiment didn't kill free will, says professor of neuroscience Aaron Schurger; the brain's "readiness potential" is simply stochastic neural noise. We then tackle consciousness's role in initiating action, the hard problem, and what it'd take for neuroscience to truly disprove our choices.

A Plastic Halloween Skeleton by Mak RalstonWe hung that cheap plastic skeleton in the oak tree every fall like we always did. It wasn’t special. Dollar store bones, fake glow-in-the-dark paint, plastic joints that clicked in the wind. The neighbors rolled their eyes. My mom said it was “tradition.” My dad used it to scare me in a way that somehow made me feel safer. And then he went to war and didn’t come home.After that, Halloween stopped being about candy. It became the one night I still felt like

1919'un bir gününde John B. Watson sokakta yürürken köpeklerden aşırı korkan bir çocuk gördü. Bu göründü anında aklına kazınmış, ilerleyen günlerde bazı sorulara dönüşmüştü. "Acaba yeni doğmuş bir bebek, evcil hayvanlardan korkar mı? Böyle bir korku doğuştan var olabilir mi? Yoksa bu korku sonradan mı öğrenilir?" İşte bu sorular bugün yapılsa gerçekleştirenin de, gerçekleşmesine izin verenin de yıllarca hapishanede yatmasına neden olacak bir dizi deneye zemin hazırlamıştı. Hiçbir Şey Tesadüf

I Am Halloween by Natron25Halloween is supposed to be pretend. Costumes, candy, fake monsters. Kids laugh in rubber masks, parents stand on porches talking about work and weather, and everyone goes to bed thinking it was all harmless. That’s what the town believes. That’s what they need to believe.But Halloween isn’t a game. Not here.Something old lives under this neighborhood. Something that remembers when October 23rd was the only night the walls between the living and the other side went thin. It

Happy Halloween 2025!

When Michelle takes a job at a pop-up Halloween store called Monster Mart, she expects long hours, fog machines, and impatient customers—not a stranger who seems to know her every detail. After a bizarre encounter with a pale woman fixated on her shoes, things spiral into the unexplainable. The next night, that same woman is found dead—dressed exactly like Michelle. As eerie coincidences pile up and her father’s secrets resurface, Michelle begins to wonder if the haunting didn’t start at the

Explore the Alpha Centauri system—our nearest stellar neighbors at 4.37 light-years—and discover why "nearby" in cosmic terms still means impossibly far away.🎧 Love the show? Help us improve in 2 minutes: https://tally.so/r/nr1evM We examine a triple-star system humanity has emotionally invested in as Plan B, despite knowing roughly as much about it as we do about Neptune's internal policies. Learn why Proxima Centauri's "habitable zone" planet receives radiation levels that would vaporize

In this episode, we speak with Associate Professor Leszek Lisowski, Head of the Translational Vectorology Unit at the Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI), about the cutting-edge world of gene therapy. He explains how viral vectors are engineered to deliver life-saving treatments for rare genetic diseases - many of which are so uncommon, they’re only known by the name of the affected gene. Despite being often overlooked, genetic diseases impact 10% of adults and 30% of children in hospitals

No tienen carga, casi no tienen masa y, sin embargo, reinan entre las partículas como miembros de una aristocracia invisible. Cada segundo, billones de neutrinos atraviesan la Tierra —y tu propio cuerpo— sin dejar rastro. En este episodio hablamos de por qué estos fantasmas del cosmos son tan especiales: nacen en el Sol, en supernovas y en los fenómenos más extremos del Universo. Descubrimos cómo su carácter esquivo obliga a construir catedrales de ciencia bajo el hielo de la Antártida o en enormes

Every Halloween, residents of Brookhaven hear three knocks at their doors — long after the trick-or-treaters are gone. They smell gun smoke and copper but never see anyone outside. The legend says it all started with three teens who went too far one Halloween night — and who still come back, year after year, to finish their game.Thank you for enjoying my podcast!
