Kernfusion erlebt gerade eine politische Renaissance. Sie soll künftig günstige, sichere und planbare Energie liefern – und wird teilweise sogar als Alternative zu Windkraft, Photovoltaik und Batteriespeichern ins Spiel gebracht. Aber wie nah sind wir tatsächlich an einem funktionierenden Fusionskraftwerk?

A man drives home on a cold November night in 1966, and the road in front of him stops feeling like the world he knows. Along Interstate 77 near Parkersburg, West Virginia, Woodrow Derenberger reports a craft close enough to halt traffic and a stranger with a fixed smile who “speaks” without moving his mouth. Minutes later it’s gone, but the details stick, especially that smile. Ten days after, downriver near Point Pleasant and the abandoned TNT area, another report lands in the dark: someth...

En kold septembermorgen på Skotlands højeste bjergtop ser en ung fysiker sig selv som en kæmpe i skyerne, omgivet af en regnbuefarvet glorie. Synet tænder en gnist, som fører til et af de fysikhistoriens vigtigste instrumenter. For Wilson sætter sig for at skabe kunstige skyer i laboratoriet - men ender helt uventet med en afslørende tåge, der pludselig gør det usynlige synligt.Videnskabens vindere er en RAKKERPAK original i samarbejde med Science Report. Podcasten bliver til med støtte fra

In this episode of The Opioid Matrix, Michael Brown speaks with Adam Castillo, a former U.S. Marine officer, founder of AGS Myanmar, and former president of the American business community in Myanmar. Adam is also the author of Finding Our Voice: A Story of Leadership in Crisis and the American Spirit Abroad, a leadership memoir shaped by his experience guiding an American business community through Myanmar’s post-coup collapse.Drawing on his firsthand experience in Myanmar during a period of civil

What does it actually take to win commercially in the age of AI — and how is it different from what chemical companies have done before?In this episode of DigiChem Dialogues, host Jay Bhatia sits down with Dan Futter, Chief Commercial Officer at Dow, and Chris Musso, Senior Partner and Global Chemicals Lead at McKinsey, for an unscripted conversation on one of the most urgent questions facing the chemical industry right now.Dan and Chris pull no punches. From AI-mediated customer discovery and the

Salt may be one of the most familiar substances in everyday life, but in this episode of SUBSTANCE, host Joe Hanson explores how a special class of salts could help decarbonize one of the most overlooked parts of the energy system: heat. With the help of experts Dr. Nils-Olof Born of BASF and Assistant Professor Silvia Trevisan of KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Joe Hanson looks at how so-called molten salts can store and deliver heat for industrial processes without relying on

China transportiert Strom über mehr als 3.000 Kilometer, mit über einer Million Volt und der Leistung mehrerer Großkraftwerke. Deutschland baut dagegen an Projekten wie SüdLink, SüdOstLink und Ultranet. Weniger gigantisch – aber technisch keineswegs rückständig.

Danske Johannes Fibiger fik Nobelprisen i medicin for at bevise, at en rundorm kan fremkalde kræft. Det kunne den ikke.Men lægen, der ligger begravet under en hængepil på Garnisonskirkegården på Østerbro i København, roterer alligevel ikke i sin grav. For Nobelpriser kan ikke trækkes tilbage, og historien om hvorfor er langt mere interessant end selve fejltagelsen.I dette afsnit af Videnskabens Vindere besøger vi en af dansk videnskabs mest fascinerende skikkelser: manden der opfandt lodtrækningen i

Dr. Dave Berkowitz was born in 1960 in Urbana, Illinois. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Chicago, where he did undergraduate research. Next, he earned his doctorate from Harvard University. However, his advisor, Steve Benner, moved from Harvard to ETH Zurich, also called the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Dave accompanied him to Zurich where he completed his dissertation work. When Dave returned to the US, he did a postdoc with the legendary Samuel

A phase 3 clinical trial is underway to determine the effectiveness of an mRNA vaccine for H5N1, a strain of influenza that is currently of concern. The virus, which is commonly found in birds across the world and is rarely transmitted to humans. However, when it is transmitted, the disease is often fatal, and scientists fear that if the virus were to mutate, it could lead to rapid, widespread infection. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world are keen to be better prepared for

Chemical product labelling plays a key role in ensuring safety and regulatory compliance across the entire industrial value chain. In this episode, we explore the European regulatory framework, focusing on how CLP, REACH and BPR interact, and how together they balance health protection, environmental safety and market access.We take a closer look at different product categories, highlighting their distinctions, areas of application and regulatory implications. We also examine the main technical

Dagens afsnit handler om grundstoffet fosfor/phosphor. Man støder på det hele tiden, og så alligevel ikke. Det findes nemlig ikke rent i naturen, men i kemiske forbindelser i gode ting som pis og sten (They're minerals!). Vi kommer ind på hvad fosfor bruges til, og hvad liv bruger det til… og vi kommer ind på hvad man måske skal bruge det mindre til: krigsforbrydelser og døde have. Så hold på skeletter og guano inden Briterne kommer og tager det, og lyt med til afsnittet om det periodiske sys...

Fra en 13-årig dreng i Hamburg med en brækket arm i slynge, til en mørk korridor i Chicago, hvor en gruppe videnskabsfolk forsøger at advare den amerikanske præsident mod at bruge atombomben mod civile byer. Hør historien om James Franck - en dagdrømmer med et hjerte af guld og en nobelpris på CV’et, som helst bare vil forske i atomernes inderste mekanismer - men som skæbnen hvirvler uløseligt sammen med hele to verdenskrige.Afsnittet er skrevet og tilrettelagt af Maya ZachariassenFortalt af Lauge

If your days in the dental office feel slower, harder, and more chaotic than they should, your equipment (not your technique) might be the problem. In this episode of Bonding and Beer, we break down the 6 essential tools (3 must-haves and 3 game-changers) that will immediately improve your workflow, reduce strain, and elevate your clinical outcomes. From curing lights and loupes to scanners, and 3D printers, join Dr. Rolando Nunez as he breaks down the essential equipment that will transform ...

Join host Felix Mercer as he explores why testing formulations matters more than creating them. Using chemistry lab principles, Felix examines how precision differs from accuracy, why accountability loops prevent strategic failure, and how frameworks like FranklinCovey's Four Disciplines turn elegant plans into measurable results through disciplined execution.Loved this episode?

Felix Mercer dissects why most corporate strategies are wishes disguised as plans, using chemistry's precision to reveal what real strategic formulation demands: specific goals, measurable outcomes, honest assessment, and the courage to test results against reality. When vagueness replaces rigor, organizations confuse aspiration with strategy—and wonder why nothing compounds.Loved this episode?
