Ein Elektro-Ingenieur im Autohaus: Was passiert, wenn einer der führenden Professoren für elektrische Antriebe plötzlich selbst vor dem E-Auto-Kauf steht? Prof. Martin Doppelbauer, Professor für Hybride und Elektrische Fahrzeuge am KIT, schlendert für uns virtuell durch ein Autohaus – und nimmt uns mit auf die Suche nach dem richtigen E-Auto.

If you’re on social media, you may feel bombarded by influencers promoting peptides for a range of ailments so broad it almost seems like a brand-new trend. But peptide-based therapies actually date back to 1922, when insulin was first administered to treat diabetes. But it wasn’t until semaglutide (better known as Ozempic) entered the market that peptides truly captured public attention. In today’s episode, we explore how what chemists and other scientists learned from insulin paved the way ...

This episode of The Only Way Is Hydrogen? shifts the conversation away from asking whether hydrogen works and towards the bigger challenge: how do we make hydrogen happen? Chris Foxall, Founder & CEO of Hyppo, offers a unique commercial perspective, explaining how Hyppo is helping turn successful demonstrations into repeatable deployment by creating demand, connecting infrastructure and building regional energy ecosystems that deliver today. https://www.linkedin.com/company/gw-shif...

This webinar recording highlights the work of Dr. Delgoffe and the team, demonstrating how metabolically distinct tumor models can be deconstructed into defined immunologic and metabolic stressors to establish a clearer preclinical framework for studying T-cell dysfunction.

Pomegranate’s deep red color and famously stubborn stains come from more than visual drama—they reflect the fruit’s unusual chemistry. Its signature compound is punicalagin, a large polyphenol concentrated mainly in the peel, pith, and membranes. Yet punicalagin itself is barely absorbed by the body. More than 90 percent travels to the colon, where certain gut bacteria transform it into smaller, absorbable compounds called urolithins. Urolithin A is the metabolite attracting the most scientific

Is AI really plotting against us? In a week where an Anthropic researcher believes there is more than a 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans' we're delving deeper into the capabilities of AI agents. Tom Whipple is joined by Alex Mallen, from Redwood Research, the team whose recent investigation exposed the surprising, weird, and worrying scale of a website hack conducted by OpenAI agents.Is this the most important story we will ever cover on Inside Science? Or is this all just credulous sci fi hype

How much should scientific literature actually influence your clinical decisions—and how do you know which dental research to trust? In Episode 48 of Bonding & Beer, Dr. Rolando Nuñez explores how scientific literature shapes clinical decision-making in dentistry, from understanding evidence-based dentistry to recognizing the important differences between in vitro research and clinical studies. With new research constantly being published, and studies sometimes reaching conflicting conc...

In the late 1950s, a tuberculosis drug was repurposed as the world’s first antidepressant. Then the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Prozac ushered in a new era of antidepressants. Today SSRIs are some of the most widely prescribed drugs in the country, but gaps still exist in our biological understanding of mental health, the overall efficacy of antidepressants, and predicting serious side effects. In response, some scientists and physicians are turning to different classes of d...

Brazil nuts are among the Amazon rainforest’s most remarkable foods. Botanically, they are seeds packed inside heavy, coconut-like pods that fall from trees towering more than 130 feet above the forest floor. Nearly all commercial Brazil nuts are still gathered from the wild because the trees depend on an intricate ecological partnership among specialized orchid bees, rainforest orchids, and seed-dispersing agoutis. This makes their harvest a rare “standing forest” economy—one in which healthy,

The quest for Dark Matter just got interesting. Researchers on an international project called the Lux-Zeplin (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment reported they may have discovered the signature of a bit of Dark Matter passing through an underground mine in South Dakota. Kimberly Palladino, professor of physics at Oxford and a member of that LZ collaboration, speaks with Roland to explain how dark matter is being detected. Probiotics have long been all the rage in health advice, but this week we discovered

Deutschland hat ein Smart-Meter-Problem! Und mit Bastian Gierull (CEO Octopus Energy Germany) finden wir dafür heute bei Geladen deutliche Worte: Der deutsche Weg ist ein Desaster! Während Wind und Sonne immer häufiger Strom im Überfluss produzieren und die Preise bis auf -499 Euro/MWh abstürzen, fehlt es vor allem an Flexibilität. Der schleppende Smart-Meter-Rollout verhindert, dass Stromverbraucher und Batterien intelligent auf Preissignale reagieren können – und wird damit zum Bremsklotz der

Send us Fan Mail Växtskyddspodden E92 – Kan en höstraps bli för kraftig? När varma höstar, tidig sådd och gott om växtkraft sammanfaller kan rapsen växa så bra att det faktiskt blir ett problem. I det här avsnittet av Växtskyddspodden pratar vi om biologin bakom tillväxten, viktigheten av att säkra övervintring, varför tillväxtpunkten ska hållas tillbaka och hur lantbrukaren kan undvika att en lovande gröda tappar sin tjusning. Tillsammans med Mikael Thörner från Lantmännen och Peter Löfgren ...

The discovery of sex hormones in the 1930s led to the development of female birth control, a widely used class of drugs that reshaped cultural norms surrounding fertility and bodily autonomy. But contraception remains largely the responsibility of women. On today’s episode: the evolution of birth control and the future of male contraception.

I næsten 30 år arbejder kemikeren Otto Hahn og fysikeren Lise Meitner side om side og bliver et af videnskabens stærkeste makkerpar. Da den jødiske Meitner tvinges på flugt fra Nazityskland, kunne det ligne et punktum. Men de fortsætter i al hemmelighed deres samarbejde på afstand - og ender med en opdagelse, der forandrer verdenshistorien for altid. En opdagelse, der dog samtidig skal splitte de to gamle venner i spørgsmålet om, hvem der egentlig fortjener æren.  Afsnittet er skrevet, tilrettelagt

What happens when textbook theory meets the unpredictable reality of an operational chemical plant?In this episode, Dr. Peter Clark is joined by Dr. Linda Cotter, Senior University Teacher in Chemical Engineering at the University of Sheffield, to explore why traditional engineering education often leaves graduates underprepared for the plant floor—and how we can fix it. Drawing from her international academic career across South Africa, Australia, and the UK, Dr. Cotter breaks down the hidden

Reports about the impacts of datacentres, including carbon emissions, water usage and power consumption, vary drastically and the truth can be hard to decipher. Deborah Andrews, Emeritus Professor at London South Bank University, joins us for some myth busting. Plus, science journalist Caroline Steel has been scouring the journals and brings us some of this week’s most exciting science news, including the failed attempts to save the Swift space telescope. Presenter: Tom Whipple Producers: Alex

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?
