Soms lees je over een spectaculaire doorbraak in de wetenschap en als je daar als gelovige in de vooruitgang blij mee bent, is er slecht nieuws: het is niet altijd waar. Er bestaat namelijk zoiets als wetenschapsfraude en wel meer dan je denkt. 'Sloppy science' noemt wetenschapsjournalist Stan van Pelt het. Van selectief shoppen uit meetresultaten tot regelrechte datafabricage, al dan niet uit platte honger naar geld en roem. Hij beschrijft het allemaal in zijn nieuwe boek.

Episode: 2909 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Providing Renewable Energy, A Comparison of Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Lithium Ion Battery.  Today, a neat way to get energy.

A visitor from far beyond the solar system is getting better acquainted with the Sun this week. Tomorrow, it’ll make its closest approach to the Sun – just 126 million miles. After that, it’ll head back toward interstellar space. The visitor is 3I/ATLAS. It was discovered on July 1st by an automated telescope that looks for comets and asteroids. Calculations of its orbit quickly showed that it came from outside the solar system. That makes it the third known visitor from

Science correspondent Nicola Davis investigates the strange story of Tam O’Braan and his attempts to grow tea in Scotland. In episode one, Nicola looks back on her first meeting with Tam while working on a feature about tea plantations in the UK. He was selling his award-winning Scottish-grown tea to some of the UK’s finest hotels, but something didn’t quite add up. And Nicola wasn’t the only person taking an interest in his story.

A family home built in the 1800s becomes the heart of a haunting that refuses to fade. When a young girl loses her grandmother, she thinks death means goodbye—until the night she wakes to find her standing by the window, glowing in blue light, wearing the same gown she was buried in. Years later, the house still breathes with memories. Footsteps echo in empty rooms, the air grows heavy on the stairs, and two siblings share the same nightmare—of a closet that doesn’t exist. When renovations uncover

Just when you thought the conversation couldn't get any more vulnerable, JT and Anthony are here to test your discomfort.

Para entender la importancia de este hallazgo, hace falta darle un repaso a un concepto fundamental en la astrofísica: la metalicidad.Y aquí es donde entra en escena nuestra protagonista: SDSS J0715-7334. Porque esta estrella ha pulverizado todos los récords conocidos de pureza. De hecho, es aproximadamente 20.000 veces más pobre en metales que nuestro Sol. Los datos preliminares de su espectro, presentados en el servidor arXiv a la espera de revisión por pares,

Från medicinmäns erfarenheter till laboratoriestudier så hoppas forskare kunna utveckla växtbaserade medel för att komplettera dagens läkemedel. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Traditionell kunskap om växters läkande egenskaper har i generationer varit en central del av vård och behandling i många samhällen världen över. Nu satsar forskare och Världshälsoorganisationen, WHO, på att ta dessa erfarenheter vidare via medicinmän för att testa substanser i modern laboratoriemiljö och

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest, John Gertz. John was once the director of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was one of the leading people in the science community trying to discover life outside of our planet.As public interest in UFOs (or UAPs) surges, from NASA reports to Congressional hearings, the phenomena is at a boiling point. As board chair of the SETI Institute, Gertz is uniquely positioned to cut through the noise. With his

What does it mean to see beneath the surface — of the human body, the brain, or even the universe itself? In his new book, The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World, Prof. Daniel Sodickson of NYU explores the future of imaging: How technology is transforming not just medicine, but our very ways of perceiving the world. With the rise of AI-driven “digital vision,” Sodickson, a pioneer of MRI innovation, argues that imaging is no longer just a diagnostic tool — it’s becoming a new

A new study reveals that the biggest barrier to space-based solar power isn’t in orbit—it’s on Earth. Researchers found that while thousands of satellites could technically beam solar energy from geostationary orbit, real-world factors like limited land for rectennas near the equator sharply reduce that number.Even so, the analysis shows SBSP could still provide up to 3% of global power, underscoring its potential as a future clean energy source.

Listeners, this week the most significant, widespread, and destructive windstorm event sweeping across our region hasn’t come inland over the United States, but its sheer scale and power demand attention.
