Episode #19
How can we detect exoplanets, i.e. planets orbiting other stars, potentially a few tens of lightyears away from Earth? What can we learn about their host stars from the way their light is dimmed by the planets...
Episode #18
What is the effect of clouds on the global and local climate on Earth? How much of the solar radiation can they reflect back to space? How much of the surface heat can they trap? Can we describe and predict how the...
Episode #17
What is a catalyst? And what is an enzyme instead? It turns out catalysts are fundamental in speeding up chemical reactions that would otherwise occur in a very, very long time. Enzymes, biological catalysts, take part...
Episode #16
Description: Who says phase transitions are only diagrams and critical lines? What if they could be understood through something as simple as making a smooth, cheesy sauce? In this episode, Ivan Di Terlizzi, from the...
Episode #15
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents us from pinpointing an electron in real time with arbitrary accuracy. What this means is that if we were to shine light on an electron and excite it, we would not be able to...
Episode #14
Neurodegenerative diseases are disorders characterised by a gradual, yet steady, loss or death of neurons, the brain cells, a condition that eventually leads to decline in motor and cognitive functions. Despite our best...
Episode #13
Johanna Byloff is a PhD candidate at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. In this episode, she will talk about experimental techniques to stick together metals and polymers to obtain flexible, yet resistant, compounds which...
Episode #12
How does a star like our Sun actually work? What fuels this giant ball of gas—and how does it change over time? And where do the elements of the periodic table really come from?<br> In this episode, we explore these...
Episode #11
What is biophysics? What does it study, and why is it so difficult to apply physics to predict the behavior of living organisms? Professor Douwe Bonthuis from Graz University of Technology takes us on a journey through...
Episode #10
What if we told you there is a fourth state of matter all around us—one that powers neon signs, lights up the aurora and fuels fusion reactors? Christopher Albert, from Graz University of Technology, will help us...
Episode #9
Have you ever heard about Guglielmo Marconi? Ever wondered how we can communicate with satellites in orbit around Earth efficiently? And also, how many satellites are "up there"? These is just a short selection of the...
Episode #8
What is matter made of? If we could zoom in to unimaginably small scales, we’d see atoms and gases teeming with electrons in constant motion. Laser spectroscopy is one of the powerful tools scientists use to explore...
Episode #7
What does one mean by philosophy of physics? How can philosophy help us understand the physical world? In particular, when it comes to quantum mechanics, human intuition seems to break down. Is the wave function real...
Episode #6

Episode #5
If sunlight is often described as "white," why do we see so many colors? How are colors connected to the wavelengths of light? And what exactly is a wavelength? Anna Galler, a researcher at TU Graz, takes us on a...
Episode #4
What do you know about paper? It is a very common "object" in our everyday experience and still there is so much to discover about it! Karin Zojer, Professor at Graz University of Technology, leads us through the...
Episode #3
What if we could "kick" one electron now and have a current going on forever? Christoph Heil, Professor at Graz University of Technology, tells us that when things get really (really!) cool this is already possible. But...
Episode #2
"More is different". The famous quote from P. Anderson. What did he mean by that? Why is interaction between particles so interesting and difficult to describe? We continue on our journey through the fascinating realm...
Episode #1
Have you ever heard about the Schroedinger cat? And what about particles that move like waves? Quantum mechanics is full of wonders but provides answers that often challenge our intuition. Markus Aichhorn, Professor at...
