Mike and Chad welcome Nobel Laureate William Phillips to discuss his research into the "coolest stuff in the universe," meaning that we discuss techniques to make atoms as cold as a mere 10^-10 degrees above absolute zero.

Mike and Chad discuss the newly discovered comet C2022 E3 (ZTF) which can be viewed right now, with a peak brightness on February 1. So learn about comets and try to go out to find this one while you still can.

Mike and Chad discuss some of the recent research being done to create electrical power through fusion. If possible, it would create clean energy without the waste that other energy sources create.

Chad and Mike invite Leah Rensel to talk about bat behavior and ways that scientists are trying to stop the white nose syndrome, which has already killed millions of bats in North America.

Mike and Chad discuss the wonders of water and how its atomic structure gives it all of its properties. Specifically, we answer why is ice slippery? To find the answer, join us on our fun journey into liquid water and ice.

Mike and Chad tackle one of the more difficult analogies regarding quantum mechanics in today's episode. Schrodinger's Cat inside of a box is one of the more well-known quantum analogies but is also one of the least understood. So join us in this wild ride.
