Regenerative medicine has made some great strides include printing vascular networks and helped reconnect damaged nerves. Plus DNA activated robots that function on a molecular level.
We've discovered a treasure trove of planets around Trappist. What does that mean in the search of intelligent life across the universe? How do we find exoplanets? What other earth like planets are out there?
Studying language in the brain from the way we process words, recognise poetry and mishear with the McGurk effect. Are we hard wired to appreciate poetry? What happens when we see one sound but hear another? All this and more on Lagrange Point.
Farming becomes high-tech with electricity generating trees, farming crops of big data and robots bee-coming a polinator by swapping drone bees for drone UAVs.
What happened 470 million of years ago that has been showering us with meteorites ever since then? What connection is there between an explosion in meteorites with an explosion in life in ancient oceans? What do we know about meteorites today?
What turns hamsters into crazed cannibals? What part of the brain turns mice into hunter killers? How do plants signal when they're under attack from strange prey?
Clusters of earthquakes from Italy to Tonga. What causes these strange swarms of earthquakes and what have we learnt from the recent disasters in Italy and Tonga?
What is the Asgardian connection to the very beginning of life itself? How do we classify the different kinds of life at a cellular level? What was the spark that kicked it off? How does life survive in strange places like a glacier?
How can we bee one step ahead of bacteria in the fight against antibiotic resistance? How do bacteria hide and survive against all our countermeasures? What codes do they use?
Saving time, resetting time and adding time. To celebrate new years we focus on some time related stories of science of the brain and of the very concept of time itself.
