Was wäre, wenn ein heftiger Sonnensturm die Erde trifft und alle Handynetze ausfallen? Wenn Antibiotika nicht mehr helfen, weil alle Keime resistent sind? Oder was wäre, wenn Künstliche Intelligenz uns Menschen ersetzt? Es gibt globale Bedrohungen, die ziemlich unheimlich klingen, aber leider realistisch sind. Im Original Podcast "Rein hypothetisch" spielt der Erzähler Oliver Schmaering diese Szenarien durch und zeigt mögliche Auswege. Auf dass am Ende alles gut wird.

Wenn Biologen bei Freunden zum Essen eingeladen sind, müssen sie immer wieder die ganz existentiellen Fragen beantworten - manchmal auch die intimen und die ekligen. Was bezweckt eine Nachtigall, wenn sie singt? Haben Goldfische einen Penis? Wird man krank, wenn man am Biofilm im Kühlschrank leckt? In diesem Original Podcast leisten eine in allen Lebenslagen erfahrene marine Mikrobiologin und ein Experte für Amphibien und Reptilien erste Info-Hilfe, zusammen mit einem Journalisten, der eine unschlagbare Begeisterung für alles Lebendige hat.

Auf geht die Weltreise: In der zweiten Staffel nehmen uns die GEO-Reporter erneut mit in die entlegensten Winkel der Welt. In ihren spannenden Geschichten verknüpfen sie Abenteuer, Wissen und gesellschaftliche Themen. Ihre packenden Reportagen erzählen von ihren gewagten Recherchen rund um den Globus und von berührenden Begegnungen.

Wie kann ein Umzug dafür sorgen, dass ich mich umweltbewusster verhalte? Warum ist Onlineshopping manchmal besser für das Klima als lokal einzukaufen? Und was haben Singvögel mit Menschen in der Disko gleich? Mit diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen macht sich Journalistin Isabelle Rogge auch in der zweiten Staffel von "Planet A" für mehr Nachhaltigkeit stark. Wöchentlich interviewt sie Expert*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen zu harten Fakten und gibt praktische Einstiegstipps. Denn die Umwelt zu schützen ist nicht schwer. Ganz im Gegenteil, es macht ziemlich viel Spaß.

Eine Welt ohne Physiker wäre möglich, aber unberechenbar. Zum Glück geht es in Staffel 12 weiter mit diesen drei: Moderator Jens Schröder entdeckt mit den Physikern Michael Büker und Johannes Kückens neue Wissensschätze. Und weil ja genau genommen ALLES Physik ist, darf die Themenwahl wieder gewohnt bunt aussehen: Es geht auf Tour zu den allerbesten Planeten-Reisezielen und an den Beginn des Atomzeitalters. Wir bewegen uns mit Schallgeschwindigkeit durch Cappuccino und werfen einen wissenschaftlich gestützten Blick auf den Ursprung von allem – und auch auf unseren Frühstücksteller.

Humpback whales are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Some scientists believe they might even surpass humans in self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. In this episode, we swim with a whale as he teams up with other humpbacks to use bubbles to catch fish, rescues a sea lion, and puts his own spin on melodies sung by whales across the Pacific Ocean. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this whale is ready to close one eye and go to sleep, you will be too.

Nas dez aulas de A ciência na ficção científica: de viagens interestelares a viagens no tempo, Erin Macdonald entrelaça a ciência e as conquistas da imaginação para revelar a verdade por trás das nossas histórias favoritas e mostrar o que o futuro pode nos reservar. Desde viagens mais rápidas do que a luz até viagens no tempo, a ficção científica expande as barreiras das possibilidades. A humanidade está estendendo os limites da ciência enquanto procura voar entre as estrelas.

A Russian dissident, a Jesuit priest, and an American mule skinner are but a few of the bold visionaries who crafted the scientific story of cosmic origins. The collective insights of these and numerous creative thinkers advanced human understanding from mythology to mathematics, yielding falsifiable alternatives to ancient folklore and campfire tales. Listening to the Big Bang tells the dramatic human story—filled with colorful characters, unsung catalysts, and glorified heroes—which made the Big Bang the leading cosmological theory.

The sun sinks over the Rio Grande, the mountains around it glow orange, and the world slows down. The Mexican free-tailed bats inside the Jornada Cave are just starting to stretch and murmur. In this episode, we visit the nursery where all the baby bats stay together, and we accompany a new mother as she journeys into the sky with the rest of her crew for a night of hunting bugs via echolocation.

Crows have long been the subject of folklore, likely because they’re strikingly similar to humans, leading lives rich in personality, intelligence, and relationships. In this episode, we fly the streets of Seattle with a crow as she grooms her mate, delivers what appears to be a gift, and finally commutes miles away from her territory to gather and chat with thousands of other crows before it’s time to roost for the night.

Dung beetles might sound dirty, but the ancient Egyptians believed their god took the form of a dung beetle to roll the morning sun across the sky every day. In this episode, we roll with dung beetles around the world as they push their precious dung—often in balls many times larger than they are—over Florida pastures, Armenian highlands, and the vast South African savanna.

Brown bears lead deeply cyclical lives. They need to gain sometimes hundreds of pounds during the warmer months to prepare for winter hibernation, a lifestyle that brings them into frequent contact with many other species’ cycles. In this episode, we meander through the Alaska peninsula with a bear and her cubs as she teaches them to hunt salmon at the falls, dig for clams along the coastal mudflats, and use the regional rubbing tree.

Elephants are the largest land animals in the world. They are also intensely social and have advanced long-term memories. In this episode, a parade of Asian elephants makes its way through the Sri Lankan forest to a lake for drinks and mud baths, stopping periodically for group naps. The female leading the parade uses infrasonic rumbles—inaudible to humans, but traveling as far as two miles along the surface of the Earth as seismic waves—to invite friends and family around the forest to join her at the reservoir.

Platypuses are mammals unlike any other on earth. They lay eggs, ooze milk through their skin, and can sense electricity. In this episode, we travel with a platypus as he moves through his nightly routine on the island of Tasmania. He uses electroreceptors to hunt underwater and does a synchronized swimming courtship ritual with his mate, who then digs a burrow 40 feet deep into the riverbank to nest.

Sloths are the slowest mammals on earth. They can hardly see. They live in rainforests among jaguars, pumas, and countless other predators. Yet they survive. And they do it by being so incredibly slow, and living a life covered in algae. In this episode, we hang with a sloth in the jungle of Costa Rica as he spends a month digesting one single leaf, and we see the symbiosis and collaboration that surrounds him.

Dogs are a familiar and comforting part of many of our lives. In this episode, we take a walk with a pet xoloitzcuintli, or Mexican hairless dog, as he greets his blocks by smell. Along the way, we learn the backstory of squirrels in U.S. cities and observe the very smart and clean neighborhood raccoon.

Fennec foxes’ ears can be up to half as long as their bodies. They use them to track movement across the Sahara Desert, including under the sand. In this episode, we follow a fox as he meanders home to his family through the sand dunes as they slowly shift with the wind.

I due astrocosi più lamentosi d’Italia, Luca Perri e Adrian Fartade, tornano al cinema per analizzare la scienza dei più famosi e discussi film di fantascienza… e non solo! Quali pellicole analizzeranno questa volta? Che voti daranno al loro realismo scientifico? Ma, soprattutto, quale scienza ci narreranno? Bando alla sospensione dell’incredulità e bando alle ciance, che già loro due sono prolissi.

Insects are dying off at an apocalyptic rate, or are they? Now there's a way to find out. In this limited series, we go to a remote island rainforest to listen to sound-based research that could reveal the truth about global insect death.
