Axolotls are nature's ultimate Peter Pan—amphibians that never transform past the larval stage. Found only in Mexico’s ancient lake system of Xochimilco, they've survived since the time of the Aztecs, a people who considered them sacred. In this episode, we glide through the cool, dark water with an axolotl, meandering through the floating gardens these charming creatures call home.

Join Stephen Fry for the greatest story on Earth: the story of life itself. A twelve-part exploration of the incredible diversity of living beings on our planet. Our journey starts four billion years ago with the earliest signs of life deep in the ocean. Along the way it will take in Earth’s extraordinary range of life forms, from microbes to invertebrates, birds, amphibians, mammals and humanity itself.

La ciencia ficción nos permite visitar lugares que sólo podemos soñar ver: otros mundos, estrellas lejanas, galaxias enteramente nuevas. No todos los relatos se ocupan de la ciencia real que hay detrás de los viajes espaciales y otras empresas futuristas, pero la ficción puede ofrecer una perspectiva asombrosa de hasta dónde podrían llegar nuestras capacidades y de lo que soñamos con hacer.

Sixty years ago in the snowy valleys of Japan, a young snow monkey discovered a hotel’s hot spring, and others in her troop soon joined her. Now, generations of families have built their routines around their own hot springs. In this episode, we follow a young snow monkey as her troop leaps from rock to rock toward their favorite activity in winter: a long steamy soak.

Join Brandy Schillace for a look back at the development of forensic science over the past two centuries, a journey that will take you from Victorian serial killers to digital sleuthing in the 21st century. In the 10 lectures of How to Catch a Killer: A History of the Forensic Science Toolkit, you’ll discover how advances in forensic science have thwarted criminals and improved our ability to bring them to justice.

Whether you’re looking for proof of alien life or seeking the meaning of life here on Earth, you’ll find that the domain of philosophy and the realm of the weird converge in surprising ways via the six lectures of From Aliens to Bigfoot: A Philosopher’s Guide to the Strange. Guided by Dr. Frank Cabrera and Dr. Megan Fritts, you’ll dive into some of the most bizarre—and most philosophically fascinating—wonders of the world.

Against the white expanse of the Arctic tundra, a snowy owl is hardly visible as he pauses to listen for the rustling of small prey. While most Arctic birds migrate south for the winter, this owl can survive through the endless polar nights. In this episode, we follow a snowy owl as he searches for food in the dark, soaring past the footprints of polar bears, howling huskies, and snow foxes that call this wintry world home.

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.

Washington, 24. Juni 1947: Ein Hitzeblitz am wolkenlosen Himmel über dem Mount Rainier verändert das Weltbild des Amateurpiloten Kenneth Arnold für immer. Neun scheibenförmige, gleißende Objekte jagen mit unfassbaren 2700 Stundenkilometern an ihm vorbei – wie Untertassen, die über das Wasser hüpfen. Es ist die Geburtsstunde eines Begriffs, der eine weltweite Manie auslösen sollte: die „fliegende Untertasse". In dieser Folge von Erzähl mir alles: Geschichte knöpfen sich die Hosts Jasmin Kröger und Robert Rauh die Area 51 vor.

Die Wissenschaft ist auf der Suche nach Wahrheit und Erkenntnis - das denken viele. Und in den meisten Fällen stimmt das auch. Aber Wissenschaft wird von Menschen gemacht, mit all ihren menschlichen Schwächen. Und die kommen manchmal auch im Labor oder in der Studierstube ans Tageslicht: Menschen lügen, fälschen und verleumden. Sie stehlen und quälen. Und gehen manchmal sogar über Leichen, um reich oder berühmt zu werden. Auch in der Forschung.

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.

Approximately 66 million years ago, an asteroid struck the Earth, triggering a chain of events that would end the reign of the dinosaurs and usher in the age of mammals. Despite its colossal scale, this incident was not the only event of its kind—in fact, it wasn’t even the first. Rather, it’s only the most recent mass extinction our planet has witnessed across its 4-billion-year lifespan.

At the southernmost tip of South Africa, where fresh and salt water collide, a tiny seahorse appears to levitate. Seahorses are the ocean’s slowest swimmers, but they have one of the world’s fastest muscle contractions, using it to suction up their prey. In this episode, we meander through eelgrass with a male Knysna seahorse as he twines tails with his partner, changes color to match the sand, and even gives birth to a brood of tiny seahorses.

"Chi pensa di aver capito la fisica quantistica o è matto oppure mente". Richard Feynmann. La voce di Gabriella Greison, fisica, scrittrice e attrice teatrale, racconta in maniera semplice la fisica quantistica, facendo un percorso suggestivo tra le menti che l'hanno creata e le loro geniali intuizioni. La fisica quantistica è nata dall'incrocio dei pensieri dei cervelli più grandi della scienza del XX secolo, e Gabriella Greison traccia questo sentiero fatto anche di slanci emotivi e colpi di scena, di litigi e di lunghe riflessioni.

In The Big Melt, Rolling Stone contributing editor and leading environmental journalist Jeff Goodell takes the listener up close and personal to one of the world’s most remote locations—Western Antarctica—and to the foot of the staggeringly important Thwaites Glacier.

Off Menu is a charming, fun-fact-filled deep dive into the little-known science of food and dining: why we eat what we eat, the nuances of our experience of taste and flavor, and the tiny, easy hacks and tweaks that, when mastered, can make a huge difference in our diets, meals, and relationships with food and drink.

Seit Milliarden Jahren prägen Tiere und Pflanzen unsere Erde. In den Naturkundemuseen des Landes lagern viele Objekte, die von ihrem Leben zeugen und nur darauf warten, von der Wissenschaft entschlüsselt zu werden. "Vor unserer Zeit" erzählt von diesen Rätseln: Was verrät uns das kleinste Chamäleon der Welt über die Evolution? Wie konnte das Skelett eines Elefanten die Weltpolitik beeinflussen? Und kann ein längst ausgestorben geglaubtes Beuteltier wieder zum Leben erweckt werden?

Red pandas have thick bushy ringed tails like raccoons, but they aren’t related to panda bears or raccoons—in fact, they have no close relatives anywhere on Earth. In this episode, we wander the Himalayas with a red panda and her cubs as they munch on bamboo, practice walking in the treetops, and settle in to nap together as the first snowfall of the year covers their forest home.

Quali sono i più incredibili meccanismi della vita? Quali tecnologie ci hanno portato alle scoperte? Come fanno scoperte vecchie di cento anni ad influenzare ancora la nostra vita e le nuove tecnologie? In "Dieci! Biologia" Giuliano, Simone e Ilaria vi accompagnano nel mondo dei viventi cercando di capire come funzionano e quali sono state le intuizioni geniali che hanno cambiato per sempre il modo in cui guardiamo il mondo che ci circonda. In collaborazione con Scientificast.it.

Adrian e Luca ci guidano con ironia alla scoperta di fatti e curiosità sui balzi scientifici e tecnologici compiuti dall'umanità: dal terreno verso l'alta atmosfera, dall'orbita terrestre a quella lunare, fino a giungere sulla superficie del nostro satellite. Dalle missioni del passato a quelle del presente, per poi concludere con uno sguardo sul futuro, un incontro per scoprire insieme quanto questo lungo viaggio abbia cambiato non solo la nostra Storia, ma anche la nostra vita quotidiana.
