Along the way it will take in Earth’s extraordinary range of life forms, from microbes to invertebrates, birds, amphibians, mammals and humanity itself.

Capybaras possess such a calm and gentle nature that many other animal species treat them as friends—including the birds who ride on their backs. In this episode, we follow a capybara as she lounges in the lagoon and covers herself in mud to repel bugs.

Si hay alguien capaz de explicar conceptos ciéntificos con humor y con un lenguaje apto para el más sencillo de los mortales, estos son los divulgadores Javier Santaolalla y Santi García Cremades. En Super X, el club de los superhéroes perdidos, reciben multitud de llamadas de personas que dicen tener superpoderes cotidianos que no están potenciados por el conocimiento científico actual. En Super X, Javier y Santi encontrarán a los héroes de un nuevo tiempo, donde los límites de la ciencia van a ser completamente sobrepasados.

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.

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.

Stephen Fry travels into the most remarkable place we know - our brain. The organ of knowledge and the one we know least about. Over 12 episodes Stephen explores just how much we’ve learned about this mysterious structure in recent years and tries to answer some of the most difficult questions that remain. To do this, we relay the discoveries and stories of neuroscientists, psychologists, anthropologists and even philosophers, to add illumination and perspective as we travel. Each episode will be full of brainy stories: some shocking, some thrilling, some scarcely believable.

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.

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.

Welcome to our voyage of discovery. In this series we’ll be travelling to many hard to reach places. Some hidden from view entirely: deep waters, high skies, the vastness of space. We’ll fly with a bee across a summer meadow all the way into her hive. Dive deep into the ocean to visit the miraculous Black Smokers. And we’ll even travel on the inside of a water molecule before it turns into a hailstone. We’re on an extraordinary audio journey of imagination – to learn something fascinating about our world and gently relax or fall asleep along the way.

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.

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.

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.

Every year, 200 experts across machine learning, automation, robotics, and space arrive in Palm Springs for MARS to share new ideas about how these four fields will shape our future. TV host and maker of things Adam Savage (MythBusters) takes listeners deep inside the MARS conference. In interviews with more than a dozen leading scientists and thinkers, Savage explores the mind-blowing and often misunderstood ways in which science and innovation are transforming the way we live, work, and play.

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.

Science fiction allows us to go places we can only dream of seeing - other worlds, distant stars, entirely different galaxies. While not every story is concerned with the hard science behind space travel and other futuristic ventures, fiction can give us amazing insight into what we could be capable of and what we dream of doing. In these 10 lectures, Professor Erin Macdonald interweaves real science and the achievements of the imagination to reveal the truth that underlies our favorite stories and sheds light on what the future may hold.

In a quiet forest in Sweden, a cluster of Amanita muscaria mushrooms, with their iconic red caps dotted with white spots, push through a bed of soft reindeer moss. These crimson fungi interact with all manner of species in the forest—including a squirrel, who takes a nibble and wanders away in an altered state. These enchanted mushrooms also form partnerships with the trees, trading nutrients under the soil.

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.

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.
