"Terra in vista - La scienza e la tecnologia spiegate a mio figlio" è un programma di Radio24 di divulgazione scientifica per ragazzi, condotto da Federico Taddia e dal filosofo della scienza Telmo Pievani. A cosa serve il sonno? Cosa succede al nostro cervello quando si dorme? Si può dormire ad occhi aperti? Ospite della puntata è Lino Nobili, docente di Neuropsichiatria infantile all'Università di Genova. Come sempre non può mancare l'esperimento proposto da Agnese Sonato, caporedattrice della rivista scientifica per bambini PLaNCK.

"Naissance et destin de l'univers", c'est toute l'histoire de notre univers telle qu'on la comprend aujourd'hui : du néant, à la naissance de l'univers, et jusqu'à son destin final. Figure d'autorité des plus captivantes, Paul Parsons nous entraine dans un voyage palpitant à travers des milliards d'années lumières pour nous raconter l'histoire du big bang, du début à la fin. Quelque chose d'incroyable est arrivé il y a 13,8 milliards d'années.

"Tutta la nostra scienza, in confronto con la realtà, è primitiva e infantile, e tuttavia è la cosa più preziosa che abbiamo". Albert Einstein. Massimo Polidoro, scrittore e divulgatore scientifico, ci conduce alla scoperta dei tanti modi in cui la scienza attraversa la nostra vita quotidiana, aiutandoci a capire quello che ognuno di noi dovrebbe conoscere.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Biologen können ganz erstaunliche Dinge zu allgemeinen Gesprächen beitragen - und ganz ehrlich, irgendwie faszinieren uns doch alle die großen Fragen nach dem Leben und unserer Umwelt. Wozu sind Bakterien gut? Wie steht es um die Gesundheit der Korallenriffe? Was ist Schwarmintelligenz? Hier leisten eine in allen Lebenslagen erfahrene marine Mikrobiologin und ein Experte für Amphibien und Reptilien Abhilfe und erklären, erzählen und begeistern. Begleitet werden sie dabei von einem Moderator, der die richtigen Fragen stellt.
