- The Naked Scientists Naked Science Radio Show PODCAST - Stripping Down ScienceThe Naked Scientists - interactive science, medicine and technology weekly live radio show with Cambridge University's Dr Chris Smith. We strip down science and lay the facts bare answering your science questions, interviewing top scientists and catching up with the latest top science news stories.Naked Scientists 07.10.28 - Stem Cells and Cloning- October 30, 2007 This week on the Award Winning Naked Scientists we find out about stem cells and cloning. We discuss the elusive 'stemness' that allows cells to specialise, and learn about cloning in the post-Dolly the sheep era. We also find out how genetics has revealed that Neanderthals were redheads, how soap affects shoals of fish and some turtles come equipped with anti-roll bars. We also pay a visit to the Manchester Science Festival for a chat with Johnny Ball, and in Kitchen Science, we "clone at...http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/ Naked Scientists 07.10.21 - Particle Physics Show- October 22, 2007 This week, we delve inside atoms to find out what matter is made of, and how smashing them together can tell us about the birth of the universe. We learn about quarks, antimatter and the 'god particle' and discover that scientists are actually trying to build a black hole in the lab! Also, nano-wires give us the world's smallest solar cells, we hear about glue from mussels that sticks to teflon and the genes that tell you when to wee. Plus Meera peers inside the Dead Sea scrolls without even.http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/2007.10.21/ Naked Scientists 07.10.14 - Naked Science Q&A Show- October 15, 2007 This week, we're taking on your science questions. We find out how cockroaches and ants avoid the heat in a microwave oven, how best to protect yourself from lightning and why a light box can save you from a SAD winter. Also, a table decoration inspired, radiation-resistant spaceship design to keep astronauts healthy, how the contraceptive pill hurts A lapdancers' looks and why penguins prefer to go fishing with their pals. Plus, in Kitchen Science, Dave explains how to make a detector for the..http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/2007.10.14/ Naked Scientists 07.10.07 - Beer & Brewing- October 8, 2007 This week, we're quenching our thirst for knowledge with the science of Beer and Brewing! We learn about how beer is made, why nitrogen is vital for the perfect pint of Guinness and why professors of brewing think they have the best job in the world. We also delve into the natural history of beer, to discuss the age old argument, what came first, the beer or the bread We look into the future of beer, finding out how the chemistry of carbon dioxide could provide a purer pint. Also, a spicy...http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/2007.10.07/ Naked Scientists 07.09.30 - Smart Materials- October 2, 2007 This week, we're exploring the science of Smart Materials - we discover a Super-Non-Stick coating that even honey wont stick to and flexible plastic paper with E-Ink that we-writes itself on demand. We learn how potatoes could form the basis of future plastics and a new way to think about 'bone china', as ceramics and polymers could replace your broken bones. Also, we discover where sea turtles spend their childhood, how a microRNA gene switch could put the brakes on the spread of cancer and...http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/show/2007.09.30/ |
