More than a decade after experiments first produced a single atom of the element, a team of German scientists has been credited with its discovery.


I continue my talk to Dr Andrew Prentice from Monash University, extending on the discussion in part 1 of this interview series on Supersonic Turbulence, to talk about the Modern Laplacian Theory, and how it helps describe planetary and satellite formation, and it’s weaknesses...


Brains Matter Are fingerprints foolproof? Dr Karl discusses the assumptions around this. CSI programs - be wary. You may be wrong!


Brains Matter Thanks to MM for this one... awesome stuff.
Pattie Maes & Pranav Mistry: Unveiling the "Sixth Sense", game-changing wearable tech by hydkaran420

This demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz of TED. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.


David at 12:01am June 8
Well done Pranav Mistry. I want one. It would make my job much easier.


I talk to Dr Andrew Prentice on the topic of Supersonic Turbulence, a theory he proposed which helps in understanding his predictions on the objects within the solar system and formation of the solar system...

Yes but what caused the eruption?
Were the Siberian Traps caused by asteroid impacts now found off the NW Australian coast and in Antarctica?
Were the Indian Traps caused by the Chicxulub asteroid impact 65 million years ago?
The shock waves from an asteroid hitting the Earth is like a tsunami hitting an island - the shock waves meet head-on on the opposite side with tremendous force.
Where might the impact site have been on the opposite side of the planet for the Emeishan eruptions?

Brains Matter "Taking Science to Congress" - John Edward Porter. This is probably one of the best, if not best, speeches I've heard from a conservative politician in my lifetime. Porter is a Republican from the US, but what he talks about is universally relevant to all of us.


A summary of the most recent episode on the expansion of the universe was featured for the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast today. 365 Days of Astronomy - Brains Matter interview with Dr Brian Schmidt (summary)


We’ve all wondered about the creation of the universe - from the big bang onwards. What next? Is the galaxy going to slow down from the big bang? Will there be multiple big bangs and big crunches? The reality of the matter is astounding...


I talk to Dr Maria Lugaro on the topic of pre-solar grains. Topics we cover include: - What are pre-solar grains? - Do they only exist in our solar system? - How big are they? - How do we capture pre-solar grains on Earth?...
