INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Biomagnetism refers to the ability of organisms to sense magnetic fields. The study of biomagnetism encompasses many areas of research including the emerging field of geobiology.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Neutrinos are particles in nature which were until recently thought to have no mass. Recent discoveries however have shown that these particles do indeed have mass. The implication of these and other discoveries were discussed.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Biomaterials are synthetic materials capable of replacing damaged tissue in living organisms. These materials hold great promise for biomedical research.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: The evolution of uncertainty in scientific thought is a relatively recent occurrence. The emergence of this ideas has roots in not only science, but art and philosophy as well. On this program, Dr. David Peat discussed the history of uncertainty in science.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Stem cells are progenitor cells that give rise to mature cell types. In the nervous system, adult neural stem cells give rise to new nerve cells in the brain. This show featured an interview discussing current research on adult neurogenesis.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Analyzing consumer behavior is a complicated field in current economic research. The complexity of the behavior requires knowledge of cross-cutting disciplines. This show featured current work on consumer behavior.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Time travel is a concept widely used in science fiction literature. However, current research in physics suggests that the possibility of traveling through time exists. This show featured a discussion of such ideas
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Geobiology is a rapidly emerging field that seeks to unite studies of geology with ongoing biological questions, for example the sensing of the earth's magnetic field by some organisms. This show featured an interview with the expert in the field of geobiology.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: The life and times of mathematician John F. Nash Jr. have garnered a great deal of attention since the release of the popular movie, A Beautiful Mind, chronicled events in his life. This show featured an interview with the author of the Nash's biography discussing Nash's struggles with math, schizophrenia, and the Nobel Prize.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Semiconductors have revolutionized the world as we know it. However, further advances in semiconductor technology will rely on advances in our understanding of material properties. This show examined developments in the field of organic semiconductors.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Communicating developments in science and technology to the public at large is essential to establishing a science literate populace. However, translating the sometimes obscure jargon of the trade can be a challenge. This show examined this role of science journalism.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Technology as an art form may seem paradoxical. However, the seamless blending of technology in art is capable of broadening the palette of artistic expression. This show featured an interview with two members of The Flying Karamazov Brothers discussing their technology driven show.
INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION: Modern cosmology has concerned itself primarily with the initial formation and subsequent evolution of the universe to the present day. However, few cosmologists have made predictions of the final end state of the universe. This show featured an interview with Prof. Frank Tipler discussing his theory of the Omega Point collapse of the universe.
