It Wasn't A Hoax After All

Did the world really end in 2012? Not with fire, meteors or an ancient Mayan prophecy, but Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens ask whether something just as profound took place instead. Together they unravel how one of the biggest myths in history took hold and why the Maya were unable to accurately predict the apocalypse. But they also delve into why, according to Michael, 2012 was the year an old world was discarded and a new one began to emerge. It was, afterall, the year a novel technology became unavoidable and we began to abandon a shared culture for millions of fragmented realities. Along the way they also explore the science of confirmation bias, why humans are fascinated by the end of the world, and whether technology has made us less connected...or reconnected us in a different way. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/our-research/rest-is-science.

Return of Alpha Gal

Several years ago, in 2016, we told a story about Amy Pearl. For as long as she could remember, Amy loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn’t tolerate it. No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense: why couldn’t she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades? It turned out Amy was not alone. And the answer to her mysterious allergy involved maps, a dancing lone star tick, and a very particular sugar called Alpha Gal. In this update, we discover that our troubles with Alpha Gal go way beyond food. We go to NYU Langone Health hospital to see the second ever transplant of a kidney from a pig into a human, talk to some people at Revivicor, the company that bred the pig in question, and go back to Amy to find out what she thinks about this brave new world. The original episode was reported by Latif Nasser, and produced by Annie McEwen and Matt Kielty. Sound design and scoring from Dylan Keefe, Annie McEwen, and Matt Kielty. Mix by Dylan Keefe with Arianne Wack. The update was reported and produced by Sarah Qari. It was sound designed, scored, and mixed by Jeremy Bloom.

Bald caps, sparrow raps and lightning claps

If you were lucky enough to be at rapper Pitbull's recent concert in Hyde Park in London, you would have been greeted by a sea of bald caps. A Guiness World record-breaking sea of 22,141 bald caps. And, in honour of this incredible feat, the Unexpected Elements team are exploring some science. First, is hair the secret to healing? We find out why trading fur for sweat may have had unexpected consequences. Then, we learn all about ball lightning – real life fireballs that, despite first being sighted over 800 years ago, remain a mystery. Next, is your garden full of rap stars? We're joined by Elizabeth MacDougall-Shackleton who tells us what we can learn from sparrows' surprisingly aggressive rap battles. We're also joined by Paulo Bittencourt who proves why we should all appreciate a nice big tree. All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.

Tulivuoria ja fossiileja kotikulmilla – Mitä kalliot kertovat menneisyydestä?

Kivet ja kalliot ovat ikkuna menneisyyteen. Missä Suomessa on ollut tulivuoria? Millaisia ovat jääkauden jäljet? Mistä tarkkasilmäinen löytää fossiileja? Tiedekulmassa pohditaan, mitä kalliot voivat luonnossa kulkijalle kertoa ja lähdetään tutkijoiden kanssa matkalle jopa miljardien vuosien taakse. Ylen luontotoimittaja Minna Pyykön jututettavina on kaksi geologia Helsingin yliopistosta: tutkimuskoordinaattori Elina Lehtonen ja Luonnontieteellisen keskusmuseon yli-intendentti Arto Luttinen. Toisella tunnilla mukaan liittyy myös paleontologi Mikko Haaramo Helsingin yliopistosta. Podcast on nauhoitettu Tiedekulmassa Mitä kalliot kertovat? -tapahtumassa 25.3.2026. Keskustelu oli samalla Luonto-Suomen suora radiolähetys Yle Radio Suomessa, ja se on kuunneltavissa myös Yle Areenassa: https://areena.yle.fi/1-77407938 Katso keskustelu myös videona: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p786xaHf_kM

The Most Distant Cosmic Laser Ever Found

Astronomers using South Africa's MeerKAT telescope have detected the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever observed, a natural cosmic laser emitted by a merging galaxy more than 8 billion light-years away. Amplified by gravitational lensing, the faint signal offers a rare glimpse into the chaotic conditions of the early universe and intense episodes of star formation. The breakthrough highlights the power of advanced data processing and paves the way for the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to uncover new insights into the evolution of galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the distant cosmos.

103 Miten innovaatiot muuttavat taistelukenttää?

Voivatko innovaatiot muuttaa sodan luonnetta? Innovaatiot eivät ole vain teknologioita tai järjestelmiä: ne ovat myös uusia tapoja ajatella, toimia ja johtaa. Tässä jaksossa tarkastellaan innovaatioiden merkitystä osana sotilaallista toimintaa. Mikä tekee innovaatiosta sotilaallisen? Mikä on Puolustusvoimien innovaatioyksikkö ja millainen rooli sillä on innovaatiotoiminnan edistämisessä? Jaksossa keskustellaan myös sotilaallisten innovaatioiden suojaamisesta, hyödyntämisestä ja niiden johtamisesta. Lisäksi pohditaan, mitkä teknologiat ja innovaatiot voivat vaikuttaa sodankäyntiin tulevina vuosikymmeninä, ja onko jokin innovaatioalue jopa ylihypetetty. Aiheesta keskustelevat sotatalouden professori Juha-Matti Lehtonen, Puolustusvoimien innovaatioyksikön johtaja, insinöörimajuri Ville Kuparinen Puolustusvoimien tutkimuslaitokselta sekä apulaissotilasprofessori, komentajakapteeni Samu Rautio Maanpuolustuskorkeakoulun sotatekniikan laitokselta. Jakso nauhoitettiin 28.4.2026. ______ Sotilaalliset innovaatiot on kolmiosainen podcastsarja, jossa tarkastellaan innovaatioita sotilaallisesta näkökulmasta: mitä sotilaalliset innovaatiot ovat ja miten niitä johdetaan? Miten Puolustusvoimat toteuttaa innovaatiotoimintaa? Millaiset teknologiat muokkaavat tulevaisuuden sodankäyntiä ja miltä sodankäynti voi näyttää 10–20 vuoden kuluttua?
