Nanotechnology may seem like something from a sci-fi movie plot, but it’s a very real thing and has likely affected many areas of your life, whether you realise it, or not.
Nanotechnology looks at dimension and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers. For context, hair follicles or a sheet of paper are 100,000 nanometers thick. So, pretty small…
But what is it? How are scientists changing our lives with it? And why was King Charles III famously afraid of it?
Dallas Campbell is joined by nanochemist Suze Kundu to find out more.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبIf you can never connect to a printer, if furniture jumps out to stub your toe, if when you do the dishes the water jumps out the sink to soak you - then you are victim of the inanimate malice of things. The belief that all things are essentially out to get us us has a name - Resistentialism. This is a theory created by columnist Paul Jennings. On one level it's clearly a joke, on another level though he was convinced of its truth. Dallas, a man who has spent a lifetime celebrating tech, agrees. Paul's daughter joined Dallas to help explain her father's theory about the spiteful behaviour of inanimate objects. Les choses sont contre nous. Produced by Charlotte Long and Freddy Chick.

400 years ago on the River Thames a mad genius showed off the world's first submarine. A crowd of thousands including King James watched as Cornelis Drebbel disappeared beneath the murky water, only reemerging after three whole hours had passed. The same genius also came up with perpetual motion machines, self-regulating ovens, chemical air conditioning for Westminster Cathedral, and a project to provide central heating for all of London by building a perpetual fire on a hill outside the city, transporting the flames in pipes to people's houses. Elon Musk eat your heart out.

31:25 التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احب31:25
التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبIn 1950, a new word ‘brainwashing’ entered the English language. From the paranoia of the Cold War a new type of Evil Scientist had emerged — the Mind Controller. But was there any truth to the fear? In the 1950s the CIA went to an eminent psychology Donald Hebb and asked him to investigate the possibility. His idea was to test what happened to the brain when it is starved of everything that anchors it to reality. Of anything to see, to listen to, to touch or smell. With nothing to hold onto, will the mind drift loose? Could it be reprogrammed? Dallas's guest today is Charlie Williams, a researcher at Queen Mary University in London who explores the history of brainwashing in the Cold War. Produced by Alex Carlon and Freddy Chick.

He was also a Nazi member who served in the SS, and developed the lethal V-2 rocket bomb. He helped America progress in the Cold War, but he also helped Hitler attack his enemies, and as many as 20,000 concentration camp prisoners died assembling his missile invention. Von Braun was able to manipulate the Nazi regime to serve his own agenda, but what was his intention...was he evil? Today Dallas unpicks the Nazi space engineer's life and legacy with Annie Jacobsen.

1 Oppenheimer: Inventor of the Atomic Bomb 40:35

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبRobert Oppenheimer was the father of the atomic bomb - a weapon of unprecedented power, which, when dropped on Japan, would end WWII and would change the course of history. While some perceived the bomb as inhumane and other’s perceived it as necessary to end the war, we did manage to come to the conclusion that a ban on nuclear weapons was necessary due to the unacceptable humanitarian consequences of its use. Teller had been part of Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project. But from the early days he had been drawn to the idea of developing a Hydrogen Bomb, and was desperate to make one. He would go on to crack the science of making one and become known as the ‘Father of the Hydrogen Bomb’. Although Oppenheimer was the ‘father of the Atomic Bomb’, he was vehemently opposed to the development of this new weapon. Who was right about the ethics of the Hydrogen Bomb; Oppenheimer or Teller? Professor Gregg Herken who specialised in modern American diplomatic History at the University of California joins me to get to the bottom of that question.
