  • Space and satellite communication

    Space and satellite communication
    Jun 30 2025
    Have you ever heard about Guglielmo Marconi? Ever wondered how we can communicate with satellites in orbit around Earth efficiently? And also, how many satellites are "up there"? These is just a short selection of the questions we ask in this episode. With us to discuss about "Space and satellite communication", Mirela Fetescu, researcher and engineer at Joanneum Research, in Graz.

  • Laser spectroscopy

    Laser spectroscopy
    Apr 7 2025
    What is matter made of? If we could zoom in to unimaginably small scales, we’d see atoms and gases teeming with electrons in constant motion. Laser spectroscopy is one of the powerful tools scientists use to explore this microscopic world. Birgitta Schulze-Bernhardt will guide us through what we can uncover about the infinitesimally small and how this knowledge impacts the view of the world we live in.

  • Philosophy and Physics - Part 2

    Philosophy and Physics - Part 2
    Mar 24 2025
    What does one mean by philosophy of physics? How can philosophy help us understand the physical world? In particular, when it comes to quantum mechanics, human intuition seems to break down. Is the wave function real, or is it just a construct we use to make sense of experiments? Is reality truly based on probabilities? In this episode we continue our journey into the relationship between philosophy and physics with Axel Maas and Philip Berghofer from University of Graz. The first part of our conversation with them can be found at episode "Philosophy and Physics - Part 1"
