Big Picture Science - Seth's Wine Cellar

There are always surprises when we sort through Seth’s wine cellar – who knows what we’ll find!

In this cramped cavern, tucked between boxes of old fuses and a priceless bottle of 1961 Chateau Palmer Margaux, we discover the next generation of atomic clock … the key to how solar storms disrupt your cell phone … nano-gold particles that could make gasoline obsolete … and what NASA’s Kepler spacecraft has learned about how our solar system stacks up to others.

Tune in, find out and, help us lift these boxes, will you?

Guests:
  • Chris Sorensen – Physicist, Kansas State University
  • Anne Curtis – Senior research scientist, National Physical Laboratory, U.K.
  • Jonathan Eisen – Evolutionary biologist, University of California, Davis
  • Karel Schrijver – Solar physicist, Lockheed Martin, Advanced Technology Center
