Science and the law come in to conflict more often than you might think. In this episode I want to tell you about several cases that I have followed which have concerned me greatly. The issue here isn't the actual scientific evidence, it is rather the way that scientists pursue and discuss this evidence, usually in a straight-forward and frank manner that doesn't sit well with courts.

What if we could harness the power of photons to process information? We can! It's called photonic computing. It's one of the new approaches to quantum computing - and it's looking more and more likely that it could be the key to make quantum computers work.
It's not the only newcomer. In this video, we'll take a look at photonic computing and two other newcomers: optical tweezers and topological quantum computing. Maybe the breakthrough for quantum tech is just around the corner.

A lot of scientists make jokes about people who do their own research. I want you to know, that itβs utterly okay to do your own research --- provided you do it right. But how do you do that? I have collected some tips that I hope you will find helpful.

It's in the headlines everywhere that the world is going through a mental health crisis. Though, when you take a closer look, most headlines are about the United States. Is there a global mental health crisis? Or is it an American problem? That's what we talk about today.

In the past 10 years or so, tech specialists have repeatedly voiced concerns that the progress of computing power will soon hit the wall. Miniaturisation has physical limits, and then what? Have we reached these limits? Is Mooreβs law dead? Thatβs what weβll talk about today.

Correction to what I say at 14:22 -- The KATRIN experiment does not look for neutrinoless double beta decay, it's trying to measure the absolute neutrino masses. There are several other experiments looking for neutrinoless double beta decay. Sorry about that mixup!
Some physicists are claiming that there is something "wrong" with our understanding of the universe. Oftentimes, it's just to justify asking for funding for new experiments, a better detector, a new telescope, a bigger collider, but what if there's something more than that? Do we have evidence of new physics? Or not? In this video, we will look at dark matter and dark energy, quantum gravity, the mass of the Higgs-boson, neutrino masses, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry.

Many companies try to appear environmentally friendly without making a real difference, a strategy thatβs been dubbed βgreenwashingβ. So, is calling a product or service βeco-friendlyβ just a ploy of companies to get more money out of us? What are the consequences for climate change? And how can we spot those fake claims? Thatβs what weβll talk about today.
