Bigger bangs at CERN; Last winter's deep cold; Invisibility cloaks.

Quentin Cooper looks into bigger bangs at CERN, last winter's deep cold and invisibility cloaks.

Quentin Cooper presents his weekly digest of science in and behind the headlines. He talks to the scientists who are publishing their research in peer reviewed journals, and he discusses how that research is scrutinised and used by the scientific community, the media and the public. The programme also reflects how science affects our daily lives; from predicting natural disasters to the latest advances in cutting edge science like nanotechnology and stem cell research. 

Bigger bangs at CERN; What made last winter so cold? Invisibility cloaks come closer.

Producer: Roland Pease.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
