In this episode we chat with Juhani Huovelin, who is a University Lecturer at the University of Helsinki and also the Principal Investigator of the Solar Intensity X-ray and particle Spectrometer (SIXS) instrument onboard the BepiColombo spacecraft.
In this episode we chat with David Weir, who is a University Researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He looks at gravitational waves from processes in the early Universe.
In this episode, we are on a field trip at the International Conference of Physics Students 2018 and chat with some of the participants!
Since the early 20th century, astronomy has been evolving far beyond the optical telescope. While powerful optical telescopes are still very much a viable tool for astronomers, astronomical scientists are relying on new technologies, such as radio interferometry, to look deeper into space. Interferometry combines the results of several radio telescopes situated around the world to create a much bigger astronomical picture as if taken by a single telescope the size of Earth. In this TSB conversation, Joni Tammi, the director of Metsähovi Radio Observatory, discusses the evolution of imaging technologies in astronomy.
In this episode, we talk with Andrew House about his research on fat composition in young species of Atlantic Salmon.
In this episode, we talk with Shibani Ratnayake about her research on stem cells (unspecialised cells that are in our body) and in particular on how growing stem cells is evolving into an automatised process.
In this episode, we talk with Lubna Dada about her research on aerosols (solid particles or liquid droplets in the air) and air quality, discussing also various causes of air pollution.
In this episode, we talk with Minna Myllys about her research on cometary plasma environment. She uses data from the Rosetta spacecraft to study the plasma around comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
In this episode, we talk with Alexander Meaney about inverse problems. His research focuses on improving the current techniques in reconstructing 3D images from 2D X-Ray screenings, which has a very important application in medicine in order to expose patients to less radiation.
In this episode, we talk with Juan Landoni about mitochondrial diseases. They start from the mitochondria that are inside our cells and there is still much effort to be put into understanding them and curing them.
