  Episode 38: Reinhard Genzel (Nobel Prize in Physics): Measuring molecules, the universe, and our place in this world

  Sep 12, 202626 minS2

  <p>(German episode) Reinhard Genzel won the Nobel Prize in 2020 for the discovery of Sagittarius A*, the black hole in the center of our galaxy. Reinhard shares a story of becoming scientist and his work Charles Towns, the godfather of lasers and masers. The first laser is now still exhibited at the Max Planck Institutes in Garching (by Munich, Germany). Reinhard is one group leader there and uses infrared and submillimeter astronomy to investigate the universe. With us in this episode, Reinhard investigates not only questions about the universe but also political questions about the current U.S. and our...

  Episode 37: Mario R. Capecchi (Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology): The first knockout-mice and anxiety in pigs

  Sep 5, 202616 minS2

  <p>Mario R. Capecchi won the Nobel Prize in 2007 for his work on the first knockout mice. Today, we widely take knockout mice and his methods for gene targeting for granted. They have become the standard for functional genetics and preclinical assessments. In this episode, Mario shares his view on giving the brain something to do. We talk about his early work on protein translation of viruses, about mice, and about HOX genes and their relationship to - soon - giving anxiety to pigs. </p><p>Link to one favorite paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2021.10.007 </p><p>Photographs on t...

  Episode 36: Klaus Blaum & Erproben einer fünften Kraft mit feinen Kernmessungen

  Aug 23, 202612 minS2

  <p>Klaus Blaum ist Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg. Seine Arbeitsgruppe hält Rekorde in den präzisesten Messungen von Kernmassen und der Elektronenmasse. In dieser Episode stellt uns Klaus zwei Publikationen vor, welche die Grenzen des Standardmodells austesten. Kombiniert man präzise bekannte Isotopenmassen mit genau gemessenen Frequenzverschiebungen eines bestimmten elektronischen Übergangs zwischen zwei Isotopen, lässt sich ein sogenannter King-Plot erstellen. Für Calcium und Ytterbium wurden dabei signifikante Abweichungen vom erwarteten linearen Zusammenhang gefunden. Diese Nichtlinearitäten konnte das Team um Blaum auf kleinste Deformationen der Atomkerne zurückführen, sowie auf einen möglichen zwe...

  Episode 35: Samuele Piccinelli & Quantum computing for a molecule with half-Möbius topology

  Jun 14, 202615 minS2

  <p>Today, we talk about the algorithm and quantum chemical calculations behind the molecule with half-Möbius topology as Part 2 (for Part 1, see last episode). Samuele Piccinelli - PhD student at EPFL and IBM Zurich - discusses with us his path into physics and his intuition on quantum algorithmic design. He introduced SqDRIFT, the algorithm used to probe the unique electronic structure of the half-Möbius molecule, and shares his general notions on computational quantum chemistry and the possible directions of future advancements in the field.</p><p><br></p><p>Science (2026): A molecule with half-Möbius topology</p><p>Lin...

  Episode 34: Igor Rončević & A molecule with half-Möbius topology

  May 31, 202629 minS2

  <p>Recently, a molecule with new electronic structure was constructed, atom-by-atom using atomic force methodology. Igor Rončević is the first author behind this recent Science paper and shares with us how the molecule's electronic properties can be understood, what Möbius and half-Möbius topology mean, why the molecule bends, and how he can actually flip between topologies of the molecule. It is a very interesting and kind conversation for every chemists and physicists to listen into :) </p><p><br></p><p>Science (2026): A molecule with half-Möbius topology</p><p>Link to the paper: ⁠https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aea3321
