Cosmic rays and the origins and meaning of these high-energy astro particles, had two American, Nobel Prize-winning physicists embroiled in a major debate, some may even say battle. Mark Wolverton tells the story of the scientific feud between physicists Robert Millikan and Arthur Compton over the nature of cosmic rays in his new book, “Splinters of Infinity, Cosmic Rays and the Clash of Two Nobel Prize-Winning Scientists over the Secrets of Creation.”

Shawn Shan, project leader of The Glaze Project at the University of Chicago discusses the research effort that develops technical tools with the explicit goal of protecting human creatives against invasive uses of generative artificial intelligence, and talks about their program helping to protect human generated art from AI.

Parkite and CEO of TRS Group, Brett Trowbridge, tells how they use scientific innovation to clean up containments in the soil through thermal remediation. These are “forever chemical” contaminants that can be cleaned up at the site instead of being hauled away.

Lee Billings, senior editor of "Scientific American" magazine, talks about the many fascinating elements of space: from solar storms, to space junk, and even to the possibility of a new planet.

Thanks to research being done through the Swanson Group at the University of Utah, biological methods for removing excess methane from the atmosphere are being created.

Every summer groups of senior-year geology students ascend to Utah and Wyoming to attend Camp Davis. There they can see and study, firsthand, the landscapes, formations and geology that they have only seen in books.

Professor Jeff Karp, who teaches biomedical engineering at Harvard Medical School and MIT, talks about the brain's neuroplasticity and how he adapted his brain to tackle his early learning disabilities and ADHD. He shares how you can too.

Biomedical engineer and blunt trauma specialist, Rachel Lance, explores how a team of scientists during World War II made science history by discovering how to breathe underwater, a crucial element in an eventual victory for Allied forces.

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations monitor earthquakes in Utah and the surrounding states. With this data, scientists at the university are able to develop a better understanding of earthquakes in our area. This can then help reduce the risk from earthquakes in Utah thanks to their research, education, and public service.

Traditional computers in the western world, and the programming of them were built around the standard QWERTY keyboard with letters. But how to you build a computer system when the language has tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet? Thomas Mullaney shares the challenges and triumphs of such an endeavor is his new book, “The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age."
