Imagine navigating the globe with a map that only sketched out the continents. That’s pretty much how neuroscientists have been operating for decades. But one of the most ambitious programs in all of neuroscience, the Human Connectome Project, has just yielded a “network map” that is shedding light on the intricate connectivity in the brain. Join leading neuroscientists and psychologists as they explore how the connectome promises to revolutionize treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders, answer profound questions regarding the electrochemical roots of memory and behavior, and clarify the link between our upbringing and brain development.

A second doesn't always feel like a second—time can seem to slow down if you're riding a death-defying roller coaster, or speed up while you're having a night out on the town. But just what's going on inside our heads to skew our perception of time? Neuroscientists Lila Davachi, Dean Buonomano, David Eagleman, and Kia Nobre discuss findings from the latest scientific investigations into the intricacies of our internal clocks in "The Deceptive Watchman," a program in the Big Ideas series at the 2014 World Science Festival.

The Nature of Quantum Reality and Why We Should Care

Prof Jim Al-Khalili, Professor of Theoretical Physics and the Public Engagement in Science, University of Surrey.

The Appleton Space Conference is an annual space industry event hosted by STFC RAL Space to celebrate the latest advancements in space science, Earth observation and technology development.

The 16th Appleton Space Conference, RAL Space's first virtual event, took place on 3rd December 2020. Scientists, engineers and leading figures from the UK Space Agency, the European Space Agency, NASA, academia and the global space industry shared updates on space exploration, advances in satellite technology, testing for space, climate change monitoring, space law as well as improving equality, diversity and inclusion across the space sector.

RAL Space is part of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). STFC is part of UK Research and Innovation.

⁣Astrobiology | The Universe

This BBC science documentary on the secrets of light and energy quantum physics, highlights the formation, transference and storage of energy as well as how light is reflected and "created".

Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.

Electromagnetic Spectrum , a science documentary explaning forms of lightThe visible light that we see is just a small part of the actual light emitted throughout the universe. Through the combination of electrical and magnetic fields, light energy is produced. Nothing in the universe moves faster than the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second, or 670,000,000 miles per hour. Light travels in different wavelengths. The portion of light we see, referred to as visible light, shows up as the colors of the rainbow. These are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The other types of light in the spectrum, or the invisible light, are radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray. In this order, radio waves have the longest wavelength, while gamma rays have the shortest.Since all matter emits light, we can use infrared telescopes to see stars and dust in space that we would otherwise be unable to see. And by viewing the color of the star, we can gauge its distance and its temperature.

Following on from the multiple award-winning "Limits of Perception" and "Time Limits", this is the third and final part of the trilogy of films that explores the limits of our everyday perceptions and beyond, showing that the world is a far more remarkable place than most of us ever realise. Humans are visual creatures -- sight is our main sense. Yet our eyes often deceive us in peculiar ways. There is far more to light than meets the eye. This fascinating documentary explores the human's visible spectrum of light and ventures even further into territories we cannot sense by ourselves without technical equipment: from coloured light to gamma rays, that could destroy all life on Earth, as well as radio waves, without which our modern society would be impossible. The film also follows the great pioneers, from Newton and Einstein, to Herschel and Roentgen, whose genius uncovered the marvels of the electro-magnetic spectrum and took us far beyond the limits of light.
