For decades, biologists have read and edited DNA, the code of life. Revolutionary developments are giving scientists the power to write it. Instead of tinkering with existing life forms, synthetic biologists may be on the verge of writing the DNA of a living organism from scratch. In the next decade, according to some, we may even see the first synthetic human genome. Join a distinguished group of synthetic biologists, geneticists and bioengineers who are edging closer to breathing life into matter.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Black holes are gravitational behemoths that dramatically twist space and time. Recently, they’ve also pointed researchers to a remarkable proposal—that everything we see may be akin to a hologram. Alan Alda joins Kip Thorne, Robbert Dijkgraaf and other renowned researchers on an odyssey through one of nature’s most spectacular creations, and learn how they are leading scientists to rewrite the rules of reality.

The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

Electromagnetism Explained.

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.

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.
