Dark matter discovery & elevated El Niño (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Chris digs into a curious signal in the hunt for dark matter that may be a sign of a new particle responsible for 85% of the matter of the universe; and Linden and Kate breeze through the current record-breaking El Niño event, and what it may or may not mean for global and local climate and weather.
Ig Nobels 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chris, Stu and Linden discuss the winners of this year's Ig Nobel prizes, from simultaneously soiled underpants to milky cockroaches. This is the 36th year of the awards celebrating science that make you laugh, then make you think.
The Missing Middle and the 2026 Eureka prizes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stu talks to Nicola Sockhill about her research into urban vegetation, and how only planting grass and trees might not be the best use of space as far as planting for people; and biodiversity and we discuss some of the stand-out winners of the 2026 Eureka prizes awarded earlier this month.
Fighting felines and Flipper fishing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Chris talks to Dr Julia Henning from Adelaide University about how bad humans are at understanding cat behaviour, particularly knowing the difference between play-fighting and wanting to be left alone; and Naina talks to the team about a new observation of bottlenose dolphins in Queensland using shells as tools to catch fish.
Historic Eclipses and Volcanoes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lost in Science is made at the studios of 3CR in Melbourne who turn 50 this year. We uncovered archival material of the station covering an eclipse of the sun in 1976 from the Grampians in Victoria. Kate Bongiovanni tells us about some amazing volcano history, including some inventions that are not immediately obvious connected to eruptions.
