Science and U is back! Dr. Weiping Yu starts by commenting on the Hubble telescope revealing new aspects of dark matter. What exactly is dark matter? Dr. Yu has a radical and startling explanation. What is ‘space’ and ‘matter?’ Is there a possibility of life on Venus? Listen to the entire episode to find out. […]
Is the universe too thin as cosmologists claim? What is the mystery behind the quirky response to magnetism in quantum physics? Where do the enormous magnetic fields that permeate our universe come from? Join Dr. Weiping Yu as he answers these questions while commenting on some of the latest science news from around the world. […]
Dr. Weiping Yu returns to the show to comment on the surprising news of two black holes colliding. Is there credible evidence that this collision took place? The physicist also comments on the discovery of Lunar Hematite, the finding that molecule found in bee venom can beat breast cancer, and more. Jeff Deist of the Mises […]
David Gornoski starts off the show by analyzing how the two parties in America, Republican and Democratic, are mirrors of each other. “The more the two parties compete for power, the more they look the same.” What can we do to escape this mirroring that happens far too often in politics? Listen to the full […]
“Mysterious gamma-ray ‘heartbeat’ detected from cosmic gas cloud.” This is the recent headline running on science news outlets. What could this mean? Physicist Dr. Weiping Yu calls in to offer his startling insights on this story as well as the validity of black hole reports, astronomers spotting a space rock turning into a comet, and […]
Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another Science and U segment and this time he talks about the discovery of new taste cells in mice. How significant is this? Could vibrating particles have anything to do with guiding our brain towards certain things? The physicist also comments on a new low-cost energy source for nighttime […]
Our Chief Science Advisor, Dr. Weiping Yu, joins the show to comment on the outcome of a research involving silk scaffolds and magnetism that resulted in a new composite material useful for regenerating bone tissue. The physicist says that he predicted a long time ago which the research has now proved, that “magnetic stimulus exerts […]
On today’s segment of Science and U, Dr. Weiping Yu returns to comment on the breakthrough new study by scientists and engineers at the University of Minnesota that have electrically transformed non-magnetic “fool’s gold” into magnetic material. The physicist also comments on the recent experiment which captured an X-shaped magnetic field in the NGC 4217 […]
Dr. Weiping Yu, the show’s chief science officer, returns to comment on the news that the army is building an anti-gravity, water-purifying solar panel. What does Dr. Yu think about the discovery of new planets circling faraway suns? Does magnetism decay over time? Listen to the full podcast as Dr. Yu tackles the latest science […]
Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another segment of Science and U. The physicist offers his insights on LHCb’s discovery of a new class of particles. If every elementary particle has already been discovered, why are we still trying to discover new particles? Dr. Yu asks. How many types of particles are there? Plus, what […]
