The Physics of Pasta Cacio e Pepe

Episode 16

Monday, December 22, 2025 • Duration 41:17

Description: Who says phase transitions are only diagrams and critical lines? What if they could be understood through something as simple as making a smooth, cheesy sauce? In this episode, Ivan Di Terlizzi, from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex systems in Dresden, will tell us all about the physics of cheese in the classic Italian dish Pasta Cacio e Pepe. Don't miss this tasty and brainy episode!

How fast is ultrafast spectroscopy?

Episode 15

Monday, December 15, 2025 • Duration 28:36

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents us from pinpointing an electron in real time with arbitrary accuracy. What this means is that if we were to shine light on an electron and excite it, we would not be able to follow its trajectory precisely. And yet, recent years have witnessed the development of so-called ultrafast spectroscopic techniques which allows us to indirectly reconstruct a movie of the elections evolution within a molecule. Peter Puschnig, Professor at University of Graz, Austria, will lead us through this fascinating world of ultrafast spectroscopy to hopefully answer fundamental (and cool) questions about electronic motions in real time.

Neurodegenerative diseases

Episode 14

Tuesday, December 9, 2025 • Duration 25:17

Neurodegenerative diseases are disorders characterised by a gradual, yet steady, loss or death of neurons, the brain cells, a condition that eventually leads to decline in motor and cognitive functions. Despite our best efforts, some aspects of these diseases are still obscure. Rina Demjaha is a medical doctor and a PhD candidate at the Medical University in Graz, Austria. With her we will explore some of the experimental techniques which are used to identify so-called biomarkers which could lead to an early diagnosis of such diseases.

Do metals and polymers get along well?

Episode 13

Monday, December 1, 2025 • Duration 25:22

Johanna Byloff is a PhD candidate at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. In this episode, she will talk about experimental techniques to stick together metals and polymers to obtain flexible, yet resistant, compounds which find applications in electronics, from smartphones to telescopes in orbit around Earth.

Solar physics

Episode 12

Monday, August 11, 2025 • Duration 38:35

How does a star like our Sun actually work? What fuels this giant ball of gas—and how does it change over time? And where do the elements of the periodic table really come from?
In this episode, we explore these cosmic questions with our guest, Professor Alexander Shapiro from the University of Graz.

Biophysics

Episode 11

Monday, July 28, 2025 • Duration 34:50

What is biophysics? What does it study, and why is it so difficult to apply physics to predict the behavior of living organisms? Professor Douwe Bonthuis from Graz University of Technology takes us on a journey through the fascinating, yet complex, world of biophysics.

Plasma physics

Episode 10

Monday, July 14, 2025 • Duration 24:13

What if we told you there is a fourth state of matter all around us—one that powers neon signs, lights up the aurora and fuels fusion reactors? Christopher Albert, from Graz University of Technology, will help us unravel the mysteries of plasma: why it is so hard to tame, where it hides in nature, and how mastering it could revolutionize the way we think of energy.

Space and satellite communication

Episode 9

Monday, June 30, 2025 • Duration 26:52

Have you ever heard about Guglielmo Marconi? Ever wondered how we can communicate with satellites in orbit around Earth efficiently? And also, how many satellites are "up there"? These is just a short selection of the questions we ask in this episode. With us to discuss about "Space and satellite communication", Mirela Fetescu, researcher and engineer at Joanneum Research, in Graz.

Laser spectroscopy

Episode 8

Monday, April 7, 2025 • Duration 28:07

What is matter made of? If we could zoom in to unimaginably small scales, we’d see atoms and gases teeming with electrons in constant motion. Laser spectroscopy is one of the powerful tools scientists use to explore this microscopic world. Birgitta Schulze-Bernhardt will guide us through what we can uncover about the infinitesimally small and how this knowledge impacts the view of the world we live in.

Philosophy and Physics - Part 2

Episode 7

Monday, March 24, 2025 • Duration 24:00

What does one mean by philosophy of physics? How can philosophy help us understand the physical world? In particular, when it comes to quantum mechanics, human intuition seems to break down. Is the wave function real, or is it just a construct we use to make sense of experiments? Is reality truly based on probabilities? In this episode we continue our journey into the relationship between philosophy and physics with Axel Maas and Philip Berghofer from University of Graz. The first part of our conversation with them can be found at episode "Philosophy and Physics - Part 1"
