Join the Hyperthesis team as we return to an episode without a special guest to discuss some interesting scientific phenomena. We begin the episode with a discussion around squeaking or barking sand and how little is known about how this phenomena happens. If you're interested in funding research about this, please let us know! Our main topic today focuses on the field of spectroscopy and how light interacts with matter. Spectroscopy is applied ubiquitously throughout various fields of science. It is an extremely useful method to probe properties of matter. We discuss the principles behind spectroscopy, and we explore its many applications. We end our episode with the story of the life of Lord Rayleigh who discovered the mechanism that explains why the sky is blue.

Welcome to episode 97 of the Hyperthesis where we discuss all things dark matter and physics education with Jon Clarke. Jon Clarke is a PhD student at Queen's University where he is working with the NEWS-G dark matter detector, analyzing data from the latest experimental runs. Before starting his PhD, Jon taught high school physics in the UK before providing training for a total of 300 high school physics teachers. Before we delve into Jon's work, the introduction topic touches on some new findings from the Euclid Dark Matter space telescope. Patrick ends the episode with a story about Vera Rubin, whose research is a foundation of dark matter research.

Join us for this episode of the Hyperthesis as we delve into the world of the body and the small with our guest, Dr. Matt Campea. Currently working as a Scientific Specialist with Cytiva, we delve into his current work on customizable nanoparticles and previous research on drug-loaded nanoparticles. This includes developing improved methods to help with cancers, schizophrenia, and other challenging diseases. Before then, Liam discusses a new technique for drug delivery using injectable drug-containing gels whose release can be controlled through shape and composition instead of more invasive methods. Patrick ends the episode with the story about a history of people making small things.

Find Matt on various social media, and message him on Instagram.
