Als Stephen Hawking in den frühen 1960er Jahren mit seiner Forschung begann, war sein Fach, die Kosmologie, eine verschlafene Disziplin, die über Jahrzehnte keine wesentlichen Fortschritte erlebt hatte. Als er 2018 starb, war es das wohl aufregendste Forschungsgebiet der Physik, das einen Nobelpreis nach dem anderen einheimst. Und Stephen Hawking galt weithin als der beste Physiker der Welt, wenn nicht sogar als der klügste Mensch. Der Wissenschaftsjournalist Charles Seife zeigt, wie es dazu kam.

Friends of long standing as well as regular partners in chamber music, Michael Collins and Stephen Hough bring their combined musical insights and expertise to bear on Johannes Brahms’s sonatas for clarinet and piano. Together with the composer’s trio for clarinet, cello and piano and clarinet quintet, the sonatas are among the most treasured works in the repertoire of the instrument – but it is partly down to good luck that we have them at all.

Cylene Suisse Redux documents François J. Bonnet and Stephen O'Malley's Switzerland tour in December 2019, following the release of their first album, Cylene. The two musicians chose to entrust sound material recorded on the tour to the expert ears of two friends and great musicians Jim O'Rourke and Ryoji Ikeda, giving them carte blanche, and each in turn chose a distinct personal approach.

Physicist Stephen Hawking explores the subject of stem cells and their capabilities, including body-part regeneration and antiaging effects.

The use of embryonic stem cells has ignited fierce debate across the spiritual and political spectrum. But what if we could create manmade stem cells - or find super cells in adults that could forever replace embryonic cells and remove the controversy? Today, we are on the brink of a new era - an age where we may be able to cure our bodies of any illness.

Live archive release. Fourteen tracks from Stephen Still's First U.S. Tour, previously unissued and recorded Live at The Berkeley Community Theater in 1971. In 1971 Stephen Stills embarked on a U.S. tour, opening each show with an intimate acoustic first set, and closing each night with a riveting electric set featuring the Memphis Horns. These historic, previously unreleased recordings took place over two nights at the Berkeley Community Theater, with David Crosby joining him on vocals and guitar for "You Don't Have To Cry" and "The Lee Shore." These recordings find Stills at peak performance in both vocal delivery and musicianship, effortlessly incorporating alternate instrumentation on his instantly recognizable tracks, including a seamless medley of "49 Bye Byes" and "For What It's Worth" unexpectedly played on piano.
