Change. Clearly it is a popular policy by the public and heading up to the next election it would be a strange decision for the government to row back on anything with public support. Can the government have it both ways, say yes to granting licences for oil and gasp projects but at the same time it commitments to net zero . New licences for the north sea is not a change in Government Policy, we were expecting to see more. The oil and industrys estimates show production will continue to decline ...

This week, we are going atomic at the European Organization for nuclear research, cern. We will look at the cutting edge Cancer Treatments that are foxing the physicists. I find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. So, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. How does science become fiction . We will meet an author looking for disaster. We want conflict. We want to see things falling apart. That is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. An...

Famous centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting edge. 2500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. Here at cern it is a really unique community. It is an International Group of people, so we are from all over the world. Cern is an...

This is to give what we call tele presence, so the operator has a more intuitive way of controlling and interacting with the robot. so here youre looking at the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot. this could be where the future of cern is going, to build a new accelerator that will be 100 kilometres in circumference. in that sort of accelerator environment, robots will be really important — both as tools you can use for inspection, maintenance and repair, but also as first responders...

Regularly for inspection, maintenance and repair tasks in the accelerator complex. it has these meccano wheels so that it can move side to side easily. so, we might send robots to an area where a human might not want to go either due to risk of some oxygen depletion or some gas leaks or even if there is presence of radiation. it has got lots of different sensors on it. mostly we use cameras. this is to give what we call tele—presence so the operator has a more intuitive way of controlling and ...

At the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot. this could be where the future of cern is going — to build a new accelerator 100 kilometres in circumference, and in that accelerator environment, robots will be really important both as tools you can use for inspection, maintenance and repair, but also as first responders. this is a novel robotic system we are building that will inspect the inside of radio frequency cavities that give acceleration to the beam, and it is really important tha...
