In the next 100 years or so, we will run out of fossil fuels. In this film, Nobel laureates Mario Molina and Robert Laughlin challenge three young physicists to think seriously about the energy endgame and their children’s futures. Molina believes
The Hubble Space Telescope has shown us distant galaxies and planets orbiting other stars, deepening our knowledge of the Universe. Nobel prizewinner John Mather works on Hubble’s replacement, the James Webb Space Telescope. He believes we are in a golden age of astronomy. But the young researchers he meets are not convinced. There are
> The Nobel laureates and young researchers who met in Lindau this summer came from all over the world, but they had one thing in common: physics. We filmed five debates on issues that matter to the current generation of researchers. Is dark matter real? How can we solve
Tantalizing glimpses of the Higgs boson have been spotted at CERN. This elusive particle is the last piece of the Standard Model to be confirmed. While at the Lindau meeting, physics Nobel laureates give Nature their views.
Ghada Bassioni of Cairo, Egypt takes on the question of women in “the man’s world” of science. Ghada shows how women are breaking gender stereotypes in Egypt, and gets ideas on women in science from Lindau researchers, Germany’s federal education minister Annette Schavan, and the Countess Bernadotte at Lindau.
In his Lindau Video Diary, India’s P.H. Reddy shows fellow American and Chinese researchers at Lindau around his lab in India, and interviews leading scientists at Hyderabad University about what they believe science and research could and has achieved in developing countries.
Young researchers and Nobel Laureates are trained to deal in complexity inside the world of science. But what responsibility do scientists and researchers have to explain what they are working on, and what they believe in to people outside science? Do scientists, as members of the society, have an obligation
The news that scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN have discovered a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson, which may explain how matter attains its mass, excited and energized the Laureates
Germany’s Video Diarist Pascal Niebecker wanted to learn more about enhancing his research, and about leading a life in science at Lindau. In his Video Diary, Pascal talks
In his Lindau Video Diary, Albert Juma of Kenya has shared his experiences about the differences between doing science and research in a developing, and in a developed country, and asks some of the participants at the Lindau Meeting about their views on the subject.
“I expect to exchange ideas and perspectives on the most relevant and innovative research in my field.” The USA’s Casey Schwarz, one of this year’s Lindau Nobel Video Diarists, talks about what she hopes to experience at the 62nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Physics).
The University of Central Florida nominated Video Diarist Casey Schwartz to attend the 62nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Physics). Dr. Elena Flitsiyan of the Department of Physics explains why the interaction between generations of scientists at the Lindau Nobel meeting is important for the University of Central Florida and for young researchers like Casey.
