Podcast: Space sounds, climate kitchen and landscapes through time

In this edition: Making the magnetosphere audible, climate-friendly cooking, and exploring the Earth's deep past. News: Life-like lasers and capturing carbon – We find out how much carbon dioxide has been removed from the atmosphere and stored since 1996 and discover how new 'life-like' lasers could enhance smart displays, novel lighting, and future computing. Space sounds – Researchers can detect the way magnetic fields interact in space around the Earth, but the data can be quite abstract for people to understand. We meet Dr Martin Archer , who led a project to make the data audible , allowing people to hear space as never before and contribute to science. Climate kitchen – Dr Charlotte Vrinten explains how people can eat a more climate-friendly diet, including eating more plant-based foods and reducing food waste. Landscapes through time – As part of a series on the people behind our world-leading research, we meet Professor Sanjeev Gupta , who reconstructs landscapes through time, revealing everything from the catastrophic floods that separated Britain and France and what environmental conditions supported the ancient Indus civilisation .
