Ribosomes are the stars of this show, as we chat to two scientists awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry for figuring out their structure, and find out how they're being reprogrammed to use artificial amino acids. Plus: polymer-based solar cells, nanoparticle assembly, and a round-up of...

In this episode, host Mark Peplow talks to the scientists behind mini DNA 'circuit boards', protein sensing with gold nanoparticles, and measuring what happens when you rip an electron from its molecule. Plus, reporter Katharine Sanderson looks into the best way to store hydrogen if you want to...

On this episode, hear how mass spectrometry is helping to identify particular assemblies of proteins that could be responsible for Alzheimer's, find out how to synthesise terpenes in a new way, and discover carbon behaving like a metal, and metals behaving like carbon. Plus, the debate over...
