Discover how flowering plants took over and transformed life on this planet when they arrived 250 million years ago and why there’s no such thing as a “vegetable.” If you are what you eat, part of you is probably flowers. Hear more on this week's episode: buff.ly/COIOVqv

The DUNE project will create and fire neutrinos 800 miles from Fermilab in Illinois to a detector nearly a mile underground in South Dakota, where enormous liquid-argon tanks will capture rare argon-neutrino interactions, says physicist Kate Shaw buff.ly/M01THVj

Neutrinos change identity as they travel. They oscillate among three types—electron, muon, and tau neutrinos—and can even change back again. This behavior reveals that they have mass, contrary to the Standard Model prediction of zero mass. buff.ly/M01THVj

You never feel the trillions of neutrinos that pass through your body every second, but IceCube and DUNE detectors can record interactions between these particles. Those collisions may help us understand why anything in the universe exists at all buff.ly/M01THVj

Scientists are investigating neutrinos—ghostlike particles that change identity and have tiny masses—to understand why matter, rather than antimatter, dominated the universe after the Big Bang buff.ly/M01THVj

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, scientists fire particle beams that travel close to the speed of light in the hopes of creating new fundamental particles when they collide. In 2012, they reached a smashing success. Hear more "On a Collision Course" buff.ly/M01THVj

Scientists at CERN use tools like the Large Hadron Collider to not only understand what the world is made of, but also what happened in the early days of the universe that gave rise to the world as we know it today. This week, we're "On a Collision Course" buff.ly/M01THVj

The Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, has been shut down for upgrades. But scientific research continues at CERN. We look towards the future of particle physics in this week's episode buff.ly/M01THVj

Astrophysicists like Kimberly Palladino travel deep underground in the pursuit of dark matter. "If we could just figure out what it was, we'd know what kind of matter was holding the universe together." buff.ly/M01THVj

From a few minutes after the Big Bang to 10 billion years later, dark matter has shaped our universe. But it still presents many mysteries for the physicists who study it. Learn more on this week's episode buff.ly/M01THVj

There's five times more dark matter in our universe than regular matter. Yet, it can't be seen by telescopes. We only know about it through its gravitational effects. This week, we're "On a Collision Course" buff.ly/M01THVj

The Nobel Prize in Physics celebrates the study of cosmic neutrinos, but self-styled neutrino hunters aren’t content to wait for the leptons to naturally occur. This week, we’re "On a Collision Course" buff.ly/M01THVj

A new neutrino experiment may help reveal why matter, not antimatter, fills the universe and how we came to be. Have scientists finally glimpsed the primary component of nearly all matter: dark matter? That and more on this week's episode. buff.ly/M01THVj

New research shows that getting too little sun exposure can lead to higher rates of cardiovascular disease and many cancers. But taking in too much sun can lead to skin cancer. So just how many rays should we be soaking up? buff.ly/B78YFOB

After more than 30 years, the FDA has approved a new type of sunscreen filter that has been used in other countries for decades. We're breaking down the science of and clearing up misconceptions about chemical and mineral filters on this week's episode buff.ly/B78YFOB

On this week's episode, we're going beyond skin-deep on the effects of UV light on the body, and how sunlight might offer surprising health benefits as well as health risks. It's "Skeptic Check: Sunny Daze" buff.ly/B78YFOB

According to a survey put out by the American Academy of Dermatology, a significant portion of respondents reported stopping their use of sunscreen due to safety concerns they saw on social media. buff.ly/B78YFOB

In his latest book, "In Defense of Sunlight: The Surprising Science of Sun Exposure," author Rowan Jacobsen sheds light on what the latest research has to say about the health benefits of sunlight. He argues we may not always want to dive for the shade. buff.ly/B78YFOB

Skin cancer rates are on the rise. But new research suggests that avoiding the sun altogether carries its own health risks. So how do we get that goldilocks amount of sunlight? This week's episode is "Skeptic Check: Sunny Daze" buff.ly/B78YFOB

Chemical, mineral, UVA, UVB, SPF; we don't blame you if all the information on your sunscreen label has you in a daze. This week, we're diving into the science of sunblock. It's "Skeptic Check: Sunny Daze" buff.ly/B78YFOB
