Everyone knows there's a strong link between sci-fi and technology. But science fiction movies can also provide powerful insights into how to innovation ethically and responsibly. This week's video draws on author, scientist and Risk Bites producer Andrew Maynard's book "Films from the Future: The
As a British person, I feel like I talk about the weather a lot. We may be living in the modern age, but weather still affects our day to day life. If it rains, we will get wet, if it freezes, there is a good chance we could too. As animals, the weather can control us…but can we control it? Click h
Full steam ahead for maritime flue gas desulfurization: Operated by shipping company Carl Büttner GmbH & Co. KG from Bremen, the ocean tanker M/T Aurelia was fitted out with a new flue gas desulfurization system supplied by Bilfinger Engineering & Technologies GmbH. This technology uses an absorptio
Looking for a fun Halloween science experiment, why not use a balloon and a tissue to make a spooky ghost dance thanks to the power of static electricity. Presented by Kitchen Science Cookbook author Dr Michelle Dickinson, this simple experiment is one of many from The Kitchen Science Cookbook - a
A video from Waterpedia on #TechTuesday about Controlling Mosquitoes using Nuclear Technology. A new method to separate male and female mosquitoes could be a major step towards using the nuclear-based sterile insect technique (SIT) to control the mosquitoes transmitting Zika, dengue and chikungunya

Discover how scientists plan to use data from the GRAIL mission and a map of the Moon's gravitational field to learn about its internal structure. By comparing data about the Moon's gravity with information about its topography, scientists can gain a better understanding of the Moon's formation and
Should people who aren't scientists have a say in what science gets done, and how it is used? This week, Risk Bites takes on the knotty topic of science and public engagement. This video was created to preface a conference session on engaging publics on science and technology -- synthetic biolog
Learn about the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission to Mars in this video from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Mars does not have a global magnetic field like Earth but does have patches of magnetic fields. Scientists use magnetometers to study the planet's magnetic anomalies.
Explore the complex process of designing and building a satellite using the MAVEN mission to Mars as an example. Plans for the MAVEN satellite went through a thorough review of the concept, budget, and risk analysis before proceeding to the next step of the process. Even after the design review is a
