I'm gonna give it to you straight: we make beams of neutrinos. Neutrinos are particles that barely touch anything as they pass through everything.

 

Ken Clark and Tia Michelli are back and this episode is awesome. 
neutrino beams: why would we make them? how do we make them?

 

our guest is the host of the FOO SHOW: Will Smith!

Episode 70: Muon, science cat, muon

Muons are very small fundamental particles that are much heavier than they should be. 

they fall apart pretty quickly, but they rain down on us. It's magical.

Today's physicists are Ryan Martin, the particle physicist; and Diana Cowern, host of the "Physics Girl" youtube channel.

 

Our Guest this time is Sarah Gailey, the author!
