Renowned experimental psychologist Professor Bruce Hood delivers three demonstration-packed lectures entitled Meet Your Brain

In the first of this year's Christmas lectures, Dr Mark Miodownik investigates why size matters in animal behaviour. He reveals how the science of materials - the stuff from which everything is made - can explain some of the most extraordinary and surprising feats in the animal kingdom. Dr Mark Miodownik zooms into the microscopic world beneath our fingertips. In this unfamiliar landscape, strange forces dominate the world and common sense goes out of the window. He reveals how this tiny hidden world can make objects behave like magic, and discovers the secrets of the extraordinary metals that make jet engines possible. In the last of this year's Christmas Lectures, Dr Mark Miodownik investigates the world of the very big and very tall. He reveals that, at this scale, everything is governed by a battle with one of the strangest forces in the universe - gravity.

Dr Peter Wothers unpicks the chemistry of the world around us, looking at air, water and earth - three of the original ancient Greek 'elements' that tantalised alchemists for centuries.

Inspired by the Royal Institution’s very own Michael Faraday, Prof Danielle George attempts to use simple motors to construct the world’s greatest robot orchestra. When Michael Faraday demonstrated the first electric motor in 1822, he could never have dreamed that in 2014 we’d be surrounded by mechanical devices capable of performing nearly every human task. In this lecture, Danielle will explain how these robotic and motor-driven appliances work and show how they can adapted to help you kick start a technological revolution. She’ll show you how to turn a washing machine into a wind turbine, how Lego can solve a Rubik’s Cube and how the next Mars rover will traverse an alien world.

从低等的线虫到最高等的哺乳动物，生命都是地球上最为精彩的故事。但是从受孕的那一刻，到肢体的形成，大脑的发育，所有生物体都依赖一样东西-细胞。细胞生长、分裂、分化、移动、交流到最终死亡。它们是生命的本质，但是它们是如何协调工作的呢？科学家正在逐渐解开这个谜团。生命如此奇妙，充满复杂的问题，但是随着问题的出现，我们正在逐一解答。 皇家科学院圣诞讲座2013由牛津大学的艾丽森·伍拉德博士主讲，探索发育生物学最前沿的问题，揭秘简单的细胞是如何转变成为一个复杂的生物体。这些机制又揭示地球上所有生物的哪些联系呢？我们能否利用这些知识，来提高我们自己的生活呢？ —— 人人影视 http://www.yyets.com/resource/32136
