Get ready for another adventure through space, nature, and the strangest corners of science on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

This week, we’re answering YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out to decide which science is the best, and uncovering the surprising reason we have nails — and why they’re much more important than you might think!

In Science in the News, we’re diving into some earth-shaking discoveries! The world’s brightest minds have been honoured with this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, celebrating breakthroughs that could change our future forever. Then, we look to the skies where renewable energy has officially overtaken coal as the world’s biggest power source, and travel thousands of years back in time with Professor Peter Bellwood, who reveals the world’s earliest evidence of mummification and what it tells us about ancient civilizations.

Then we dive into your questions: Evie wants to know why we have nails, and evolutionary biologist Greg Hurst is here to reveal the clever science behind them.

Dangerous Dan is back too, with another wild and deadly creature that’ll have you watching your step!

And in Battle of the Sciences, Nathalie Vriend joins Dan to explore the fascinating world of granular flows, revealing how sand dunes “talk” to each other and how avalanches made of sand can transform entire landscapes.
