In this special edition of the Chequered Flag podcast, Damon Hill joins Rosanna Tennant and Harry Benjamin live on stage at Silverstone to reflect on a thrilling British Grand Prix.
For much of the early 20th century, quantum mechanics was one of the most puzzling ideas in science. The theory challenged conventional thinking and left even leading physicists struggling to make sense of its implications. A century later, it has become the foundation of technologies that influence daily life, including lasers, microchips, secure communications, and emerging quantum computers.
Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has warned of a "frightening" digital future just days after Sony announced it would soon end production for physical PlayStation discs.
These may be the last days of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.
An announcement on the Mechanical Turk website says that on July 30, 2026, the crowdsourcing service will close to new customers.

I've been playing videogames since my Dad was convinced my tiny baby hands were strong enough to grip a Mega Drive controller for more than five seconds. I'm sure he was just trying to convince my mum that the CD add-on was worth the insane amount of money—it definitely wasn't, as I'm told it broke within mere weeks of him buying it. I'm still not convinced that my Mum didn't have a hand in that.
Physicists have developed a new way to control the rotation of molecules inside tiny droplets of liquid helium, marking an important advance in the study of superfluids. By using a specially designed optical centrifuge, the team was able to precisely spin molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, giving scientists a powerful new tool for exploring these unusual frictionless materials.
Primordial black holes have remained one of astronomy's most intriguing ideas for decades. Now, researchers at the University of Miami believe a recent gravitational wave detection may bring scientists closer to confirming that these ancient objects are real, a breakthrough that could also help solve the enduring mystery of dark matter.
