Spectrum: I wish I could remember your phone number

Spectrum: I wish I could remember your phone number 05.08.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Feeling forgetful? Then join us for a memory master class from a German world champion. Also, how to keep your phone's most intimate… stuff locked away from those who want it, and sci-fi's contribution to that shiny thing in your pocket.
Spectrum: What would you ask a Neanderthal?

Spectrum: What would you ask a Neanderthal? 28.07.2020 | 30:00 mins.

We can bring Neanderthals back, a la Jurassic Park, with technologies we have today. So... should we? Would it explain why they died just 40,000 years ago? Join us in a German valley, at site of "Neanderthal 1," to track the rise — and perplexing fall — of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
Spectrum: The coronavirus lockdown

Spectrum: The coronavirus lockdown 24.03.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Never in history have so many human beings been stuck inside their homes. This social isolation, and the psychological damage that comes with it, will follow us like a shadow for years to come. Listen to DW's science program Spectrum to find out what to expect.
Spectrum: An invisible enemy

Spectrum: An invisible enemy 11.03.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Invisible, oderless, and it could be anywhere — the novel coronavirus has the perfect "ingredients" to maximize human fear. And when that happens, people act irrationally. Join us for a small dose of medicine.
Spectrum: It's here

Spectrum: It's here 04.03.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Forget Wuhan. If a respected virologist is correct, most will Germans get the novel coronavirus at some point in their lives. Follow us into a diagnostics lab and a preventative "quarantine" as a dozen global teams develop a vaccine.
Spectrum: You need more sleep

Spectrum: You need more sleep 25.02.2020 | 30:00 mins.

No, you’re not the only one in zombie mode. A sleep deprivation "epidemic" is getting measurably worse, and it's awful for your mental health. So lie down, set a soothing alarm, take a morning walk and listen in.
Spectrum: Sex, cats and race

Spectrum: Sex, cats and race 18.02.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Germans are having less sex. Wherefore? The memories of a dead cat can’t be transferred to a new, cloned cat, can they? And why, according to German zoologists, should the word ‘race‘ be banned?
Spectrum: Do I scare you?

Spectrum: Do I scare you? 05.02.2020 | 30:00 mins.

"Careful, he's Chinese." It was a throwaway comment whispered in a German pedestrian zone. But it joins a global chorus, and it raises an ugly thought: Has the coronavirus made us more racist? And if so, what's the vaccine?
Spectrum: Sliding into unhappiness

Spectrum: Sliding into unhappiness 28.01.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Feeling cynical? Then come slip into the ‘u-shaped’ trough that represents human happiness over an average lifetime. The good news? You can clamber right back out — with the right tools.
Spectrum: Close your eyes, open your heart, and join our experiment on music and emotions

Spectrum: Close your eyes, open your heart, and join our experiment on music and emotions 21.01.2020 | 30:00 mins.

What do you get when you mix three DW test subjects, a Dutch researcher and a few thousand music clips? A noisy recreation of a newly published study.
Spectrum: You just gotta want it?

Spectrum: You just gotta want it? 14.01.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Is there anything you'd like to change about the way you're living life? If we're honest with ourselves, the answer to that question is yes. But it's the actually doing something about that can be tricky. Why?
Spectrum: Looking for evidence

Spectrum: Looking for evidence 07.01.2020 | 30:00 mins.

Cyborgs are real, they're here already, and we'd love to introduce you to them. Also, if you like forensic crime shows, you're going to love the lab we visit in this week's show.
Spectrum: Happiness, fear and our atmosphere

Spectrum: Happiness, fear and our atmosphere 30.12.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Our boiling hot planetary neighbor, Venus, might have once been similar to Earth. So are we headed toward a similar catastrophe? Also, how to be happy – regardless of what’s happening in the world around you.
Spectrum: Let's finish this decade off

Spectrum: Let's finish this decade off 23.12.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Is this really the place to look back at gravitational waves, AI and gene editing advancements? No, it isn't. Instead, we choose the science that made us think and laugh. It involves sex, odd noises, cats — and mediocre singing.
Spectrum: Don't open until Christmas

Spectrum: Don't open until Christmas 17.12.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Want to give the perfect gift, but also receive it? There's some surprisingly rich science on the subject that'll save you money and guilt. Also why we end up despising certain Christmas songs, and the future of shopping.
Spectrum: New Peers Review takes on AI

Spectrum: New Peers Review takes on AI 10.12.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Ever wondered what Sci-Fi movies have to do with AI and robots in real life? Or how AI affects racial bias in health? Join us for another edition of our roving science game show and find out. This time we're at an AI boot camp in Berlin. The New Peers Review is a co-production by DW and the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.
Spectrum: New Peers Review takes on neurodegeneration

Spectrum: New Peers Review takes on neurodegeneration 03.12.2019 | 30:00 mins.

The roving science game show returns to challenge two brave neuroscientists at King's College London. We venture beyond accepted fact to ask whether AI really helps, and whether there's a future in cannabinoids to help people with dementia. A co-production by DW and the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.
Spectrum: Clean up after yourself

Spectrum: Clean up after yourself 26.11.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Plug your nose, folks, because "poop streak science" goes well beyond the toilet bowl. Also, we plunge into the data (and psychology) of German "flings" and make an appeal for a bit – just a bit – of quiet.

Spectrum: Sat up

Spectrum: Sat up 19.11.2019 | 30:00 mins.

As we enter the age of satellite mega-constellations, it’s time to celebrate an unsung satellite hero that’s watching you right now. Also, a new twist in the great insect die-off shows that landscape matters.
Spectrum: You be careful out there

Spectrum: You be careful out there 12.11.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Indoor plants aren’t as good for you as you might think, why 12 million seahorses died (and more importantly, why they should live), and a few hundred “bird brains” join a very exclusive club.
Spectrum: Change yourself

Spectrum: Change yourself 05.11.2019 | 30:00 mins.

A new romantic partner changes everything, doesn’t it? Not according to a study on Germans. Also, a streaming platform under fire, and what the sound of dogs, cats, and heroic music does to you.
Spectrum: Intercourse and the art of communication

Spectrum: Intercourse and the art of communication 22.10.2019 | 30:00 mins.

People who are good with emojis have more sex, but hold your emoji horses before trying to do the same. Also, winning coaches use negative language – and talking violence at the world's biggest video game event.
Spectrum: Can you taste where a wine came from?

Spectrum: Can you taste where a wine came from? 15.10.2019 | 30:00 mins.

Volcanic soils, limestone bedrock, steep slate slopes — isn’t it lovely to imagine that the soil a fruit grows in has a direct impact on how it tastes? A trip through Germany’s wine country suggests otherwise.
Spectrum: Hands and feet

Spectrum: Hands and feet 08.10.2019 | 30:00 mins.

You know what's better than five fingers? Six. We look at this strange new research and talk to a "polydactyl" himself. Also, go barefoot, but then put some shoes on to meet a young German woman with "foot phobia."
