60 Second Adventures in Artificial Intelligence

...thinking machines dates back to antiquity. Renaissance craftsmen built complex automatons to try to simulate intelligent behaviour. However, the possibility of genuine Artificial Intelligence (AI) had to wait until the arrival of programmable computers in the twentieth century. Since then there have been several failed attempts. That was until the advent of modern “Deep...

Youth justice in the UK: children, young people and crime

...systems in the UK. What you think about the boundaries that separate children from adults – what makes a child a child and an adult an adult – is very important to the issues you’ll learn about in this course. Ideas about childhood and adulthood differ from culture to culture and over historical time. These ideas are given particular force and influence when they...

Why does it matter that the Sun's core rotates faster than the surface?

...think about the world and our place in the universe. Many dinosaurs were covered in feathers; there’s a planet in the habitable zone around the nearest star in the night sky; the universe is expanding faster and faster but no one yet knows why. Now there’s a genuinely awe-inspiring and amazing discovery that really has changed the way I think about our solar system. A...

The new politics of climate change

...systems represent a massive undertaking to achieve them within the 12 year window recommended in the IPCC 2018 climate change report. This demands a level of attention in the UK that is comparable to the UKs war effort during World War II. Such efforts must focus not just on immediate carbon targets but engage more comprehensively with the need for deep adaptation as...

How do musical instruments produce sound?

...think of those forming a wave like those in the figure below. A faster vibration creates more waves; the rate at which they move is called the ‘frequency’, which we measure in hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. The higher the frequency (or the more ‘bumps’ in the waveform) the higher the pitch. [Music sound waves] Sine waves across different frequencies. So where...
