b'Have you lost your senses? You\\u2019ll find them everywhere you look. Sensors respond to external stimuli \\u2013 light, sound, temperature and much else \\u2013 to help us make sense (ha!) of our universe. And more are on their way. \\u201cUbiquitous sensing\\u201d is the term that describes a world blanketed by tiny sensors: on bridges, in paint and medicine bottles, and even in our brains!\\nDiscover where you\\u2019ll find sensors next. And, has the world\\u2019s largest detection device found the elusive particle that will help explain the universe? Where are you, Higgsy-wiggsy?\\nAlso, out-of-this world sensors have detected a possibly Earth-like planet. What\\u2019s next for the Kepler planet-hunters?\\nPlus, DIY sensor kits, and, if computers can do all that, why can\\u2019t we send the odor of, say, freshly-baked bread over the Internet? The case for a smell-o-meter.\\nGuests:\\n\\n\\nFrank Close - Physicist at Oxford University, author of The Infinity Puzzle: Quantum Field Theory and the Hunt for an Orderly Universe\\n\\n\\n\\nJan Rabaey - Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), University of California, Berkeley\\n\\n\\nBarry Shell - Writer in Vancouver, Canada\\n\\n\\nAndy Huntington - Interaction designer, based in London\\n\\n\\nSara Seager - Professor of planetary science and physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\\n\\n\\nPlanet hunters - Daryll LaCourse and Tom Jacobs, citizen scientists with Planet Hunters\\n\\nDescripci\\xf3n en espa\\xf1ol\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
