Tomorrow is the 14th of March, and for science it is no ordinary day. It is the death of Stephen Hawking, the birthday of Albert Einstein and also #Pi 3,14 It is not possible to discuss all theories and ideas of these great thinkers here, but we can see how their work can still be seen in current research.
Einstein, Hawking and the number 3,14
In honor of this special day, New Scientist made this special: Einstein, Hawking and others about the laws of the universe. In this audio you can hear editor-in-chief Jim Jansen two homegrown researchers, including particle researcher Rasa Muller of the Nikhef. She explains why she will soon be doing an experiment at the bottom of the sea.

On neutrino hunting in the Mediterranean
You can't see them, they fly right through the earth, and at the bottom of the Mediterranean, spheres of sensitive cameras lurking at them: neutrinos, but how do you hunt these invisible particles? And who first thought that this particle could exist?

On a sunny day in January, two bulb lines are released into the water, in the middle of the Mediterranean. The cameras in the spheres must make the invisible particle 'neutrino' visible. Science journalist Dorine Schenk was there and tells in Unhairy Apen about this trip and the scientists who hunt neutrinos.
