Science and that is the same physics, medicine, nature, or space, time, the brain, life, the universe.

Hello, this week the tiny molecular chemists that make the world go round,

catalysts from brewing beer to cleaning up car emissions and even making less

polluting fuels. We're asking what exactly are catalysts and how do they work?

Plus scientists discover the mechanism behind the majority of Alzheimer's cases.

New technology helps beekeepers keep bees,

and we explore the prospects for the survival of humanity.

degeneration or death of cells in the brain and can result in deterioration of movement, memory

and cognition. Scientists are desperately searching for a cure,

but we still don't know what causes it in the majority of cases.

Now a team at the University of Cambridge

have used a new technique to discover the mechanism behind the development of these diseases.

Georgia Mills spoke to Patrick Chinnery, Professor of Neurology at the University of Cambridge.

Late onset neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease are on the increase because as the population gets older, more and more people are suffering from these disorders.
