Jim Al-Khalili教授在本三集纪录片中，带领观众探究元素背后的故事。

混沌理论，一直是困扰人类数千年的一个迷。这种在动态系统中无法用单一的数据关系解释和预测的神秘理论，在科学界只有初步的了解。在本部纪录片中，吉姆·奥卡利里教授将带领我们探索这神秘的混沌理论，试图揭开这层归因于神奇或者上帝力量的神秘面纱。
吉姆教授带着宇宙是如何由从尘埃中诞生，又是如何孕育出智慧生命的难题，开始了他的探秘旅程。混沌中的数学可以解释宇宙中从无序中产生有序的神奇景象，他揭示出大自然那些令人叹为观止的美丽和结构中隐藏的科学规律，它是物理定律的固有的组成。看过本片之后，你眼中的世界会变得与众不同。

For one night only, Professor Brian Cox goes unplugged in a specially recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his own inimitable style, Brian takes an audience of famous faces, scientists and members of the public on a journey through some of the most challenging concepts in physics. With the help of Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican and James May, Brian shows how diamonds - the hardest material in nature - are made up of nothingness; how things can be in an infinite number of places at once; why everything we see or touch in the universe exists; and how a diamond in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos.

Six months after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the release of radiation there, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to discover whether nuclear power is safe.
He begins in Japan, where he meets some of the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from the exclusion zone. He travels to an abandoned village just outside the zone to witness a nuclear clean-up operation.
Jim draws on the latest scientific findings from Japan and from the previous explosion at Chernobyl to understand how dangerous the release of radiation is likely to be and what that means for our trust in nuclear power.

Horizon goes behind the scenes at CERN to follow one of the most epic and expensive scientific quests of all time: the search for the Higgs particle, believed to give mass to everything in our universe.
However, the hunt for Higgs is part of a much grander search for how the universe works. It promises to help answer questions like why we exist and is a vital part of a Grand Unified Theory of nature. At the heart of the pursuit of the elusive particle is the same feature that makes snowflakes beautiful and human faces attractive: the simple and enchanting idea of symmetry.-------------（@BBC Two）

Professor Jim Al-Khalili takes us back in time to tackle the greatest question in science: how did the universe begin? Uncovering the origins of the universe is regarded as humankind's greatest intellectual achievement. By recreating key experiments Jim unravels the cosmic mystery of science's creation story before witnessing a moment, one millionth of a second, after the universe sprang into existence.

The central premise of this series is that what the human eye can see is only a fraction of the vast amount of matter and energy that exists out in the Universe: our best estimate is that more than 99% of all the stuff that’s out there is hidden in the dark. So how do we know it’s there?

E2 Dark: Prof Jim Al-Khalili investigates the 99 per cent of the cosmos that is hidden in the dark.

通过六件现代人认为理所当然的标志性物品，让我们来一次令人振奋的人类历史之旅，看看科学、发明和技术是如何相辅相成地改变一切的。

量子力学是描写微观物质的一个物理学分支，与相对论一起被认为是现代物理学的两大基本支柱，许多物理学理论和科学，如原子物理学、固体物理学、核物理学和粒子物理学以及其它相关的学科，都是以量子力学为基础。

　　19世纪末，经典力学和经典电动力学在描述微观系统时的不足越来越明显。量子力学是在20世纪初由马克斯·普朗克、尼尔斯·玻尔、沃纳·海森堡、埃尔温·薛定谔、沃尔夫冈·泡利、路易·德布罗意、马克斯·玻恩、恩里科·费米、保罗·狄拉克、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦等一大批物理学家共同创立的。透过量子力学的发展，人们对物质的结构以及其相互作用的见解被革命化地改变，同时，许多现象也得以真正地被解释。借助量子力学，以往经典理论无法直接预测的现象，可以被精确地计算出来，并能在之后的实验中得到验证。除透过广义相对论描写的引力外，迄今所有其它物理基本相互作用均可以在量子力学的框架内描写（量子场论）。

　　“量子力学揭密”将会跟随吉姆·阿卡里（Jim Al-Khalili）教授一起探究最准确却又非常令人费解的科学理论——量子力学。彼时正值20世纪初，科学家们刚刚开始探索隐藏在物质内部的秘密。他们发现了一个事物可以同时处于多个位置的领域；在那里，机遇和概率起到主导作用，而现实本身似乎只有在我们对其观察的时候才真正存在。
