EUSci: Edinburgh University Science Podcast #46

Today we bring you a fresh new podcast, on a fresh new website, with a fresh new podcaster as well! This week our host Luke Cripps guides us through stories about nanolasers, melting ultracold glass and whether numbers can exist without language and much more. So sit back and enjoy our take on the chill number of science stories that made the headlines (or at least the science pages) of newspapers over the past couple of weeks.
