- The power of eco-driving: How changing your driving habits can make a surprising impact on carbon emissions, and why even a small percentage of drivers adopting eco-driving can have a ripple effect on traffic.

- Quantum telepathy and the stock market: How entangled particles could enable near-instantaneous trading and potentially revolutionize the financial world, blurring the lines between science and science fiction.

- Laser tweezers and the quantum twin paradox: How researchers are using lasers to manipulate atoms and explore the mysterious relationship between gravity and the quantum realm, potentially unlocking some of the universe's deepest secrets.
