TodennÀköisesti ei vielÀ. Kun kÀytÀt ruutua ruoan materiaalin kanssa, se ei ole helppo saada kestÀvÀlla kestÀvyyttÀ, koska ruutu on erilainen vuodesta vuodesta, maata vuodesta, mikÀ vaikuttaa asioihin kuten suurta sisÀltöÀ, fibra-struktuurin ja niin edelleen. Joten nyt ruutu-basedi superkapasiteetit ovat aivan vahva lab-tutkimus.
Oh, well, it's good to know that they've got that far to be lab discovery. I would love to have fruit-based electronics. Now, given that we've been talking fruit, it's interesting to learn that over at Unexpected Elements HQ, as we hear in this week's fact file, attempts to identify fruits are going pear-shaped. Oh.
Hei, Lucy. Oletko valmiina pÀivÀkirjojen tehtÀvÀksi? Tietysti olen, Sophie. Olin koko ajan tekemÀssÀ ja olen niin tyytyvÀinen, ettÀ nÀen kolme sinua. Mutta se on tarpeeksi, kun voin loppua. Ja sinÀ olet todennÀköisesti luonut kaikki sÀÀntöjÀ tÀysin tÀmÀn ajan? KyllÀ, miksi? No, me kaikki tiedÀmme, mitÀ tapahtui viime vuonna.
Olen varma, ettÀ jos luulet kumppanin bylawsia, se pi-kortti oli tÀysin legaalia. Mmmh, okei. Joka tapauksessa, olen luonut kaikki hyvin huomattavasti. TÀllÀ vuonna on vain kaksi sÀÀntöÀ. EnsimmÀinen pitÀisi olla pii, joka on tehty oikeastaan ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruotsalaisesta ruots
Oh, Lucy. What? A strawberry isn't a berry. What are you talking about? It's literally called a straw berry. Botanically, a true berry has to develop from a single ovary of a single flower. Strawberries come from a different part of the plant, so they're not true berries. They're technically called aggregate accessory fruits.
If it makes you feel better, raspberries and blackberries aren't berries either. Why would that make me feel better? Well, someone's entered a pumpkin pie, so at least I'm not the biggest idiot this year. Actually, pumpkins are berries. This makes no sense!
Well, maybe the judges won't notice my mistake. Do you really think that a group of pedantic science radio producers are going to miss an opportunity for fact-checking? You know what? It's okay. After last year's fiasco, I thought it would be a good idea to have multiple options. The rules said a berry or a nut, so I'm still in with a chance with my backup peanut pie. Peanuts aren't a nut, are they? No, they're not.
Sour grapes there from Lucy and Sophie. Unfortunately, Lucy, peanuts are in fact legumes, not nuts. Michael, we've been talking fruits inspired by the devastation to the Alfonso mango crop. What fruit direction are you taking us down next?
What makes this planet odd and how does it connect to lemons? Let's start off with the planet's shape. It is actually an oblong, lemon-like shape. Yes, that is odd. In my experience, most planets tend to be spherical. How did it end up this way?
TÀmÀ kuulostaa erityisesti minulle. Onko tÀmÀ yleinen löytö?
Ah, ok. So we've got a lemon-shaped planet with an atmosphere full of graphite and diamonds. It certainly sounds like something out of a sci-fi film. Thank you so much, Michael. For extra fruitiness, can I share with you that the massive dust cloud at the centre of the Milky Way...
known as Sagittarius B2, contains a vast amount of something called ethyl formate, or ethyl formate, which is a key chemical that makes up the taste of raspberries, which as we've learnt so far in this show, isn't actually a berry. So, still to come on the show, vegetables that aren't, but that might be immortal. That's coming up after this.
Hei, Lucy tÀÀllÀ, ja nyt on aika tÀmÀn viikon Unexpected Elements-kysymykseen. Inhimillinen maa on paikallaan jonkinlaisia uskomattomia asioita, mutta yksi erityisesti rikkii toisen. MÀÀrÀt. On sanottu, ettÀ ÀitiÀ voisi tappaa lapsille, ja inhimillisessÀ maassa tÀmÀ on usein totta. Mutta mÀÀrÀpÀivÀiset ÀitiÀ on ainakin mahdollista antaa ensin huomioon.
Maiset, jotka ovat odottaneet tai ovat jo aiemmin syntyneet, saavat yksinkertaisen tavoitteen kÀsitellÀ vihreÀmpiÀ naisia, jotta heidÀt huomioidaan mahdollisimman huonoja seurauksia, jotka tulevat heidÀn lapsensa lÀpi. Joten minun kysymykseni on, minkÀ tavoin tÀmÀ vihreÀ kÀsite on? A. Bananamuotoinen urin. B. Oranssi rauhassa. Tai C. JÀrviÀ, jotka ovat ympÀrillÀ heidÀn jÀrveniÀ.
Kuinka uudet maisten vanhemmat kÀsittelevÀt naiset lapsen lÀpi? A. Bananamuotoinen juuri. B. Oranssi rauhassa. C. Jumalassa. MietitÀÀn ja olen takaisin vastauksessa vastauksessa.
You're listening to Unexpected Elements from the BBC World Service, where this week we've been focused on the fruit and veg section of science, inspired by the headline of the loss of most of the prized Alfonso mango crop, which got us thinking sea cucumbers.
You may think this link is tenuous when I reveal that these are creatures, not one of your five a day. Yes, they are in fact animals. But I know you'll forgive us when you hear that according to a new study, they might be immortal.
To tell us more, we're joined by Dr. Annie Mercier from the Memorial University of Newfoundland. Annie, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Sea cucumbers. I know that you've spent decades studying them. Just to clarify, are they called sea cucumbers because they live in the sea and they look like cucumbers?
Monet niistÀ ovat kÀrpÀisiÀ ja joitain niistÀ on hienoja. On erilaisia erilaisia tekstityksiÀ ja erilaisia vÀriÀ. Jotkut niistÀ ovat rauhassa, vihreÀssÀ ja vihreÀssÀ. Haluan aloittaa uudistuneesta tutkimuksestasi, jossa olet tutkinut seurauksia seurauksista enemmÀn kuin kolme vuotta.
And we said, you know, there's something weird there. Okay. Because, you know, if I, heaven forbid, lost a toe, I know exactly what would happen to the toe. And it certainly wouldn't carry on living its independent life for me. It would disintegrate. Do we know why these discarded feet didn't just die? Why they stay alive?
