March 22 is World Water Day. In this hour, we'll take a look at the technical and political challenges in providing clean water around the world.

It is possible to drink too much water in hot weather. A discussion with Douglas Casa, of the Korey Stringer Institute, about how to stay hydrated in a healthy way when being physically active on a hot day. He also talks about the move...

Planet hunters say they've identified the first planet orbiting a distant star with conditions right to sustain liquid water and, perhaps, life.

When planning a trip, do you take climate change into consideration? Some popular destinations may not be the same in a few years, as the climate warms, ice melts, wildlife disappears, and waters rise. So you may want to visit them...

Yeast, hops, grain, water, biology, chemistry, and physics, all go into making a great glass of beer.

Robert Carpick, a curler and a friction scientist, explains what scientists now think causes ice to be slippery. It is believed that there is a nano-thin layer of water on top of the ice that allows skates to slide along ice. Aired Feb....

It's beer that made Milwaukee famous -- and in this hour, live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ira and guests raise a glass to the science of brewing beer. How do yeast, water, hops and grain combine to form a lager, pilsner, or ale?
