Leading Edge brings you the latest news from the world of science. Geoff Watts celebrates discoveries as soon as they're being talked about - on the internet, in coffee rooms and bars; often before they're published in journals. And he gets to grips with not just the science, but with the controversies and conversation that surround it.

Big Bang recreated
Brian Cox tells us why a huge new experiment designed to re-create a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, is not going to blow us all up when it switches on next year.
