This is the greatest story ever told, the creation of everything us. The programme investigates how the Universe came into existence out of nothing, and how it grew from a miniscule point, smaller than an atomic particle, to the vast cosmos we see today.

Based on Tyson's podcast of the same name, the series will feature various guests - from celebrities to comedians and scientists - discussing the latest developments in the universe. It will be filmed in front of a studio audience at the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium.

Professor Brian Cox journeys across the vastness of time and space revealing epic moments of sheer drama that changed the universe forever.

Join Stephen Hawking as he explores the mysteries of the universe, from its beginning to the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Using cutting-edge science and mind-bending theories, this series will take you on a journey through space and time. Get ready to expand your mind!

This 60-episode series will work to answer many important questions and unknown areas in the fields of space, biology, geology, medicine, physics, technology, nature, archaeology, history and the human mind. Over the course of five years, it will answer one question each month in its hour long episodes.

Professor Brian Cox goes on a grand tour of the planet to explain how the Earth's beauty is created by just a handful of forces.

Brian Cox tackles some of the most challenging and intriguing questions facing science.

Having taken on the Wonders Of The Solar System, Professor Brian Cox takes the next step - the laws of the Universe in Wonders Of The Universe. In another epic series, Brian visits some of the most dramatic parts of the globe to explain the fundamental principles that govern the laws of nature - light, gravity, energy, matter and time. With the world's most profound science at its heart, Wonders Of The Universe reveals how the story of humanity is intimately entwined with that of the complex story of the origins of the universe.

Just before the start of Armageddon, a physicist and a nun race against the clock to see if the end of the world apocalypse can be averted.

Scijinks, is a science prank show hosted by Johnny Galecki. It will use cutting edge science as a foundation for outrageous stunts and practical jokes. Along with a team of inventive scientists, Galecki will educate as well as entertain by messing with people's heads. Galecki is set to produce the series as well, which will comprise eight half-hour episodes. Tamara Robertson and Jason Latimer will join Galecki on Scijinks as so-called "prankologists," testing out science on unsuspecting marks, drawing from chemistry, physics, technology, engineering, and more to introduce audiences to remarkable and unusual scientific discoveries while performing innovative pranks. Their stunts will reportedly include showcasing classic chemical reactions under the guise of a cooking class and controlling the movement of objects with their brains using electroencephalography.

This show goes into many scientific concepts that have been seen in films and television shows including: lightsabers, invisibility and death stars.

The show follows Professor Brian Cox as he travels the world to reveal how a few laws of science gave birth to the most complex, and unique feature of the universe - life.

From motorbike crashes and trampoline mishaps to unexpected explosions and novice lumberjacking, we witness the world's most jaw-dropping acts of stupidity.

Although the range of Stephen Hawking's cosmological investigations is almost boundless, he's long been drawn to a handful of really big ideas that are also powerful engines of curiosity and imagination across the world.

Each episode of Big History will begin with an iconic topic from the pages of traditional history such as the Great Pyramids, The Titanic or the American Revolution but then will spin into surprising journeys through other fields, weaving together insights and evidence from various disciplines such as astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, anthropology, history and economics.

Prof Jim Al-Khalili tackles the biggest subject of all, the universe, through a series of critical observations and experiments that revolutionized our understanding of our world.

Kagami Junichirou was known as a physics genius when he was a teenager, and he was even published in "Nature." However, after college, he suddenly lost all interest in science. As a NEET, he's devoted himself to his anime blog and nerdy collecting habits. He claims he has a serious illness called "I can't do anything I don't want to do." Desperate to get him to do something with his life, his little sister manages to get him a job teaching physics at his old high school. He's certainly an unconventional teacher, but he becomes fairly popular with the students. After helping a girl who's being ruthlessly bullied, Kagami finds that he actually likes teaching. Will he continue his career as a weird teacher? Will he go back into physics? Or will he end up back where he started?

Helen Czerski explores the incredible science of temperature. She'll take us from a starting point of the simple human sensations of heat and cold deep into the world of molecular physics, fluid dynamics and high-energy plasmas to reveal the mind-bending science that lies at the heart of this most immediate of our senses. She'll reveal that temperature is so much more than a nice hot cup of tea or the cool of a winter breeze. In fact, what we perceive as temperature is just our senses reacting to the vibration of atoms and molecules. But these vibrations have the ability to change the state of matter, forge new elements from old and start reactions that can transform the world in beautifully constructive or horrifically destructive ways.

The show explores the exciting world of thrill rides, waterslides, and other heart-pumping experiences through a scientific lens. Hosts Kari Byron and Tory Belleci dive into the engineering and physics that explain why these rides excite adrenaline junkies.

In this mind-bending series, Jim Al-Khalili explores the vast range of size in the universe, from tiny atoms to gigantic, interconnected galaxies.

Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth with our astrophysicist host: Matthew O'Dowd.

This nine-part series goes on a worldwide tour with today's most innovative magicians who transform pure science into mind-boggling magic tricks, and demonstrates the chemistry, physics and biology that power the world's greatest illusions.

The laws of physics are absolute. They bind us together, tether us to Earth and govern everything we do, yet we rarely think about them. In the new Science Channel series Outrageous Acts of Danger, adventurer Todd Sampson puts his faith in science to the ultimate test through a series of epic and potentially deadly experiments. This series shows that it is one thing to believe in science, but another to literally trust it with your life. In each of the six 30-minutes episodes, Todd, who once completed an unguided ascent to the top of Mount Everest, puts himself in a death-defying situation, however, the laws of physics dictate that he will escape unscathed. Todd calls upon leading physicists and experts who guarantee that the science behind each experiment is irrefutable, absent of human error.

Inspired by the Southern Sky as he travels Australia, Professor Brian Cox reveals our very latest understanding about how the Universe began and how it will end.

Professor of physics Jim Al-Khalili investigates the most accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever - quantum physics.
