WHAT'S WATT: the channel dedicated to electricity - Season 4

In our WHAT’S WATT video series we discuss everything there is to discuss about electricity, from those little neurons in your brain to today’s biggest hydroelectric stations. We talk about energy, transmission lines and new emerging technologies. If it has to do with electricity, we got it covered!

Season 4: Watt’s new?

The season will continue to run from January to December, with one episode broadcasted every month.

Frédéric introduces Sylvie, a new What’s Watt host who will talk – among other topics, about women who stand out in the field STEM science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

In this new season we will also be covering topics such as:

  • How electricity can help work towards global decarbonation
  • The fakes of electricity, and how to distinguish the true from the false
  • What would our daily life be without electricity?

WHAT'S WATT - Season 3

Frédéric pays tribute to an unjustly unrecognized genius of electricity. We also cover topics such as energy storage, and how to avoid power cuts. And we go back to electricity basics: how electric charges flow and what objects best conduct them.  

WHAT'S WATT - Season 2

We cover incredible topics such as electricity in space, the high-tech behind a race boat, how much electricity datacenters use, and a special visit on the Nexans Aurora: a vessel that will literally blow your mind!

WHAT'S WATT - Season 1

Our Nexans science expert Frédéric Lesur co-hosts the video series with two science communicators: Athena Brensberger (astrophysics), and Vanessa Hill (psychology and neuroscience).
