Amanda Knox served four years in an Italian prison for the murder of her British flatmate Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007, always insisting on her innocence. In 2011, she was acquitted on the basis of DNA evidence but prosecutors successfully appealed and her acquittal was struck down. In 2014 she was again found guilty in absentia after a retrial and sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail. The saga came to and end when Italy's highest court overturned the convictions of Ms Knox and her former boyfriend, Italian student Raffaele Sollecito in March 2015. Known burglar Rudy Guede was arrested a short time later following the discovery of his bloodstained fingerprints on Kercher's possessions. He was later found guilty of murder in a fast-track trial and is currently (as of 2019) serving a 16-year prison sentence.

Just prior to the end of World War II, the German military secretly undertook a massive push to design miracle weapons - colossal tanks, the world's first guided missiles, and high-speed jets that could attack New York. Now, nearly 60 years later, a team of experts examines the original blueprints to determine if these so-called "Wunderwaffen," or "wonder weapons," could have changed the outcome of the war. One of Adolf Hitler's most top secret bombs: The Fritz X grandfather of the modern smart bomb. Prototype testing revealed that the success rate with this radio-guided bomb was over 80 times higher than with conventional free-falling bombs of the time. In every documented case the destructive power of the Fritz X proved so strong that it would completely rip through any battleship it hit. It would never explode while still inside the ship, but on exiting or in the water.

Une nouvelle ère de l’astronomie vient de s’ouvrir. Alors que l’existence des mystérieux neutrinos avait été envisagée dès les années 1930, des scientifiques ont tout récemment réussi à la prouver. Particules élémentaires d’un nouveau genre, les neutrinos sont d’origine extraterrestre, et même extragalactique ! Ils composent une partie microscopique des rayonnements cosmiques qui inondent en permanence l'atmosphère terrestre et traversent notre corps à la vitesse de la lumière. Si ce rayonnement est connu depuis longtemps, le lieu et le processus d'apparition exacts de ces particules restent un mystère. Depuis des laboratoires du pôle Sud et de la côte méditerranéenne, des équipes internationales de chercheurs tentent de capturer ces neutrinos chargés d'énergie, au moyen de gigantesques détecteurs.
