R.Science Sept 2014 Newton, sun and ice

From the private life of Sir Isaac Newton to a topic so hot it takes place on the sun, September's R.Science is all about extremes. We interview researchers at the forefront of the field of coronal heating and scientists looking at the reduction of ice on the Arctic Sea. We also get a fascinating insight into Newton's forgotten papers and hear from a volunteer at this year's Summer Science Exhibition.
