He explores the origins of the universe, probes the inner workings of the human mind and sees the most powerful laser in the world. To finish, Professor Winston reveals the breakthrough he thinks is most significant.

The 10: Stem cell research, Bio-mechanics, The Contraceptive Pill, Decoding the Human Genome, The Internet, IVF, The laser, The microchip, MRI scanning and Increasing Evidence for the Big Bang.
