Connect. Episode 13

Description

General Motors and Segue have teamed together to build the PUMA, short for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility. The prototype runs on a lithium battery and was designed to be a fast, safe, inexpensive and clean alternative to cars. The Planck research satellite has been developed to measure the very weak background cosmic radiation, the last vestiges of the Big Band at the beginning of time. It maps the same type of radiation as used in common kitchen appliances, such as the microwave. Dolphins emit an extremely complex stream of sounds. Now, a British scientist claims he is close to deciphering their special ""language"", with the help of sand, glass and a violin bow!
