Description

The latest developments in health, medicine, environmental issues, space and technology feature in this exciting and thought-provoking package of science stories. This episode looks at a new field of technology called biomimetics that aims to create machines that mimic living creatures and the robot fly researchers are trying to build; new research that shows that many people, especially the elderly, have vision defects that make it difficult for them to see road signs and pedestrians; data from the Galileo mission that hints at an immense global ocean beneath the frozen crust and a possibility of life; and efforts to improve coal cleaning cyclones via CAT scans and mathematical modeling.
