Connect. Episode 10

Description

The European Space Agency is working on its second automated transport vehicle. Last year, the first ATV, named Jules Verne, delivered supplies to the International Space Station. The second ATV has been named Johannes Keppler, after the German mathematician and astronomer. Carmakers represented at the recent Geneva Motorshow have been feeling the effects of the global international crisis. The twin pressures of recession and environmental concerns have lead to a focus on smaller, more energy efficient vehicles. Scientists at Monash University are developing a liquid scaffold that can be injected into the brain to help build neuron pathways in the case of Parkinson's disease, or spinal cord injury.
