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 an artificial reef being built in Queensland that is designed not only to protect the golden sands from endless erosion, but also to create the perfect surfing wave; a possible link between sun exposure and schizophrenia; a biologist with a bent for high tech gadgetry who, with the help of giant mechanical wings flapping in a huge tank of oil, has discovered the aerodynamic tricks that make flies top guns and could lead to a robot fly; and astronomers studying solar-type stars to understand our Sun's behavior.
