Episode 1 • Dec 07, 2022
Nuclear Fusion
As we face the climate emergency, some scientists and companies are working on a new energy source that could solve our problems for decades to come: nuclear fusion. This new energy would emulate the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun, but it's also carbon-free and devoid of nuclear waste or radiation. As we face the climate emergency and a global energy crisis, some scientists and companies are working on a new carbon-free energy source that could solve our energy problems for decades to come: nuclear fusion. Unlike the nuclear energy we have today (nuclear fission), fusion entails no nuclear waste or radiation. We visit Tokamak Energy and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in the UK to find out their latest scientific developments, but the big question remains: when will nuclear fusion finally become a viable source of energy?
Episode 2 • Dec 07, 2022
Bionic Bodies
Humans have always augmented their bodies with prosthetics. But what if we could marry human physiology with robotics? Open Bionics is a company in the UK developing a powered bionic hand controlled by our own muscles, with multi-grip functionality and empowering aesthetics. We'll also meet Tilly, an inspiring example of how these new prosthetics can improve people's lives. Lastly, we will interview Kevin Warwick, known as the world's first cyborg, in order to take a deeper look into how biology and technology could merge in the future and what it means to be human.
Episode 3 • Mar 14, 2022
Space Cleaners
Satellites play a big role in our lives. However, most of the objects we've sent into space are already junk, thus becoming a threat to functioning satellites. We'll discover how space-debris removal technology can allow us to track, manoeuvre, and remove these useless objects roaming in orbit.
Episode 4 • Dec 07, 2022
Lab-Grown Meat
Although livestock have a major destructive impact on the environment, meat consumption is still rising in the world. To overcome this problem, scientists working in companies like Mosa Meat are exploring a more sustainable way of eating meat: cultured meat-real meat that has been developed in a lab from animal cells, without having to slaughter the animal. Other companies like NovaMeat are also using these cells as an ingredient in their plant-based products, in order to match the taste of real meat. Such revolutionary food products are inviting us to re-think the way we consume meat.
Episode 5 • Dec 07, 2022
The Blockchain
We know that our financial system is far from perfect. Could blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies become the solution to our monetary problems? We'll take a look into blockchain technology to understand how it really works. We'll also meet with the founders of Digitalbits, a blockchain technology that is now partnering with top sports organizations like Roma FC and Inter FC, offering their digital tokens to their fans. We'll also examine the rising world of NFTS and how Web 3.0 could revolutionize the internet and our new digital economies.
