Information
Sci Fi Science
Explore the world of the seemingly impossible with the all-new series SCI FI SCIENCE. Hosted by internationally-renowned physicist and co-founder of string field theory, Dr. Michio Kaku, this series poses the idea that science fiction may not be so far from science fact. Examine topics that currently seem so far outďż˝ of the realm of possibility, such as invisibility cloaks, teleportation, time travel and more.
Kaku uses discussion of speculative technologies to introduce topics of fundamental physics to the reader. The topic of invisibility becomes a discussion on why the speed of light is slower in water than a vacuum that electromagnetism is similar to ripples in a pond, and Kaku discusses newly-developed composite materials. The topic of Star Trek "phasers" becomes a lesson on how lasers work and how laser-based research is conducted. With each discussion of science fiction technology topics he also "explains the hurdles to realizing these science fiction concepts as reality".

How to Become a Superhero
Ep. 10)Superhero powers are every kid's dream: the strength to lift cars, run faster than a train and see through solid walls. New technologies are rocketing these powers off the pages of comic books and into the real world. Dr Ray Boughman demonstrates how memory metal and alcohol vapours can be used to create super strong artificial muscles. Chris Magel from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science explains how a lobster's eye works and provides inspiration for the design of a pair of super sight goggles and MRI scanners provide inspiration for a pair of mindreading gloves. Bad guys watch out!
