We get a little ‘behind’ in our work, as we test out these ultra-strong and durable jeans designed to keep bikers safe from spills on the highways.

Hemp Car
We fast forward to the future of car manufacturing… featuring cannabis. In Alberta, Canada, there’s a movement to take the industrial form of cannabis – called hemp – and use it to build a car chassis. Sound strange? Of course it does… but it’s stronger than anything on the road today.

Bat Sonar
You may know that a bat’s shape-shifting ears give it one of the most sophisticated sonar systems in hte world. What you may not know is that a group of scientists want to build robot ears with the very same powers.

Skateboard Professor
For anyone who has ever considered mathematics to be boring, we meet a professor and inventor who is taking binary code to a whole new level… with skateboards!

Swarmanoid
These robots form a small army – and they’re a perfect example of bits and bytes of technology uniting for a common good… or… are they proof that the world will soon be taken over by soulless drones!

Avalanche Lab
We meet a team of scientists working on a real snow job. By studying individual snow flakes, they can determine – and prevent – when and where an avalanche will strike.

Disabled Hang Glider
Daredevil Dan Buchanan wants to fly a hang glider… but Dan has a bigger challenge than fear of heights – Dan is disabled. Can he do it? You bet he can, with the help of a customized hang glider.

Spider Puppet
Arachnophobes beware: The inventor of this giant puppet wants to scare you with his remarkably life-like creation.

Rocket Plane
We check out a passenger plane called the A2, and not since the Concorde has there been this much excitement over a flying machine. The aircraft’s speed – over three thousand miles an hour – might have something to do with it!

Mabel Robot
Scientists at the University of Michigan have created a robot that walks just like a human. Her name is Mabel, and she’s graduated from baby steps to giant leaps.

French Cave Carvings
The amazing gadget in this story is the result of one man’s passion and determination to capture messages left behind by allied troops of the First World War.

The inventor in this story has one very “fired up” imagination, as he sets about his mission to create ultra cool wheelchairs… inspired by his own brother’s disability.

Giant Port
We visit an enormous port and industrial zone in the United Arab Emirates… and while we’ve come to expect super-sized engineering from the U.A.E., this particular port – the size of a small country – is a little bit differnt: it’s several miles offshore.

Trucker Distraction
We go to a university in Florida, where with the help of a very real “virtual” truck, they’re uncovering stunning new information about driver distraction… not to mention some pretty scary habits.

Toronto Rehab
We visit a research facility that takes slippery falls, trips on stairs, and everyday bumps and scratches… and turns them into a science.

Gigantic Model Train
We travel to Canada to check out the country’s largest fully operational model train. If the level of hand-crafted detail doesn’t impress you – and it will – get a load of the sheer size and scope of the railway. At almost a mile long, one lap of the track lasts 40 minutes.
