Kit Parker is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve and has served multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan. Even when he’s not in uniform, this Harvard University bioengineer makes it his mission to protect the men and women of the U.S. armed forces. Parker and his team are developing next-generation nanofibers at the Harvard Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). The unlikely inspiration for Parker’s team is none other than the cotton candy machine. They use their own version of that technology to spin a wide range of polymers, both natural and synthetic, into new fabrics and materials for military use. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”

In a decade dominated by the Great Depression, the inventors of the 1930s were desperately trying to make a living. They come up with some simple yet ingenious inventions that are still practical necessities in our fast-paced life. Featured inventions include: the helicopter, xerography, the parking meter, the walkie talkie, and the electric guitar.
Scientists investigate the microbes found in Yellowstone National Park hot springs, geysers, and other pools of water. Micro life is thriving in the extreme environments of the hot springs, and microbiologists believe the diversity of life found at Yellowstone will aid in studying life beyond our planet. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Gas hydrates are a significant potential energy source occurring in ocean-floor sediments at water depths greater than 500 meters. The USGS (US Geological Survey) operates a gas hydrates laboratory on its Menlo Park campus. USGS geophysicists Laura Stern and Steve Kirby detail how they study and create gas hydrates in their super-cooled lab.
Compares four species of chimpanzees and monkeys in Uganda's Kibale National Park. Looks at the habitats, characteristics, food, and socialization of the chimps, red colobos, black-and-white colobos, and red-tailed monkeys.
