The University of Washington is advancing research into deep brain stimulation, which is used to treat people with essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions. At the Center for Neurotechnology, a team is designing and testing upgrades for devices to make them smarter and less intrusive. Along with enhanced brain sensors, new control algorithms, and machine-learning techniques to improve device performance, the team is ensuring the design meets the day-to-day usability needs of patients. Part of the "Science Nation" series.

A green roof can certainly make a building look nicer, but can it lower energy requirements and improve water management? Engineer Jelena Srebric and horticulturist Rob Berghage are working on a project to measure and model how a green roof affects the way buildings use energy and water. The researchers hope that architects will someday use their model to make building designs even greener.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Phoebe is to participate in a slam-dunk during contest at half time of the big basketball game. The problem is Phoebe can't jump high enough. "If only gravity didn't pull on me." she moans. Never one to be tied down, Ms. Frizzle sends the class into space and turns the Bus into a planet — with adjustable gravity. The class finds basketball's a snap with low gravity and a riot with no gravity at all, but when there's way too much gravity, things get really heavy.

Demonstrates how to observe and record scientific observations. Concepts and terminology: observation, data, recording, data table, tools, safety, measuring, and graphs.
Host Alex Dainis discuses the science behind striking a match. She explains how the chemical components of matches and the striking surface work together to produce fire.
Introduces the social and health aspects of good personal hygiene. Demonstrates the correct way to wash hands and bathe, as well as how to take care of hair and nails. Discusses the importance of wearing sunscreen, protecting skin from bumps, bites and itches, and keeping hair and nails clean and groomed.
The people at Barrett Technologies in Cambridge, Massachusetts are always glad to lend a hand, or an arm, or both, as long as they're robotic. Barrett Technologies is on the cutting edge of developing and implementing robotic technology.
A team visits a medical center to learn how medical equipment and procedures were developed for biomedical technology. They also discuss how biomedical technology is applied in medicine. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
Learn the characteristics of meteorites. In this episode, host Emily Graslie presents meteorites as well as rocks that are frequently mislabeled as meteorites. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
What great discovery is yet to be made from coral reef habitats? Some researchers believe they may hold the key to new developments in medicine. Part of the "Coral Comeback" series.
Host Alex Dainis highlights the uses and history of parafilm. It is commonly used in health care, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories for covering or sealing vessels such as flasks, cuvettes, test tubes, beakers, Petri dishes, and more. Scientists and researchers use it in the lab since it is ductile, malleable, nontoxic, and self-sealing.
Nourish is an educational initiative designed to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, particularly in schools and communities. In this clip, food experts discuss the positives of eating seasonally. Part of the Nourish Short Films Series.
Students will learn how light is measured. Visual diagrams and hands-on experiments help students understand how light works. Important terminology includes wave, electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength, energy, reflection, lens, and prism.
Jeff's ship arrives to Phuket, Thailand where he kayaks through the spectacular Phang Nga Bay and discovers bat-filled sea caves. Next, he lends a hand to a sea turtle conservation program and teams up with a Thai chef for a tantalizing trip to the market for an exquisite Thai food experience.
