The 14th-18th centuries are notable periods in history that radically transformed scientific thought. Traditional understandings and worldviews faced major changes as new scientific discoveries challenged long held beliefs in science, philosophy, and society. This was a revolutionary time for scholars, artists, scientists, and philosophers. Part of the “Civilizations and Ideas” series.
Prospecta Colombia is a gathering of students hosted by “Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia” (UNAD) every year. At the yearly gathering world renowned experts debate and plan the future of the cities on the planet. Host Nerdo Cavernas will show us some of the concepts of what the cities of the future may be.
For Umberto Eco books are a great invention that cannot be improved. However, throughout history, books have undergone technical changes that have altered their nature and the way we use them. Books have undergone a make-over with new technological advancements. Nerdo Cavernas discusses the Digital Book: its uses, its contributions, and much more.
With funding from the National Science Foundation, Maysan Ghovanloo at Georgia Tech designs technology that allows disabled people to control everything - from wheelchairs to computers - with their tongue. Jason DiSanto, who is paralyzed from the neck down, is testing the tongue controller by navigating his wheelchair around a small course.
Innovative projects, software and hardware innovation, interaction between experts and amateurs, small social universe around technology where what appears distant is only a step away and where you learn something new every day; that's Campus Party. Nerdo Cavernas reveals all aspects of the fifth season of this international event held in Bogotá, Colombia.
With support from the National Science Foundation, the RoMeLa Lab at Virginia Tech is developing robots to perform a wide variety of tasks and to eventually be able to move and think on their own. The robots in Dennis Hong’s lab climb walls, negotiate bumpy terrain, and type letters.
With help from the National Science Foundation, physicists at MIT have created 35 “Fab Labs.” They can bring relatively sophisticated design and manufacturing capability to people around the world with four simply tools. At last count, they were in use on three different continents, helping to create everything from critical infrastructure to simple art work.
Claire Tomlin is pushing the envelope of aerospace design by building a new class of autonomous helicopters, with support from the National Science Foundation. These aircraft don’t need a pilot steering them remotely because they navigate themselves. Tomlin believes these helicopters will have applications in the military, civilian search and rescue, and many more venues.
A small prairie town has few secrets but in Balgonie, Saskatchewan, William (Bill) Wallace Gibson had one. Each night, when most folks were home asleep, Bill was busy in his workshop. Bill had a dream. He was building a flying machine. This short puppet animation tells his story.
Self-taught scientists and engineers, Wilbur and Orville Wright taught the world how to fly and are one of America’s greatest success stories. Their first successful flight, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, took place in December 1903. Next, they returned to Dayton, Ohio and continued to develop and test the world's first practical airplane.
Due to the development of computers and the growing number of programmers who develop new and improved software, there has been a wave of illegal software use, known as piracy. Companies are making advances in technology and increasing the number of computer programmers in an effort to reduce piracy. This is the Free Software model.
Host Emily Graslie meets with Dr. Ryan Felice to discuss the 3-D surface scanner, which he uses to create digital representations of skeletal anatomy. He visits various museums and scans their collections hoping to help preserve research findings. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Speed, elegance, comfort, and many other factors are taken into account when creating a car. Car designers must be intentional in the creation of a great vehicle and ensure that all parts work together. Sports cars must have powerful engines, excellent chassis, strong suspension systems, and fuel efficient systems. Automotive technology ensures that consumers get more than just a pretty car.
Northwestern University Mechanical Engineering professor Todd Murphey and his team are engineering robots to mimic humans. With support from the National Science Foundation, the team is using algorithms to enhance a robot’s ability to adapt to human behaviors. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
With support from the National Science Foundation, computer scientist Manuela Veloso and her team at Carnegie Mellon University are developing CoBots, autonomous indoor service robots to interact with people and provide help. CoBots can transport objects, deliver messages, and escort people to places. They are able to plan their paths and smoothly navigate autonomously.
Each year the goal of Outlook Colombia is to create an academic meeting which focuses on developing participants into proactive, critical and reflexive individuals in regards to the future of cities and societies. This event is carried out annually by the School of Administrative, Accounting, Economical and Business Sciences of “Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia” (UNAD).
Officer Tom McCloghry is a cop on the beat, patrolling downtown Columbia, South Carolina to keep the streets safe. And, though it's not so unusual these days to see police on Segways, this one is different. This is a hydrogen hybrid Segway, created with support from the National Science Foundation.
In the previous episode, Nerdo Cavernas revealed Campus Party Colombia 2012. This time Science and Technology will give viewers a little more of the "campuseros", those youngsters who showed their imagination, wit, and knowledge. It is an episode on automation projects, robotics, equipment performance devices, modding, and other areas where 5,000 "campuseros" who attended Campus Party Colombia 2012 stood out.
Timeblazers Sam and Jen look back at the squalid ways of old. For thousands of years people dumped garbage wherever they liked; food scraps were simply tossed onto the floor; and, in medieval times, garbage and human waste went right into the castle moat. All that garbage attracted the rats, which, in turn, spread a terrible disease called The Plague, The Black Death, or the Bubonic Plague.
