The cathode ray tube, fiber optic, color TV, remote controls, and satellites are only a few of the technological advances that have transformed television over the years. During the last decade, the audiovisual industry has not stopped innovating and creating numerous other tools of production and post-production for TV, movies, commercials, and other digital media. Host Nerdo Cavernas takes viewers on a journey to get to know all these important advances.
The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) is a Science and Technology Center established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with the mission of developing new technologies and computer models to measure and predict the response of sea level change. CReSIS provides students and faculty with opportunities to pursue exciting research in a variety of disciplines; to collaborate with world-class scientists and engineers in the US and abroad; and to make meaningful contributions to the ongoing, urgent work of addressing the impact of climate change. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
With support from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs, of the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Institute for Neural Computation at the University of California (UC), San Diego, and his colleagues are working to understand how brain circuitry controls how we move. The goal is to develop new technologies to help patients with Parkinson's disease and other debilitating medical conditions navigate the world on their own. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Can people in remote rural areas who are far from electric generating plants get power for their lights and appliances? Solar cells make it possible. Mechanical and electrical engineers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories take viewers through the process of designing and installing solar cell panels in remote locations.
Dr. Chris travels to Abu Dhabi to help out with some unique pets. Then, he journeys to the remote outback to uncover Australia’s best kept secret. He finishes with a tour of his hometown. Part of "The Open Road With Dr. Chris" series.
What is frequency? Why is it so important for radio and sound waves? Adabot gets all the answers from Ladyada and a new friend. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
The Canadian Arctic is ground zero for understanding the rapidly changing environment. Working in remote regions, scientists are using space-age technology with on-the-ground fieldwork and traditional Inuit knowledge to get the most detailed picture yet of the Arctic.
Spin plays a key role in controlling the planet. It drives the day and night cycle and controls the weather and climate. This episode explores how the spin of Earth sets the rhythm of life on planet Earth. Part of the "Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey" series.
As an assistant associate administrator for the Resource Management and Analysis Office, Toni Mumford manages in excess of $5 billion in annual NASA appropriations. In this key role, Ms. Mumford provides critical leadership in establishing program controls as well as in integrating and developing a budget perspective. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan travels to ScienScape one evening because of a power outage at his house. There he learns that there are only two sources of light-natural and artificial lights. Professor Hoo then guides him, Ani, and Moki on their night out to find the brightest source of light that is also completely free.
Animal researchers travel to Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, where a mystery illness is plaguing horses. A chance encounter by a veterinary pathologist reveals a disturbing fact: an invasive, non-native plant introduced to prevent soil erosion is poisoning the horses. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
An important part of the conservation effort in Gorongosa National Park is to identify the species living in the park to ensure their protection and monitor their recovery. Every year, teams of scientists conduct biodiversity surveys in different areas of the park. Piotr Naskrecki leads a survey project in a particularly remote area, the limestone gorges of the Cheringoma Plateau, to study the bat population.
Investigates some of the key concepts of physics. Using a drum kit, we look at how sound works, how we make it, and how it gets around. Also, examines electricity and electromagnetism and notes the similarities between a remote control car and a mobile phone charger. Finally, takes a look at radioactivity and identifies a radioactive device that can be found in almost every family home.
Thanks to the establishment, use, and appropriation of ICTs (Information and Communications Technologies); there has been great social, educational and cultural advancement which has increased the country's competitiveness. Today, the search for greater productivity at work has led to the implementation of a new type of work known as telecommuting. This initiative of the Ministry of ICT is a form of distance or remote work that carries out its objectives or goals through the use of information and communication technologies.
Observes the animals that make the Nile River their home, such as the baboon, spoonbill, crocodile, hippopotamus, African buffalo, elephant, cheetah, giraffe, lion, vulture, and ibis. Explores what they eat, where they find shelter, and how they live and play. Explains that they can only be found in remote places that are safe, where there is little contact with people, and where they can find food.
Step into the future of medicine with a look at the surgical robotics being developed at the Johns Hopkins Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology. Here, engineers are designing less invasive surgical techniques and robots that a decade ago may have seemed like science fiction. Many of these techniques are leading to significantly quicker and less painful recoveries while giving surgeons more flexibility than ever before.
In 1977, Voyagers I and II left Earth for deep space exploration and a close-up view of the edges of our solar system. Reveals how the space shuttles used the gravitational fields from surrounding planets to slingshot themselves through the outer planets. Voyager II's graphics and real pictures of Neptune and Uranus help explain their features, axis, rings and moons, and magnetic fields. Also notes some peculiar facts about each.
Most people view antibiotics as miracle drugs. They can get rid of a whole range of infections. But because they are prescribed for so many different ailments, they are easy to overuse. The medical community is now at a crisis point because many of them simply don’t work anymore. Scientists are hunting urgently for new antibiotics--a challenge that is taking them to some remote and unusual places.
Every cell in the body is a specific size. Host Trace Dominquez discusses some new scientific findings related to cell growth. A team of biologists has zeroed in on a previously unknown mechanism within the cell growth cycle that controls cell size. They made this fundamental finding by studying yeast cells, but it could provide insight to basic human biology. Part of the "Uno Dos of Trace" series.
