Photographers and researchers travel to Borneo’s rainforests and document its disappearance. They also highlight the effects of deforestation on animals and their habitats. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
A main goal of the 2013 Colombian Engineering Meeting was to gather teachers, students, researchers, professional associations, and the private sector to discuss issues related to engineering. This important event showed technological and theoretical advances of the wide world of engineering.
Arizona gets plenty of sunlight, and researchers there are working hard to turn that energy into electricity. At Arizona State University, graduate student Brad Brennan makes and tests new materials that will allow industry to build smaller, cheaper, flexible photovoltaic solar cells that can go almost anywhere.
The business world has forced agricultural researchers and producers to improve production systems by either increasing the quality of the product, size, or growth process. All these issues are part of the concept of Biotechnology.
Learn about some of the bold and brilliant ideas researchers and conservationists have to rescue corals and coral reefs from disaster. Part of the "Coral Comeback" series.
Scientist Cagan Sekercioglu is researching the birds found in the Coast Rican forests. He and a team of student researchers net, count, and track the varied birds of the forest. A segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
The project is called VORTEX2. For five weeks in the spring of 2009, and again in spring 2010, 100 researchers and scientists from 16 universities deployed about 40 vehicles armed with high tech equipment to measure and probe tornadoes and tornado development.
Tulips arrived in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Their beauty helped grow the nation’s economy. Today botanists and researchers try to produce the next big star in the tulip family.
Meet an education specialist from the Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve. She says becoming a scientist is all about being curious, and she helps researchers count the horseshoe crabs on the Atlantic coast. Part of "The Remarkable Horseshoe Crab" series.
In this episode, the researchers in the A to Z Career Lab investigate the roles and responsibilities of electricians. Individuals in this profession specialize in electrical wiring of buildings. Part of the "I Can Be Anything I Want to Be A to Z" 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.
What if scientists could grow elevators to space? Or make phones that last for weeks without a charge? These things could be possible someday with an amazing material like carbon nanotubes. A MIT scientist discusses the curious way researchers create this super-material. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
Harpy eagles are large, powerful eagles, but their numbers are in severe decline. They are found in the forests of Central America, and local researchers have established a national park and breeding program to ensure their future success. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
What is a botanist? The researchers in the A to Z Career Lab investigate the roles and responsibilities of botanists, and they report their findings to inquisitive students. Part of the "I Can Be Anything I Want to Be A to Z" series.
Anthropologists have made new fossil discoveries on Palau, an island country located in the western Pacific Ocean. But these fossils do not appear to be of animal origins. Could they belong to early humans? If so, scientists must answer the question of human variation. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
What is a hydrologist? The researchers in the A to Z Career Lab investigate the roles and responsibilities of hydrologists, and they report their findings to inquisitive students. Part of the "I Can Be Anything I Want to Be A to Z" series.
Stomach ulcers affect nearly four million American's every year. So, what causes them, and how are they treated? With funding from the National Science Foundation, researchers at Boston University are uncovering the mysteries of how H. pylori bacteria is able to survive and thrive in the acidic world of the human stomach.
Worldwide, more than 40 million people have Alzheimer’s. Each being stripped of their memories and often their dignity. More than 100 years ago, a doctor identified two possible causes of Alzheimer’s: gooey plaques and fibrous tangles in brain tissue. This documentary investigates both and highlights the key researchers in the field who have helped to develop the leading theories of the disease.
