Breakthrough

Deep looks at developments in physics, astronomy and other sciences.

S1, EP80 "Fusion: Harnessing the Power of Stars"

Humanity is closer than ever before to a perpetual clean power source after a team of scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory successfully produced a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain.

S1, EP83 "The Great Seaweed Invasion"

A giant mass of floating seaweed is invading popular beaches in the US and the Caribbean; scientists are racing to figure out how to protect the coast while tracking and studying this natural wonder.

S1, EP86 "ECHO: The Penguin's Bodyguard"

In Antarctica, a state-of-the-art robotic penguin, called ECHO, is changing the way scientists monitor wildlife. The autonomous yellow robot has been integrated into the penguin colony and is using remote sensing technology to monitor these now-endangered penguin colonies.

S1, EP5 "Extreme Wildfire Combat"

Wildfires have greatly increased in size and intensity over the past few years; after record-setting conflagrations erupted in the region's prized forests, new tools using cutting-edge technology are being developed to help save property and lives.

S1, EP91 "Engineering Life"

Humans are not the strongest. Our senses are nothing special. But our intelligence is letting us wield the power of evolution. Scientists are unlocking the mysteries of the natural world to improve our lives, our health and our future.

S1, EP90 "Brain-Computer Interface: The Digital Mind"

This is an inside look at how teams of scientists, engineers and surgeons-and their courageous test subjects-are using Brain-Computer Interfaces to bring hope and increased independence to patients living with conditions like paralysis.

S1, EP89 "Asteroid Impact"

Asteroids. Mountains of rock that hurtle through space, capable of mass destruction. A series of space missions are targeting them. Could these potential planet killers also reveal the origins of life itself? And can humanity protect itself.

S1, EP88 "Pathways to Mars"

Sixty years ago, Mariner 4 sent back the first images of Mars. It's a trip NASA has made twenty more times since. Robots-probes, landers, rovers, and even helicopters-are searching for signs of life on the Red Planet, and paving the way for us to.
