| 10.2 | What's The Next Big Thing? | What are the technologies most likely to revolutionize life in the future? Engineers designing social robots are interviewed; tiny, two-wheeled, battery-powered cars called EN-Vs are profiled; and, Jay Keasling, a leading pioneer in the cutting-edge field of synthetic biology, shares his work on developing “designer” microbes that generate biofuels and medicines, which could save millions of lives and dollars with low-cost malaria drugs and clean-burning fuel. Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts. WEB LINK |

| 10.2 | Can Science Stop Crime? | David Pogue meets scientists pushing the limits of technology-- not only to solve horrific murders, but also to try to prevent crimes before they even happen. He learns the latest techniques, from unraveling the clues embedded in a decomposing corpse, to detecting lies by peering directly into a suspect's brain, to tracking the creation of a criminal mind.

| 10.2 | How Smart Can We Get? | David Pogue finds out if it’s possible to stretch the boundaries of the human mind.
He meets a “memory athlete” who can remember strings of hundreds of random numbers and a man who suddenly acquired an extraordinary musical gift after a freak head injury. Pogue puts himself to the test. After a scan, he finds out how the anatomy of his brain measures up against the greatest mind of the century--Albert Einstein. (3 of 6) WEB LINK |
