| Summary |
The latest developments in health, medicine, environmental issues, space and technology feature in this exciting and thought-provoking package of science stories. This episode looks at a powerful new technology - the gene chip, which allows researchers to analyse tens of thousands of genes in a single experiment and ultimately could reveal the role genes play in human disease; a novel surgical procedure that uses the body's own cartilage to repair knee damage; young engineer at Xerox who has dreamed up a way of building complex robots from lots of inexpensive modules; the natural chemical armoury used by sponges to ward off enemies that scientists hope to use to fight an array of human disease; and the Australian International Gravitational Observatory (AIGO) that is trying to detect gravity waves |
