Host Neil deGrasse Tyson will tackle one of science s major challenges in each episode, framed as a simple question that ordinary people wonder and worry about. Neil will guide us as he explores dramatic discoveries and the frontiers of research that connect each central, provocative mystery. Episode includes:

  1. Social Robots - Would you want a robotic friend who could chitchat, do chores, even take care of you? Such bots may be here soon.

  2. Robotic Cars - Tiny, battery-powered cars called EN-Vs, now in R&D, can talk to each other, come when called, even drive themselves.

  3. Detecting Earthquakes - Can we predict earthquakes? NOVA scienceNOW visits Haiti and California in search of answers.

  4. Smart Grid - Our electric grid is a marvel of 20th-century engineering, but it s showing signs of strain. Can a smart grid help?

  5. Profile: Jay Keasling

A synthetic biologist’s Nebraska farm roots are serving him well in his search for new, clean-burning biofuels.

Host Neil deGrasse Tyson will tackle one of science’s major challenges in each episode framed as a simple question that ordinary people wonder and worry about. Neil will guide us as he explores dramatic discoveries and the frontiers of research that connect each central provocative mystery. Episode includes:

  1. ORIGINS OF LIFE - Scientists have long argued that billions of years ago life emerged on its own - from the self-assembly of non-living matter but no knows exactly how. Now in landmark discovery chemist John Sutherland has created the conditions in which the building blocks of RNA - one of the key molecules of life and the probable precursor to DNA - assemble themselves naturally.

  2. BIRTH OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM - Could the key to our solar system’s existence be the epic explosion of an ancient supernova? Combining chemical evidence from meteorites with the latest computer simulations scientists show how nearly five billion years ago a supernova shock wave could have swept through a cloud of dust and gas and caused it to collapse eventually forming the sun and the planets. We also see amazing Hubble images of nebulae where the same cycle is happening today.

  3. LICE AND THE HAIRLESS APE - Fossil hominid bones tell us a lot about human evolution but still leave many questions unanswered like when we lost our hair and started wearing clothes. Thankfully there’s another source - even if it’s kind of gross. Most people especially the parents of young children are sworn enemies of head lice but the creepy critters - who’ve been sucking our blood for millions of years - are suddenly proving their value. Their DNA turns out to hold a treasure trove of clues about our evolution.

  4. PROFILE: ANDRE FENTON - Can a simple injection erase a painful memory? Andre Fenton (SUNY Downstate) who grew up in Guyana South America says it can. But he isn’t in the business of wiping out personal histories. He hopes that his work can help people struggling with dementia and Alzheimers and one day illuminate the biological root of memory itself.

Join an extreme expedition to the top of Antarctica’s highest peak—Vinson Massif. In this high-altitude adventure, Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air, world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker, and their team of climbers, scientists, and filmmakers take a trailblazing expedition to the top of Antarctica’s tallest peak, Vinson Massif. Along the way, their experiences are contrasted with those of Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen and British explorer Robert Falcon Scott who in 1911 raced to be first to reach the South Pole. Krakauer’s insightful narration takes you to the driest and coldest continent on earth where the team embarks on an extreme mission to not only to summit Vinson by traversing the unclimbed east face, but also to determine its exact height and to take snow measurements that will help scientists study weather patterns. Join NOVA and battle 60-mile-an-hour winds and temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero. Learn about the horrible fate that befell Scott and his team after reaching the South Pole one month after Amundsen. See spectacular panoramic footage that captures a rugged but beautiful place as far away from civilization as you can get and still be on earth. And experience the tension of a team pushed to its limits.

They are so bright, they are a billion billion times more luminous than the sun. They are so distant, their light takes billions of years just to reach Earth. These amazingly violent explosions-or death stars-may even have the power to eradicate life in an entire galaxy. See how these celestial phenomena can teach us about the dawn of the universe. And hear a controversial theory of how a gamma ray burst somewhere in our own galaxy could destroy life on Earth.
