episode description
Nanosciene has a miraculous new microscope. Its ability to make images to a resolution of half the width of a hydrogen atom makes it the most powerful microscope in the world. Scientists are planning to use the largest laser beam in the world to shoot tremendous bursts of energy at an area the size of a pencil eraser. The goal? To recreate fusion – which powers the sun and some nuclear bombs -- perhaps harnessing a new source of clean energy for the 21st century. Alaska’s Northern Lights are one of the world’s greatest natural mysteries. Find out more about the spectacular light shows up north and what scientists are discovering about the earth's magnetic field.
