episode description
The world’s scientists are manipulating particles at the atomic level, ushering in potential cures for cancer, clothes that don't stain, and solar panels as thick as a sheet of paper. Find out how these unimaginably small particles work to create some of today’s most cutting edge technology. Solar and wind power may get the headlines when it comes to renewable energy, but another type of clean power is heating up. Geothermal power uses hot rock from deep inside the Earth to generate electricity. Find out how the world's largest power-producing geothermal field in the United States has been providing electricity for roughly 850,000 households, and is set to expand even further. Finally, it may look like waste, but to some people it’s green power. Find out how more and more businesses, like dairy farms and restaurants, are taking their leftover waste and transforming it into clean energy.
