Is it possible to build a brain out of silicon? We go on an atomic-scale adventure to find out and hear about plans to use DNA to design microscopic computer technology.
Ever wondered what the computers of the future might look like? We head to California to find out. Is it possible to build a monkey brain out of silicon? Researchers at IBM are exploring the possibilities. And we go on an atomic-scale adventure with research scientist Chris Lutz, who explains his plans to use DNA to design microscopic computer technology. We meet the people behind the world's smallest animation; and take a spin in the latest battery-powered car with Dick Swanson... nought to 60 in four seconds? Not bad!
