NOVA | Making Stuff (Coming to PBS January, 2011) | Preview #1 -- Robots...
Invisibility cloaks. Spider silk that is stronger than steel. Plastics made of sugar that dissolve in landfills. Self-healing military vehicles. Smart pills and micro-robots that zap diseases. Clothes that monitor your mood. What will the future bring, and what will it be made of? In NOVA's fascinating new four-hour series, "Making Stuff," popular New York Times technology reporter David Pogue takes viewers on a thrilling tour of the material world we live in, and the one that may lie ahead—offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at scientific innovations that are ushering in a new generation of materials that are stronger, smaller, smarter, and cleaner than anything we've ever seen. Wednesdays starting January 19, 2011 only on NOVA.

UPDATE [05 February 2010]: My idea of a good show is not one where I grow to hate the host more with each passing minute. This show is terrible. IMHO Pogue comes off as a smirky smartass, and I cannot watch without wanting to kick him in hope it makes him shut up. Everything elicts a wisecrack in the "Bill Nye the Science Guy" style, and I mean EVERYTHING. During one minute about recycling plastic bags into carbon nanotubes for lithium batteries, Pogue made FIVE class clown comments. Maybe it's the editting, but then -- wow! That editor HATES you, David!
