NOVA | Making Stuff Stronger | PBS

www.pbs.org/nova/makingstuff Materials have defined many eras of humankind including the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, as well as recent periods dominated by plastics and silicon, and more. Now, our world is poised on the edge of a revolution in the science of materials. MAKING STUFF, a 4-part NOVA series, reveals materials pushed to the extreme, then takes viewers on a nano-journey inside to reveal how atoms themselves can be manipulated. The results will change the future of medicine, computers, energy, and more: The "stuff" that makes this material world turn.

Looks so interesting. I can hardly wait for the new season and new Nova episodes. I've been going through "Nova Withdrawal". But come on really, PBS? Coming Winter 2011? That must have been a typo, right? You meant Winter 2010, right?

[PBS]

@JixYt It's 2011.

Very cool!

[bigcrunch1971]

I just watched "Making Stuff Stronger" and I must say. AWESOME!

I need to have all of them for my very own.

[phrawgg2]

is science fiction now obsolete now that it can no longer simply take advantage of the setting?

[DIECASTER]

Looks like a great show, I'm eagerly waiting for it.

I've been watching NOVA since the early 70's and must say I might have learned much more diverse information than all my years of school. Thank You PBS for being a beacon, and anyone else that reads this please send what money you can to help keep them on the air

@PBS"It's 2011"

Man! So Y so far into future for new episodes? No money? This bad economy's hit PBS in pocketbook too? If so, it's a darned shame b/c just shows how out of kilter our world is where govts see it perfectly fine 2 bail out WallSt banksters 100 cents on dollar & yet they cut funding (w/out blinking an eye or even a little remorse) 2 states so that they have 2 close libraries, de-pave roads, turn off streetlights, close fire stations, not pay teachers so close schools 1 day per week.

@WorldChampInfinity "Maybe, Nova is in the Southern hemisphere? =P"

.

It's not in the southern hemisphere (Nova is American and often partners up with the BBC), but if it were the case, it would be coming in Summer 2011 (June 2011) for us in the northern hemisphere. That would still be too far for us Novaphiles itching for new episodes. =P
