What are advanced materials, and are they safe? In this second video in the Risk Bites series on advanced materials, we look at the emergence of increasingly advanced materials over the 20th century, and the development of multi-scale materials design and engineering, from the nanoscale to the macro
What are advanced materials, and are they safe? In this third video in the Risk Bites series on advanced materials, we provide a brief introduction to the emerging field of advanced materials, and designer materials more broadly. Risk Bites was created by Andrew Maynard. This week's video was pr
Do advanced materials come with advanced health risks? In this fourth episode in the Risk Bites series on advanced materials, we look at why materials developers and researchers are interested in asking "are advanced materials safe?" Risk Bites was created by Andrew Maynard. This week's video w
What make advanced materials potentially harmful? In part 5 of this Risk Bites series on advanced materials, we explore what characteristics of materials affect their safety, and increase their potential risks to human health. Risk Bites was created by Andrew Maynard. This week's video was prod

What are advanced materials, and are they safe? In this series of seven videos, Risk Bites takes you through the emergence of increasingly advanced materials over the 20th century and the incredible opportunities that these materials and the associated science and technology open up. We'll also be
Gregor Mendel came up with the correct hypothesis for how inheritance of traits works. Mendel published his ideas in 1866, but it took until the 1900’s for his ideas to be recognised. In this video we represent Mendel's work using genetic crosses. VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, where all of our v
DNA sequencing is used to determine the exact sequence of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine and thus to decode the genetic material. Authors: 3sat/nano/Volker Wasmuth, Patrick Zeilhofer/Sven Bender, Alexis Jentzsch, Marcel Herrmann/Tobias Adams/Crushed eyes media /Prof. Dr. med. Olaf
This video excerpt from NOVA examines a genetic screening technique called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD. PGD enables researchers to identify mutations in an embryo’s DNA that can lead to birth defects and more than 300 diseases, including Huntington’s, cystic fibrosis, and some cancers.
This video excerpt from NOVA uncovers the genetic mystery that nearly killed Alexis, now 14, and introduces the debate surrounding genetic testing at birth. After diagnosing Alexis and her twin brother Noah with cerebral palsy at a young age, doctors later discovered that the twins shared a rare gen

In this video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW, learn about obesity and how both genetics and behavior play a role in its development. Obesity researchers Sadaf Forooqi, Stephen O'Rahilly, and Jeffrey Friedman discuss the physiological basis of appetite regulation, including the roles of the hor
